Owen O’Donnell of West Roxbury, "I honestly can’t believe that we performed at the world’s most famous concert hall."
Richard Canon and Owen O’Donnell of West Roxbury, juniors at Boston College High School, along with 83 other members of The BC High Concert Choir, recently performed at Carnegie Hall in New York City. In the weeks leading up to the Carnegie Hall performance Richard and Owen and their fellow-singers were asked to come to school at 7 a.m. 3 to 4 times per week to rehearse, even during school vacation week in February. The repertoire was carefully considered for the world-renowned venue by Dr. Marina Rozenberg, Choir Director at BC High. The choir students mastered selections in Latin, Czech, Russian and English as the repertoire included classical pieces composed by Puccini, Prokofiev and Dvorak. The program also contained a traditional …

West Roxbury's Bartley Regan secures two points as BC High takes Frozen Fenway game, 4-0.
There isn't much the Catholic Memorial hockey program hasn't done in its storied history. After Saturday afternoon's game, the team can cross one of those rare new experiences off its to-do list, having played archrival BC High outdoors at Fenway Park. Though the Knights fell 4-0, the experience resonated with the players and the fans. "We were all hyped to play here," said CM senior captain Jared Beckwith. "It obviously didn't come out in our favor, but we were all excited. It was a great day." Early on, it looked like the game may have lived up to the hype for the Knights; CM dominated play in the scoreless first period, outshooting the Eagles 12-3. BC High alternate captain and West Roxbury resident Bartley Regan, however, changed the…

Knights end their season 7-2 as four captains played their final games.
Catholic Memorial's much-hyped 2011 football season came to a sombering conclusion Thanksgiving morning as BC High shut down the high-powered Knights offense, claiming the Catholic Conference championship with a 13-0 win. Though scoring was at a premium in the 50th annual rivalry game, the Eagles (8-3, 4-0) controlled the game offensively, running 53 plays to CM's 30. That disparity in possession led to CM head coach Alex Campea's daring but controversial fourth quarter decision to attempt to convert on fourth-and-two on the Knights' own 22-yard line while trailing 6-0. Senior quarterback AJ Doyle's keeper was stuffed like a turkey by a strong BC High defensive line, giving the Eagles possession well within striking distance. Seven plays …

The 50th anniversary of the rivalry will also see the stadium's dedication to former coach Jim O'Connor.
What better way for the Catholic Memorial School to honor two-time Eastern Massachusetts Super Bowl winning coach Jim O'Connor than to dedicate the football team's stadium to him during a halftime ceremony on Thanksgiving, in the 50th annual rivalry game against BC High? Perhaps by earning their first trip to the playoffs since that third Super Bowl in 1978 on the very same day. Thanksgiving has loomed on the Knights' schedule all season. The two teams always seemed to be on a collision path, gelling as units in the first half of the season and running through Catholic Conference opponents in the second. Now, the teams will play for the Conference championship. By announcing the dedication, CM (7-1, 3-0) upped the day's stakes even more. …

Knights fall 3-0 in South Sectional Quarterfinals.
Maybe it was fitting that in a game such highly-hyped, with two Division 1-bound pitchers dueling on the mound locked in a scoreless tie, with both teams sporting 15-6 records and state title aspirations, that one bad bounce could make a big difference in the contest. That's what happened when a ground ball hit by BC High junior outfielder and number nine hitter Jack Buckley took a wild hop right in front of Catholic Memorial shortstop Shane O'Leary, bounding into centerfield and scoring the Eagles' first run of the game on Monday afternoon. The Eagles, behind ace pitcher Donny Murray, went on to win 3-0, vanquishing the Knights from state tournament play. "It makes it more frustrating that the first run scored, came on a ball that bounced…
