-2007 c Mrs.MaryJoSmith When asked to write a dedication to a true Lasallian teacher , it b ~ mes apparent that a simple tribute is not adequate. Mrs. Smith pr vides strength to La Salle's family, both during and after school. H humble and optimistic attitude has created a unique atmosphere in h classroom, where she has nu rtured her love for teaching over the pa 18 years. During her many hours at Saint Martin's Tutoring, Mrs. Smi has portrayed the Lasall ian mot to of "Leave to Serve ." During one her Forum practices, one would be able to witness the passion ar vigor she brings to the debate team. A list of all the programs tha1 dedicated person such as Mrs. Smith influences would become ir mensely large rather quickly; however, these are just a few of the pr grams to which she brings love and success.

Mrs. Smith brings an incredible amount of fer¡r and zeal to the classroom, while conveying r true love for math to her students. She strives reach the entire class, whether the subject is adnced calculus material or reviewing the basics Algebra I. She delivers each new lesson plan as t were the most important material all year, rich to her it usually is. No student is ever un!lcome in her company, from before and after tool to countless hours cooped up in the Math nter.

When not at La Salle, one could usually find : at one of her various service projects. On al>Stevery Thursday after school, Mrs. Smith ps coordinate a very special place, Saint Mar's. Saint Martin's Tutoring is just one other way which she connects with children; however, s time she works with students who do not re the chances other students do. Mrs. Smith's npassion and love for teaching does not end at Salle's driveway. [t is not difficult to imagine Mrs. Smith in the ~ as a coach of the La Salle Forum team. One uld just have to sit through one of her classes .vitness her unique skill and talents as an oraBut it is her leadership and confidence that lly encourages the team towards its many vie.es and accomplishments. Without her guide and wisdom, the La Salle Forum would not .vhere it is today. \s the La Salle community, we are truly ;sed to have someone so dedicated and so 1ngas a member of our family. If her tremenlS strength is not apparent in anything else, it I her recent fight and victory over cancer. De¡e the odds, Mrs. Smith never quit; she never her strength. It is an incredible honor to have h a fine educator, caring soul, and an encourlg coach back in La Salle's halls. Mrs. Smith y is the definition of a strong, considerate and icated Lasallian teacher.

MPORTANT 'Enter to Learn, Leave to Serve." Every day, en more than one thousand young, intellitt Lasallian gentlemen walk through the 1t doors, we are not just entering to simply n scholarly academics . After all, while acanics are extraordinarily important at La e, there is more to the spirit that embodies ,alle . La Salle is a school of interaction and i compassion. It is interested in faith-based ning in which every member 's beliefs add he spirituality alive on campus . As stated, ~n we enter to learn, we enter to learn the ls and theories of science, English, math, etc. ,vever, we also enter to learn the values of 1., so that when we leave La Salle, we leave izing our learned values to serve others . leginning each day and class per iod with a yer, La Salle seems to instill faith within its

students from their first m ments here. With the simple saying of "St. John Baptist de La Salle, pray for us; Live Jesu s in our hearts, forever ," the idea of faith is always present. Besides the daily prayers, the tudents at La Salle also participate in the faith -filled retreats, concluding w ith Kairos, in wh ich we are encour aged to look into ourse lves and share with others who we truly are . Furth ermore, in La Salle's many liturgies and Masses the school community joins together to expre ss our faith in God while sharing our many talents with Him that He has bestowed upon us. Here, at La Salle, we plunge into a sea of acade mics, where we are encouraged to "explore" further into our studies, but also delve into our true selves strengthening our faith.

D3T3R get involved One important ingredient needed to succeed at La Salle is involvement . Getting involved is a key to experiencing all that La Salle has to offer. The number of extracurricular activities at La Salle is astonishing. The various activities consist of the entire student body.

Whether a student is involved in sports, one of the various clubs, or on WEXP, he is meeting new people and establishing friendships . This is because no matter what a student is interested in, there is a club or activity for him . In any club or activity students can meet new people who are interested in similar things. The varied number of extracurricular opportunities including: Spanish Club, Italian Club , Celtic Club, Robotics Club , Athletics, or one of many service projects, show that there is a place for everybody . One great thing about these extracurricular activities is that a student can be involved in as many as he would like. Many students at La Salle are involved in sports or intramurals, in clubs, and on service projects every day . It is an unbelievab le thing to see.

The activities are so special because they are for students and run by students.

IST DAYOFSCHOO On the first day of school at La Salle, most freshmen do not know what to expect.

Some have never been in a Catholic school before, and most have never been in an all boys ' school. As we enter through the doors, the new images and routines can be overwhelming , but there are many upperclassmen and faculty to guide us through the day. Simple things, like finding lockers or homerooms can be a difficult task, but there are many helping hands throughout the school. Anxiety is eased as we work our wa y through the day.

As the first day progresses and we meet our teachers oneby-one, it become s obvious that we will be ta ught by a bunch of great p eople this year . We also me t a lot of new faces this day . Many of these faces will be lifelong friends. At the end of the day, there is an excitement about starting at this new place. We look forward to th next day and the years to come. We are proud to call La Salle our school.

a I LA SALLE? After spending four years here at La Salle, there is one aspect of the school, among many, th t has stood out the entire time: La Salle is a very welcoming community . From the first d ay freshman year and then up to and including senior year, everyone, including the a ministration, teachers and all students, is friendly and willing to help anyone else. Thi ' welcoming aspect of La Sall permeates through and reall y can make the La Salle community a second family for many students.

While all La Salle students are different in their own ways, the differences are embraced. ere is something here for everyone to participate in. Whether a student finds his mche in academic ac-

tivities, service, sports, writ ing, music, or is dedicated to a certain club , there is a place for all at this school. And along with that idea, it does not matter whether a student only takes part in academic activities or only plays a sport after school; all students are accepting of others and their interests. Here, all put forth a strong effort to make each other feel comfortable at school.

At La Salle, students can be themselves while still being members of the La Salle community. And being a part of this La Salle community is special. While this school is a fine preparatory high school, it is much more than that.

Each and every student has the special privilege of not simply being just a student here, but a very special and important member of the Lasallian family.

1ST AND GOAL TOGO

A

ttending La Salle College High School is a great opportunity . A freshman enters with great determination to achieve his own personal goals.

This first step is the beginning of a journey that will open a new chapter in our lives lasting four years.

As new freshmen at La Salle, we are made aware of many opportunities. We are encouraged, and have already begun to explore these new opportunities, as well as new challenges.

Freshmen quickly learn of La Salle's mission to develop and guide boys into young men of respect and leadership. La Salle hopes to encompass all aspects of life into its daily agenda. It strives to develop young men mentally, physically, and socially. This is achieved through La Salle's education, which is made possible by the faculty, who are more than willing to help whenever possible. The upperclassmen also provide a strong example of leadership, which helps guide us as we are adjusting to high school. Freshmen are also introduced and encouraged to participate in the many forms of help La Salle offers, smoothing any bumps we may encounter.

Although the journey is just starting, we have already received a taste of what to expect.

La Salle gives us opportunities that we must act upon in our journey. Freshmen year begins the process of creating Lasallian gentlemen.

ur journey towards becoming true Lasallian gentlemen takes a pivotal turn during our sophomore year. Freshman year quickly becomes a distant memory, as we enter into a new stage in our education. New teachers, classes, friends, and experiences await us and aid us in this process. Throughout this journey, wisdom, perspective, and insight are inevitably acquired through the help of our elders and other classmates. We begin a new chapter in our lives, distancing ourse lves further from our youthful ways. Challenges undoubtedly await us; however, with ou r education and various experiences, we are certainly prepared to handle any issue that confronts us. As we go through the trials and tribulations of our high school career, La Salle gives us the freedom and integrity to learn and grow. Sophomore year builds upon Lasallian qualities and expands our knowledge, as the process of becoming a true member of the La Salle community continues.

3RD TIMES ACHARM

J

unior year at La Salle is a time of great responsibility. Juniors must take on new challenges as they enter their third year. They accept their title of "upperclassmen" with pride and dedication while contributing all they can to the La Salle community.

Along with the title of "uppe rclassmen" comes more leadership , academic, and service responsibility. Juniors realize the need to work harder than ever before in order to chieve success and understand the impact this year will have on the rest of their lives.

This year is also a time of buil ding friendship within the junior class as a whole. After 2 years of bonding with friends and maturing with one's classmates, many juniors have developed friendships that will last a lifetime. By junior year, many trivial differences are put aside and a mutual respect is developed within the class.

When this meaningful year is finished, the junior class will be able to look back and feel proud of the hard work and effort put in by each and every student. By year's end, the junior class will be prepared to enter LaSalle as seniors and become the leaders of the LaSalle community.

REPRESENT! NG 9-12 One Hundred Fifty Years - the Student :ouncil theme for 2007-2008 school year, was hosen to celebrate everything that La Salle has tood for over the past 150 years, a legacy that as remained in tact for such a long time and rill continue to grow along with the school for ears to come.

As construction started in the summer for a Salle's new expansion projects, many peole wondered what would happen to the unity nd strength of LaSalle. However, right from 1e start of the school year, when we succeed:i our magazine goal of $115,000, we knew 1at the school year would continue on that

Above - Tom Barr and Will Begley bring up the gifts at the St dent Council Induction Liturgey

high pace and our strength and unity was at an all time high. After the first mixer, the opening pep rally, Wing Bowl, the formal, Battle of the Bands, Field Day, proms, and the numerous PCL Championships, the 2007-2008 school has been a year of success.

The past year was a great year at La Salle thanks to the support of Mrs. Maher (who we drove crazy at times), the leadership and enthusiasm of the entire Student Council, and participation and support of the entire student body .

These upperclassmen members are selected and employ the guiding principles of the Society: scholarship, leadership, character, and service. This year's faculty leaders Dr. Joseph D' Angelo and Brother William DiPasquale and student leaders, along with the myriad of members have served and helped the La Salle community in a variety of ways.

The main focus of the National Honor Society is the peer tutoring. Every year the members gratefully offer their services to any student seeking extra assistance in a class. The tutors meet with the students on a weekly basis

ls c SERVICE 4 ALL From Service to Solidarity- "An individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity."

This quotation by Martin Luther King, Jr. perfectly represents the Lasallian Service Corps.

As the largest and most involved club at La Salle, students rise up and reach out to the community, both locally and internationally. It is not difficult to see that students at La Salle truly live out the message of "Leave to Serve." LSC offers a wide array of weekly service opportunities, from tutoring underprivileged students at La Salle Academy, St. Martins, or Providence Center, to serving meals at Project home or Sarnelli House.

Sop omore Travis Roberts helps tuto r at Providence Center

Along with many other opportunities, U carries their work over to the weekends, whe students participate in Saint Vincent's S01 Kitchen and Saint Francis Inn. For studer who are busy with other commitments, La Sa offers many seasonal and summer service o portunities, such as Secret Santa and the A palachian trip. Last summer, 17 La Salle st dents also traveled to Bolivia, where they u dertook various forms of service and expe enced the Bolivian culture first-han As a vibrant aspect of La Salle, the students LSC offer their own talents in giving back.

ls c JUNIORURBANCHALLENGE 'Leave to Serve." These words are comm once among students and faculty alike here at 3alle. For juniors who partake in the "Urban :tllenge," these words take on a more pow11meaning. Students leave the comforts of Salle to spend time in Camden, a place ridt with poverty, crime, and violence. The ,ban Challenge" provides a unique chance ;kim the surface of a life lived in poverty. those who partake in the "Urban Chalge," it is an eye-opening experience. Stutts come to appreciate what they have and v blessed their lives really are. The chal5e makes students realize that poverty is a cial problem in the world today and much st be done to create economic equality . Stutts come face-to-face with dozens of unedu?d or under-educated men, women, and .dren who live their days wondering ~ther they will see the sun tomorrow. \lthough the challenge is a one-night expe-

rience, the various activities the students perform while in Camden allow students to successfully influence the lives of the people they meet. Before the challenge began, students were not acclimated to such a foreign lifestyle.

Students were asked to be open to such a different way of life. Students realize the difficulties of living a life of poverty in Camden . When asked about his experience on the "Urban Challenge," one student remarked, "The employees at the Romero Center, where we stayed, put into perspective just how difficult and dangerous life can be in Camden." Certainly before students experienced the "Urban Challenge" they never would have thought to be thankful for the simple things in life. One can conclude that "Urban Challenge" provides students with new insight into the world around them.

ba nd NOTESON A SCALE La Salle has many opportunities for the aspiring young musician , based on scheduled band classes during the school day and private instrumental instruction . La Salle musicians participate in a myriad of extracurricular bands as well, including the pep band, which cheers on the football team from the stands; the pit orchestra, which provides all the music for La Salle's musicals; and the acclaimed competition jazz band, which competes against other high schools in the region. The skill of musicianship represented in the pit orchestra and competition jazz band is an anomaly among high school musicians . The pep band is the largest band at La Salle, full of enthusiastic supporters of their school, willing to dedicate many Friday

The competiti band, which showcases 20 of La Salle's m, talented musicians, has enjoyed great succ1 under the leadership of Mr. Joe Vettori, shatt ing expectations several years in a row.

This year, the band was led by President . lian Tucker and Vice Presidents Kevin Hugl and Bill Rooney. Thanks to the hard work a dedication of these three young men, Mr.\, tori, Mr. Ciccimaro, and the entire amazi music staff, La Salle's music department l enjoyed a fantastic year!

the odd couple 1+1=2?

Can two divorced men share an apartment without driving each other crazy? That was the subject of La Salle's Fall Drama, Neil Simon's classic comedy The Odd Couple. The story is about two childhood friends, a slob named Oscar Madison (Frank Farrell '08) and a neat-freak named Felix Unger (John Diiulio '08), who move into the same apartment after Felix is thrown out by his wife. What starts as an arrangement between friends soon turns into a nightmare as the two begm to realize that they can't stand living together. Their poker buddies Speed (Matt Dwyer '08), Murray (Mykk Hoffman '08), Vinnie (Sean Janda '10), and Roy (Vince Szczesniak '10) are soon caught right in the middle of the growing tension. Much hilarity ensues, including an awkward dinner date with the ditzy

Pigeon sisters, Cecily (Catherine Begley '08, MSJ) and G~ dolyn (Barbara Spencer '08, GMA). In the end, we learn the bonds of friendship are what matter most.

A great deal of credit must be given to the stage and ligh crew that constructed the stage setting and allowed the sho路 run as smoothly as possible. Also, the cast and crew owe th, to Laura Free '08 (MSJ),who was an excellent prop and cosh coordinator, and Drew Needham '09, who served as stage n ager. Finally, this production would not have been pos~ without the flawless direction of Mr. Micky Dominick and Mark Norman. Both believed that they had the right perso to create something truly special.

MUSICAL NUMBERS The La Salle musical this year was "Singin' in the Rain". Origally a hit movie starring Gene Kelly, this was the first time La 11ledecided to put the production on stage. It was Colleen urkin Lapowski's twentieth and firtal production at La Salle.

1e cast and crew worked hard to ensure she will remember her st show for the rest of her years.

Rehearsals began in early January, and it was a fast three .onths of dedication from everybody involved. Choral Direc,r Mark Norman was in charge of the vocal rehearsals. Mr. ,seph Vettori assisted in directing the pit band, conducted by nior Julian Tucker. Kim Williams, once again, was the dance 1oreographer.

The story follows a film company that is in jeopardy as silent .ctures shift into talking pictures. Brian McGinley plays Don )ckwood, the head actor of the studio. Along with his buddy osmo Brown (Matt Dwyer), owner R.F. Simpson (Kyle

Scheetz), agent Rod Dexter (Tim Lapowski), and director Roscoe Dexter (Dean Buonomo), they have to deal with their nasty lead actress named Lina Lamont (Catherine Begley, MSJA), w hose speaking voice does not transfer well to the talking pictures. Their only hope remains with a charming girl named Kathy Seldon (Kim Whitehill), who must dub in her voice for Lina's dialogue .

The show was a huge success. As usual the dancing was phenomenal, with numbers like "Moses Supposes" and "Broadway Melody" played as the big hits. There were some impressive visual effects to create the rain on stage. Ultimately, the incredible mix of young talent within the cast, crew, and staff led to the show's remarkable run. Colleen's twenty year career definitely went out with a bang, and the La Salle theater will surely miss a great director who put her heart and soul into every production.

The season started out with a very tough non-league schedule and the team did very well against some of the top programs in the area. In addition, they beat one of the top teams in Florida, La Salle-Miami . These tough non-league games were scheduled to get the team prepared for the grueling Catholic League North. The grueling nature of the Northern division was quite evident this year.

The Explorers had ten of its twenty six games come down to one possession, with three of those games going into overtime . Some of the most memorable moments would include Joe Migliarese's game winning lay-up against Archbishop Ryan and Matt Crozier's last second shot to beat Archbishop Wood in overtime . Another one of the great moments from this season was the play-in game against Judge . The 6th man was in full effect and gave the Explorers the advantage before the tip-off.

The Explorers jumped to an early lead and never looked back. They led for most of the game and came out with a 54-46 victory.

La Salle had two players honored as AllCatholics, CJAiken as 2nd team and Matt Crozier as 1st team. Although the Explorers post season was abruptly halted by North Catholic, the team ended up with a very successful season in returning to the playoffs.

The season began in memory of 1st Lt. Travis Manion, a LaSalle wrestler from the class of 1999 who was killed serving his country in Iraq. La Salle's own tournament was renamed The Travis Manion Memorial Tournament, in his honor .

Going into this season the Explorers had a lot to live up to after winning the PCL Championship last season. The team was led by Senior Captains Matt Mooney and Mike Furlong, as well as Sophomore Captain CJBums.

The team began the year with a tough tournament schedule. In those tournaments, La Salle placed 5th at Nazareth, 4th at Penn Manor, 2nd at Hatboro-Horsham's Wetzel Tournament, 4th at the Devil Duals, 6th at Central Mountain Duals, and they won the Manion Memorial Tournament. A great moment of the year was when Matt Mooney won his lOOth varsity match during the Central Mountain Duals. At La Salle's own tournament the team placed 12 wrestlers including 3 champions: sophomore, Ryan Ginsburg; freshman Joe Mazzi; and senior, Mike Furlong.

As for dual meets, the team started with a big win over Conwell Egan, followed by a setback to rival Northeast Catholic, dropping a tight match 33-25. The Explorers went on to win the rest of their PCL matches.

The team entered the playoffs and defeated Archbishop Wood and Monsignor Bonner. Entering the championship, the team had high expectations, but lost to North Catholic, 29-20.

La Salle then entered the individual tournaments starting with PCLindividuals. Here, the Explorers placed 2nd, behind North Catholic, with 3 PCL Champions in Mazzi, Mooney, and Ginsburg. Next for the Explorers was the PA individual state tournament, where LaSalle placed 4th as a team. Here, the team had 10 place-winners, including 8 national qualifiers.

At National Preps the team did very well.

Six of the seven wrestlers who competed won matches in a tough field of competitors. As a team, the Explorers took 17th in the Nation, with two All-Americans, Matt Mooney (7th place) and Joey Mazzi (4th place).

As always La Salle's hockey program provided 3 highly competitive teams to compete against many of the top high school teams in the area. These 3 teams competed at 3 different levels, including JVAA, Varsity AA, and Varsity AAA. The hockey program will graduate 13 sen iors this year, all of whom played for a team all 4 years. Of these 13 seniors, 4 play for the Varsity AAA team including: Adam Berkie, TJ Laessig, Dan Pyne, and Kyle Zoldy . Mike Roche, Mike Rongione, Brad Hollingsworth, Frank Cassidy, Collin Miller, and Christian Baron are the seniors from the Varsity AA team, while Mike Fabiszewski, Tony DePaul, and Nick Pederson are the graduating seniors from the JVAA team.

The JVAA team posted an impressive 19-2 record throughout the 2007-2008 season.

While maintaining this record the team competed hard all season and captured the #1 seed in their league .

After suffering a rough start, the Varsity AA team battled back and finished with a 13-7-2 record . The AA team completed their season with a dominant 8-1 win over a talented Malvern team and took 9th place in their league.

After suffering a disappointing playoff loss last season, the AAA team returned with the core of the team, as well as a few new players in order to make a run at yet another Flyers' Cup .

The team opened their season with big wins over rival schools, such as St. Mary's, The Hill School, and Wyoming Seminary. The day after Christmas the team looked to add to their success by winning the Mt. Saint Charles Tournament. The team defeated the top teams in the New England area and took home the 1st place trophy. Along with this accomplishment, the team also captured its 2nd consecutive Meadville Championship at another tournament in Meadville, PA. The AAA team finished the season with an impressive 26-1-2 record and headed into the playoffs with the #1 seed. They hope to continue their success with a Flyers' Cup Championship and hopefully, a state championship.

w: Beau Whitman 1st in pole vault

In preparing for the 2008 Indoor Track and Field season coaches Pat Devine and Greg Bielecki, along with Tom Devlin and Matt Derrick had high hopes for a successful year. After a number of strong showings by key runners early in the season, the coaches were quickly assured that a sensational season was in the near future.

The underclassmen were key contributors to the team. Freshman Beau Whitman was the PCL Pole Vault Champion. Stand out sophomores Tom O'Kane, Nick Molloy, and James Stevenson helped pace the squad and assure the coaching staff that the future is indeed bright. The juniors, led by future captains Pat Donnelly, Sean McCullough, and Bobby Long, as well as long jumper Ryan Patrick, were intricate parts of a team that came together at PCL Championships to put together solid third place finish.

Certainly senior leadership was the motivation behind this team. The Class of 2008 returned four First Team All-Catholic athletes: Dan Lowry (2008 PCL Mile and 3,000 meter champion), Greg Barksdale (2008 PCL High Jump Champion), Steve Dolan, and Brian Ledder. These four athletes along with 2008 Honorable Mention All-Catholic Hurdlers, Mark Franzen and Andrew Dowds, 2008 AllCatholic in the Shot Put Tom Barr, Chris Fasy, and Tom Buoncristiano were major contributors to a successful team . The highlight of the season came from the Distance Medley Relay consisting of Pat Donnelly, Anthony Kent, Brian Ledder, and Dan Lowry. The DMR ran a record time at the Pennsylvania State Indoor Championship Meet on March 1, 2008. All four were First Team All-State and their time of 10:15.89 was the fastest time in the United States in 2008. The DMR ran the third fastest high school time ever in the United States. The 2008 indoor season certainly closed on a good note, with a definite sense of accomplishment.

Over the past twenty years not much has changed for La Salle's swimming program. The team, led by Head Coach Frank Lichtner and Assistant Coaches, Dennis Bloh, Steve Duncheskie, Jim Tate, and Kevin Rieffel, captured its 20th consecutive Catholic League Championship in early March of 2008. This victory came after well-deserved accomplishments at the National Catholics (3rd place) and Eastern Interscholastic Championships (2nd place).

At the start of the season, the swim team was reminded of the history and tradition that the coaches challenged the team to keep alive.

From the start of the four-month season, the coaches saw something special in this year's team. Their heart and teamwork was alive inside and outside of the pool, as the team practiced hard and took on new obstacles in community service. In December, the team purchased, wrapped, and delivered gifts to a poor Albanian family in Kensington. This season was truly a ground-breaking one for La Salle Swimming.

Captains JJHouldin, Todd Domanski, and Greg Woods succeeded in leading the team by example; as lap times began to drop, a sense of teamwork and friendship was established. As the year progressed, La Salle was undefeated in dual meets and headed into its final appearance at the Eastern Interscholastic Championships. Junior Ted Walker had a pair of top-6 individual finishes and Blase Szyszko placed 3rd in the 100 breaststroke. Blase went on to break both the school and league records in the breaststroke, while James Mahoney won an inspirational race at the PCL Championships.

The seniors especially are very thankful for Coach Lichtner and his ability to better the team not only as swimmers, but as individuals. GOOD LUCK to next year's team, who will move onto the PIAA and new competition!

And remember, "You don't have to feel good to swim fast" ... Coach Frank Lichtner.

This year the bowling team was ready to start bowling and play the other teams when the month of November came. The team was set with four returning Varsity players and one new edition: seniors, John Fischer, Kelvin Lam, Anthony Liberato, Dan Erhardt; and Junior Jimmy Robinson. The first half of the season was slow with not too many wins, and after the holidays, tragedy struck when Robinson transferred. His spot was filled by another senior, Chris Johnson, who had vastly improved since the previous years. He stepped up and bowled like a champ, never giving up . However, the team was not able to hold up against some of the other teams in the PCL which had many more consistent players who frequently shot above 200. Even though the team did not consistently win, it still put up a valiant effort and showed that it could compete with the best of the best in the league.

Other seniors on the team were Jason Raschiatore, Jonathan Weidner, and JohnMichael Dronson, all of whom rose to the occasion when they were needed to fill in for varsity and bowled well in their JVmatches.

Overall, the year was a success even though the team did not make it to the playoffs . Everyone on the team improved. The team won some games, and came close to winning oth ers, but everyone had fun which was the most important thing.

In the end this season was encouraging for the future leaders of the team to carry on the name and bring home wins. Even with the senior leaders departing for college, those in line to fill their spots are ready for the chance to prove themselves and do what it takes to get things done.

The La Salle Explorers are approaching this outdoor track and field season with the intention of winning the PCL championship . Coming off of their fantastic indoor season, things are looking good for the team. The Distance Medley Relay team that consisted of Anthony Kent, Brian Ledder, Dan Lowry, and Pat Donnelly set not only a new school record by 12 seconds, but also a new state record. The DMR was also ranked number one in the nation. The DMR is a glimpse at the dominance that La Salle is developing in the distance events on and off the track. The team also has some fantastic potential in some of its underclassmen athletes, such as Beau Whitman who won the PCL indoor championship as a freshman.

Sophomore Dylan Gavin also shows great potential in both the shot put and the discus.

Field seniors Greg Barksdale and Tom Barr are also displaying strength in their respective events. Greg, in the high jump, won the PCL championships and ended the season with a personal record of 6'6", which tied La Salle's indoor record . Tom Barr had a good indoor season placing 5th in the state in shot put, with a personal record of 53'8.25". Along with these leaders, the Explorers have many new promising prospects for the new season that will aid the team on its journey towards a PCL championship. These are just of few of the key elements that will add up to a successful outdoor season for the outdoor track and field team, and they are working towards achieving their goals .

The La Salle Rowing Team entered the fall season under new leadership . Coach Chris Doyle took the helm as the team's new head coach for the 2007-2008 year. With years of rowing under his belt and his winning attitude, he is ready to prepare the team for the upcoming seasons.

The Explorers' successes in the fall quickly filtered into the dreaded, but beneficial winter training . With a precisely designed work plan, the winter produced the results needed . However, just when everything was going as planned and we were ready to head into the spring season, we received word that our boathouse had been condemned. We wondered if we would even be able to row again, but Coach Doyle worked tirelessly to find a solution. Before we knew it, Coach Doyle had us cleaning out the old boathouse and moving to our new rowing sanctuary at the Whitemarsh Boat Club . We have been warmly welcomed at our new residence, thanks to the help of our coaches, alumni, and Whitemarsh Boat Club staff.

The past few years have been times of rebuilding and this year we hope to put in the final touches . With success in the fall and boatshaking erg times, this year looks to be one of the best teams in years , from the freshmen to the seniors. Most importantly, our past struggles in the Varsity 8 look to be put to a stop this year. During our training we have brought out the motto, "La Salle Crew ... Fearless" and it has been going according to plan. Hopefully, the hard work and determination will translate into much success.

Coming off of a spectacular PCL Championship last spring, the tennis team was highly motivated to bring another Catholic League Tennis Title back to La Salle. Tennis at La Salle has always been successful, and starting off this year, we were very excited to carry on this tradition as well as the tradition of excellence within La Salle.

The team was destined to have another great spring with seven returning players from last year's Varsity squad. Led by seniors Mike Oliver, Nate Meyers, and Kyle Scheetz, this year's team has been filled with pure enthusiasm. While it is full of experience with other veteran standouts including juniors John Austin Lamprecht and Ryan Marcante, as well as seniors Ryan White, Anthony Witkowski, and Matt Illari, there was a lot of talent from new contributors including seniors Brad Hollingsworth, Mike Collinelli, Kyle Dufresne, Sean Moffa, and Brian McGinly, as well as juniors Bob Law, Joe Smart, and Brian Bonder. It is truly because of the team we had that this season will be remembered forever!

Led by veteran coaches, Mr. Bill Geiger and Mr. Joseph Radvansky, the team was ready for another challenge and sure hoped to deliver .

After playing well in preseason the team looked anxiously to upcoming matches, especially St. Joe's Prep, who we defeated in last year's championship. It is true that, "Individuals win matches, but teams win championships!", and I am proud to say that the men on the tennis squad this year were a team! We were truly prepared to face any challenge.

The 2008 Varsity Baseball Team is an experienced squad. The team is returning seven starters from last year's team, including five position players and two pitchers. With new additions and seasoned veterans, the Explorers hope to make a run for the 2008 Catholic League title.

The Explorers' offense should be productive this season. The team will be able to manufacture runs from many different spots in the lineup. Seniors Frank Pierson, Jeff Murtha, Matt Abel, Andrew Wood, Mike Higgins, and Jason Raschiatore will provide offensive leadership for the team . Juniors Tyler Freeman, Kevin Johnson, and Kevin Kelley, along with sophomore Joe Harvey, look to follow the lead of the seniors, producing wins .

The pitching this season is once again anchored by lefties, Matt Day and Shawn O'Neil .

Both are crafty pitchers who throw strikes and dominate hitters. Other pitchers that will see time in relief are juniors John Bernhardt and Jeff Schill. Senior Joe Corcoran and sophomore Joe Harvey will also be getting the call to throw for the team.

The defense this year is very solid. Expect to see Andrew Wood, Frank Pierson, Tyler Freeman and Mike Higgins making plays in the infield; with Matt Abel, and Jeff Murtha leading the outfield . Kevin Kelley, Kevin Johnson and Joe Aloia will also be seen patrolling the outfield.

The Explorers expect to have a great season.

The team has a strong offense, great pitching, and solid defense. With coaches and players devoted to working hard, the Explorers look to compete for the Catholic League Championship.

After falling short in the Eastern Pennsylvania State Championship last year, the 2008 La Salle lacrosse team will look to redeem themselves this year by sealing the deal this season.

Although the Explorers lost a strong senior class to graduation, they will still have the talent to take this team far in the playoffs. With the strong leadership of coaches Bill Leahy and Tony Resch, this team could be holding up a state championship trophy at the end of the season. Juniors Pete Schwartz, Randy Forster, and Westy Hopkins will lead what looks to be a strong attack unit this year. The attack will have the support of a talented and athletic midfield comprised of seniors Conrad Ridgway, Matt Lynch, and Patty Sinnott along with juniors Derek Bogorowski, Ryan Eidenshink, and Gordy Wells. Together, the Explorers attack and midfield units will form an offense which should have no trouble putting the ball in the back of the net. Returning, starting goalie Niko Amato will anchor a defense that will make it extremely difficult for opposing teams to score this year. Senior Eric Heisner and juniors Tyler Knarr, Tucker Durkin, Mike Noone, and Tyler Houchins will make up this intimidating group of defenders.The Explorers are a promising team that looks to have a great season ahead of them. La Salle Lacrosse should be fun to watch as the team works hard toward winning both the PCL and State Championships this year.
