Soccer and Basketball Alumni Events Every fall has several traditions that bring us back home. Home to each of us can mean many different things - coming back to see your family, your friends, the home you grew up in, or coming back to campus to where you spent your most formidable years. This year might have been a little extra special with everything the pandemic has affected, these last two years, as a record number of alumni came back to campus to compete on the pitch and in the gym. The De La Salle Alumni soccer game was played to a 6-6 tie going into a shootout, and our 2022 varsity soccer team prevailed over an allstar alumni squad. Players and fans from both sides enjoyed some off-site hospitality hosted by the Alumni Association. The alumni basketball game has outgrown our usual format of alumni competing against our current varsity team and has now become an alumni versus alumni basketball game. Odd years, even years, a balance of young, and not so young, alumni played hard, competed, and naturally, the alumni won. Current Spartan basketball players stayed to meet and greet our alumni and their families at the Alumni Association Reception in the Ladouceur Athletic Performance Center and Hall of Fame Lobby. It was great to see this fall tradition continue and grow each year. Looking forward to seeing you all again in fall 2022.
