NORPHANS FOR LIFE (NFL)
Posted: Friday, February 17, 2012 at 21:00
NFL –Norphons for Life
Unlike most other schools in general and the Archdiocese specifically, North continues to breathe life into the neighborhoods by supporting Catholic education, especially of those boys who were unceremonially orphaned by the Archdiocesan decision to close North three years ago. Most people forget that there are still hundreds of boys remaining in Archdiocesan high schools scattered throughout the city.
On Saturday, July 28th, the NFL will host a reunion of sorts of Men of North to help remember North and to also help support these Norphons. The spot of this inaugural event is Keenan’s in North Wildwood. The party will be from 3 PM till 7 PM. No more worries of your car being towed or DUI from driving between the Wildwood communities.
Tickets are $25 in advance or $30 at the door. This cost gets you food, bottle beer and plenty of commemorative North gear for sale.
For your entertainment, NFL and Keenan’s present the Soul Cruisers. The band will begin pumping out music at 7 PM.
All proceeds go to support our boys that remain in Archdiocesan high schools.
Thanks Joe, thanks Vince.
Never Forget, Never Forgive.
Fablio!

FALCON SUCCESS 2011 CONTINUES
Posted: Thursday, November 17, 2011 at 19:33
FALCONS FLYING THIS HOLIDAY SEASON
As we wade through that ocean of emotion that is North Catholic Soccer this holiday season, we take comfort and pride in the recent accomplishments and milestones of our soccer alumni.
On Tuesday evening, Wendell "Steve" Beres '00, former All-Catholic and Catholic League Champ at NC, completed his third season as head coach at Council Rock North. The Indians made it to the semi-finals of the state tournament before succumbing to No. 1-ranked Conestoga in Pks. Assisted by long- time North coach Tom Crossett, Rock won their division in regular season play. Beres is employed by the U.S. government at the Naval Depot and is the father of two young girls with one on the way. He and his wife Kate reside in Montgomeryville.
Congratulations to Pat Farrell '71, head coach of LaSalle University soccer, on guiding the Explorers to the semi-finals of the A-10 tounament. Future Hall of Famer goalkeeper John McCarthy patrolled the box for Coach Farrell. McCarthy leads the nation in two categories for LaSalle. Sophomore Nicky Stangler of Gwynedd-Mercy attained all-conference honors.
An overflow crowd filled Shissler Rec/Newt's Field on Saturday, Nov. 5 to witness the greatest scholastic stars in Philadelphia history as the North Catholic Soccer Alumni game returned to its roots in Fishtown. No less than ten Hall of Famers were in attendance as a spirited touch game played out in front of an enthusiastic audience. Following the game the Falcon booters visited the Starboard Side Tavern at Gaul and Norris where local Fishtown men Jerry Franklin, Half Moon McKnight and Dennis Maguire hosted an evening of fun, fellowship and soft drinks. Pictures of the epic event are on Dave Rotan's Facebook page, and we thank him for his most talented effort on our behalf.
Congratulations are in order for North Catholic greats Steve Wacker, Steve Pio, Kevin Olinger, and Joey Rudolph on the births of their first children (that we know of). Hall of Famer Pat Morris will once again put on the boots in the MISL. Congrats also to Tony Rod Jr. on his nuptuals to Mel. (that's a wedding)
On behalf of North Catholic Soccer, Happy Thanksgiving to all and we'll see you at the football ga.....oh, no I guess we won't. Thanks Vince, thanks Joe!
NEVER FORGET, NEVER FORGIVE.
