I do like how Catholics claim Bill Russell at USF. They left out a certain Bull with the initials of QD, though.

Never even tried, which was completely out of line for a young Reader. She told the weird stories that Boers hinted at a few years later. |

Also, I don't think North had a soccer team and if they did, they didn't play in the CCL. Hell, now that I think about it, I'm not sure South was in the league, but I think for soccer they were. Yeah,with the Quigley's you went based on where you lived. South of Madison you went to Q.South. |

They merged in to just Quigley at the North Campus, then like 4-5 years later they closed that one as well. The big dust up when the closed South was who was to get the campus,no one in the community wanted Rita to get it based on their relationship with the black/latino churches. Lot of people pushed for Leo,but then came the Irish Christian Brothers fiasco. |

But it never had the attendance of a viable stand alone school when it was re-consolidated. And it was dead to most south siders I guess. |

Catholics got smart and stopped shipping their first born boys to be served up as f@ggots play pieces. |

Wasn't a good look in a building that was yellowing with age... |
