Deit ch Named Recipient of SJU's Ignat ius Award

By Liam Scot t ?17 Since 1991, Saint Joseph's University has given the highly esteemed Ignatius Award to recognize a graduate, within the last 20 years, who has dedicated his or her life to service.

There is one particular SJU alumnus whose dedication to service materializes itself in his genuine care for students and their spiritual quests to find God and serve others, right here at the Prep.

Mr. Samuel Deitch, SJU ?97, will be the 26th recipient of the Ignatius Award from the Saint Joseph?s University Alumni Association.

Tennis Team Eyes PCL Success

By Aidan O?Connor ?17 One of the (tragically many) unheralded sports teams at the Prep is the tennis team, coached by Mr. Mark Kravetz, a talented mathematics teacher here at the Prep.

The tennis squad (with 13 varsity and

17 JV players) has been growing in the past few years.

This year?s varsity is a veteran team; the entire starting lineup from last year has returned, and is ready to build on last year?s successes. ?They are hungry for a title... My goal

and the goal of the team is the same every year. And that is to win the PCL Championship,? says player John Slota ?16.

After the Prep has claimed second place eight times in the last ten years to La Salle, this year?s team is ready to

win. ?The members of the team have to want to win for each other and come together as a team? wanting to sacrifice and win for their fellow teammates,? says Kravetz.

?Dedicated to fostering faith, action and works of social justice among young Catholics, Deitch delivers theoretical and practical understanding of Ignatian principles to his students every day,? states the University?s Press Release.

Since Deitch began at the Prep in 2004, he has proven his commitment to Jesuit ideology by

assisting students in finding it.

However, long before he started working for the Prep, he was doing the exact same thing.

As a college student, Deitch was ?incredibly engaged? in Campus Ministry life, according Mr. and Mrs. Scott (parents of the author), who worked in the Ministry office at SJU when Deitch was a student. ?He worked in the Faith-Justice Institute, taking charge of justice activities within the school. He participated in the Appalachian Experience, and he was overall a hugely important presence in the office as a student,? says Mr. Martin Scott.

After college, he immediately joined the Jesuit Volunteer Corps and began his four-year journey with the Community Service Corps within the Archdiocese of Philadelphia.

In 2002, Deitch returned to SJU and served as the Director of Continued on page 2.

By Daniel O?Connel l ?19 An unknown author once said, ?Diversity is the one true thing we have in common.

Celebrate it everyday.?

One club at the Prep has decided to take these words and live by them.

The Black and Latino Culture Club, or BLCC for short, has made racial tolerance a goal in the Prep community.

Although it often seems that there are constant issues and problems of racial discrimination around the world, the club uses these as opportunities to learn the origins of these problems, and to discuss what feasible options to

African-American or Latino-American race.

The club is open to all and is the perfect place to learn and ask questions about the different cultures.

The meetings are somewhat unorthodox, beginning with a topic of discussion.

There have been many Caucasian leaders of the club, along with members of all different races.

Usually, this topic is some sort of issue that has happened at the Prep, which can spark some healthy argument and dispute about why this happened and what can be done to prevent it from happening again.

He said that the club is not intended? even if perceived to be? only for students of the

struggling with hardships in their life. Sykes described the club as ?willing to listen, open and diverse,? when identifying the best things about the club.

Many students have a complete misconception about this club, which causes them to dismiss the idea of joining because

they assume that this club is meant only for people of certain races.

The club continues to expand and is welcome to all.

There is always an opportunity to join, and, if there are any doubts, new members are always encouraged.

However, that only scratches the surface of Deitch?s life of service.

For instance, he was an instrumental member of the team when Operation Santa Claus was in its heyday, as a function of the Archdiocese as a whole and providing toys to over 600 families. ?All the toys would go to a central location in

Center City, and Sam would coordinate the wrapping center.

Students from all of the Catholic high schools, hundreds a day, would come and wrap,? recollects Fr. Tom Higgins, pastor of Holy Innocents Parish and friend of Deitch.

Deitch will join other names notable both to the city and to the Prep, such as Prep board member Fr. Joyce, SJ, as well as Prep parents Mr. Martin Farrell and Mr. Dan Hilferty, among many others.

?It?s humbling, it?s unbelievable, and That is no small for me it?s really a undertaking. testament to all of ?He was great.

?My colleagues, those I met at service sites, all these people really influence me and allow me to be what I want to be and do what I want

The award reception will take place on Thursday, April 28, at 6:00 p.m. at the

The Prep will be pairing up with Central, a public league team, to take on the West.

One last step that Kravetz is taking to improve the team as a whole is to start building up the JV team.

In addition to the competition, the Prep team will introduce the students from Pittsburgh to the City of Brotherly Love. This will include a tour of various eateries in the city, as well as a 76ers game.

The whole event will culminate in the trip for both teams to the Philadelphia Flyers

By working to improve these players, and making sure they get ample playing time each season, he is ensuring the team?s continued success.

This year, the JV team is coached by Mr. Dan Sulvetta ?11, a member of the Alumni Service Corp.

By Jacob DeAnnunt is ?19 From March 17 to April 4, college basketball fans, as well as sports fans in general, have been glued to televisions, laptops, and phones, with March Madness on their mind.

For many sports fans, the NCAA Division I Men?s Basketball Tournament is considered to be one of the most entertaining sporting events of the year.

This year?s tournament featured 64 top basketball teams competing in a single-elimination tournament held across various cities throughout the country.

Kicking off March 17 and 18 with all sixty-four teams, the tournament slimmed down each weekend, until the South Region's No. 2 Villanova Wildcats, the West Region's No. 2 Oklahoma Sooners, the East Region's No. 1 UNC Tar Heels, and the Midwest Region's No. 10 Syracuse Orange were left to battle for the title in Houston, Texas.

since 2001.

This year alone, ESPN received around 13 million brackets.

The games were played in the Wells Fargo Center, home of the 76ers and the Flyers, on Friday, March 25, and Sunday, March 27.

These games have a huge draw not only from the people sitting at home, but also from those who go to the game.

Every time the tournament comes to Philadelphia, it is hosted by a Big 5 school. This year?s host is La Salle University.

The first and seconds rounds of the tournament were played across eight different venues.

These venues were chosen by a committee that has predetermined the destinations through 2018.

The regional rounds, called the Sweet Sixteen and Elite Eight, were held in four different cities this year: Anaheim, California; Louisville, Kentucky; Chicago, Illinois; and Philadelphia.

This has been great news to basketball fans in the Philadelphia area.

This year marks the 28th time the tournament has come here, but it will be the the first time it has hosted the regional round

and noise, and fatigue.

Your brain is the control center of your whole body; every body part, movement, thought, and word spoken are controlled by the brain.

A concussion is not the worst thing in the world, but what about repeat cases?

Therefore, keeping it safe and avoiding damage are important.

However, concussions, which can be defined as a traumatic brain injury that alters brain functions (per the Mayo Clinic), affect roughly 1.6-3.8 million people in the United States annually. High school students alone account for almost 300 thousand of those cases.

Concussions are not necessarily severe, for the most part.

Symptoms include headaches, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, sensitivity to light

Almost 11 percent of high school students who have suffered a concussion reveal that they suffer from another one.

Not surprisingly, the sport that reports the most identified cases of concussions in the United States is football.

Repeated tackles, some helmet-to-helmet, can lead not only to concussions, but to repeated concussions.

The National Football League has recently been under fire for an increasing amount of concussions this past season, and for ex-players?claim that they suffered brain damage from repeated concussions that resulted from a multitude of hits

over their careers. ?Getting your bell rung? can have a negative impact on brain functions.

Recent studies have shown a correlation between NFL players who report multiple concussions and the development of Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE).

This condition spurs the degeneration of brain tissue, which can result in memory loss, depression, and dementia, among other symptoms.

CTE has affected several NFL players, such as former Philadelphia Eagles defensive back Andre Waters, who committed suicide in 2006 at age 44.

After an autopsy had been completed, his brain tissue was found to resemble that of an 85-year-old

Alzheimer's patient.

Not so irrelevent anymore, right?

CTE is certainly no joke, and the NFL is beginning to take notice? to some degree.

NFL officials do acknowledge that the number of reported cases of concussions has risen from 206 in 2014 to 271 in 2015. And the NFL has started a $1 billion initiative to address concussion claims.

The Fl yers At t empt t o Make a Pl ayof f Push

By Joe Pisacano ?16 The City of Philadelphia has not had one of its four major sports teams that has qualified for the postseason since the Philadelphia Flyers did in 2014, and the city has not experienced a playoff win since the Philadelphia 76ers defeated the Chicago Bulls in the First Round of the 2012 NBA Playoffs.

It has been four years since

Philadelphia has had any pro team to cheer for.

However, that could easily change within the next few months.

The Flyers are currently fighting with the Detroit Red Wings and the Pittsburgh Penguins for the final playoff spot, and have recently been playing their best hockey of the entire season.

The players credit new coach Dave

Hakstol for a lot of their recent success, especially some of the lesser known players on the team.

Ryan White has been a key member of the team?s fourth line all year alongside Pierre Edouard-Bellemare and Chris Vandevelde. Their job as fourth liners is not so much to score, but rather to establish a strong forecheck and keep the puck in the offensive zone in

order to tire out the opposition and prevent them from scoring. ?[Hakstol] put a lot of confidence in us early,? says White. ?He kept us together all year, which, for the way we play it?s nice to know where guys are. You can really read off of each other every night.

Just staying with each other all year and having the confidence of the coach to go out there and do the

right things and know you?re going to get rewarded, it?s a pretty easy thing to do.?

Having confidence in his checking line, despite their lack of scoring, shows that Hakstol trusts his top lines to make up the difference, without losing the physicality that every hockey team needs.

Another ideal that Hakstol has

brought to this year?s Flyers team is the idea of having dynamic offensive-style defensemen.

No longer will the defensemen wait at the blue line for the puck to be passed to them.

Hakstol?s offensive system requires that the defensemen be able to step up into the play when there is a loose puck near the top Continue on page 6.

Having defensemen that play an aggressive style has allowed the team to have extended cycles of play in the offensive zone.

No one has been able to capitalize on this style better than the ever electric rookie sensation Shayne Gostisbehere.

Our school is comprised of students from different states, different areas, different counties, different socioeconomic backgrounds, and different ethnicities.

Unlike other similar high schools, like La Salle and Roman, our students do not primarily come from one area or group of people.

Here, we have students from New Jersey, the Main Line, South Philadelphia, North Philadelphia, West Philadelphia, Roxborough, the suburbs, and even more.

This is why I truly believe that the Prep in no way needs this diversity course because we are, in fact, a symbol of diversity.

Debat e (Cont 'd) States, with perhaps a few pages here and there outlining the history of people outside Western civilization.

There are valid perspectives that might counter the necessity for a required diversity course.

For example, one could argue that traditionally being a minority doesn?t merit special attention.

One could go further to say that, because the Prep strives to be accepting and countercultural, its students are immune to types of bigotry and prejudice that afflicts our society.

multiple occasions during my Prep career, there have been incidents within the walls of the Prep involving unfortunate uses of language that prove discrimination is still able to infiltrate the Prep community.

The regrettable truth is that, for every one of these incidents involving outright hatred, there could be any number of Prep students who feel the same way but have decided to not speak their mind for some reason.

There is no telling whether a required diversity course will change the way an entire population of I wish that I could people think. affirm this I am simply statement. writing from my Unfortunately, on own personal

Contrary to the title of the course, it provides more than just the study of books written by African Americans.

As a class, we examine literature as well as other forms of art, and discuss their implications and cultural significance.

I can wholeheartedly say that the class has been an enriching experience that I hope any student to benefit, and a larger class size could provide an open discussion on race equality in our country.
