Catholic Conference on the Line When CM Hosts BC High Thanksgiving Morning

The 50th anniversary of the rivalry will also see the stadium's dedication to former coach Jim O'Connor.

Also sophomores, long-time best friend Armani Reeves and Camren Williams claimed starting spots on defense and playing time in a receiving rotation on offense. A fourth featured sophomore, track star Donovan Henry, also took roles in both the offensive and defensive backfields. Fast forward to their third season as the team's featured players and the window, though set to close come late November or early December, rests wide open.
