Prayers for the repose of the soul of Father Cilinski’s mother

Here’s the short version:

  • In 1997, Seton boys appeared in the VIS Division II tournament for the first time.  We hosted Alliance Christian in the first round; moved on down to Tidewater in the quarterfinals and upset; and lost in the Semifinals to Holy Cross.
  • In 1998, Seton got bumped to Division I in the first round vs. Episcopal (who went on to win the tournament).
  • In 1999, Seton played Cape Henry in the quarterfinals at Richard Bland College and lost.  (Anyone remember a first round game?  Or remember why there wasn’t one?)
  • In 2000, Seton was ranked #2 in the State.  We had a bye in the first round, hosted Virginia Episcopal School, then played Walsingham in the Semifinals, and then played Roanoke Catholic in the finals.  Roanoke Catholic came back from behind to win that game.

A little walk down Boys’ VIS History lane…

Barbara Fogelberg Skane (’83) teaches at St. John Francis Regis School in Hollywood, Maryland.  After the record breaking snowfall, the section of the school built in 1953 collapsed.  (The part built in 1924 survived.)  The school had to be relocated to Holy Angels-Sacred Heart School in Avenue, MD, which closed last year and is 18 miles away.  Amazingly, the school was able to reopen 16 days after the collapse because of many parent volunteers and the support of Bishop Wuerl.  The neighborhood is glad to have school children back.  Donations of school supplies and money continue to pour in, and Barbara reports that the students have adjusted well.

   Barbara has been teaching since she graduated from Christendom in 1987 and was recently awarded the Golden Apple Award which Archbishop Wuerl established.  The recipients had to be Maryland state certified, hold a master’s degree and be certified catechists.  Barbara was nominated by a parent of a first grade student she taught.  She had to complete an eight page application and write a 500 word essay.  She received the award including $5000 at a gala at the Renaissance Hotel in Washington, DC.  She was one of ten recipients from the Archdiocese of Washington.

  Barbara enrolled at Seton in the fall of 1979 and was the co-salutatorian with Jamie Sexton.  (Matt Gelis was valedictorian.)  Her niece and nephew (Jessica and Matthew Triggs, children of Debbie) attend Seton now.

WAY TO GO VARSITY BOYS!! The final score doesn’t show how tight this game was.  The halftime score was Seton 20-FCS 23.  Neil Blanchard put on a 3-point show and was high scorer with 19 points.  Many players contributed free throws to keep Seton’s lead at the end of the game.  Go see Coach VW’s site  for a little photo-op.  Many thanks to all the Seton alumni, friends, and students who came out to the game!! Come back tonight to see the DAC final vs. HIGHLAND at HIGHLAND at 7 pm.

Jameson Hill ’10, Seton’s All-American swimmer, has made many headlines for his many impressive accomplishments!  Our Seton wants to steer friends and alumni to two significant posts, so you can catch a glimpse of the swimmer who walks Seton’s halls.

  • The Manassas Journal Messenger did a huge spread on him.  This link includes not only the article, but also a video interview with Jameson.  Note: make sure to click the link of the slide show of pictures (entitled “A Life Aquatic”) that were featured in the spread.
  • Jameson also was on video at the Washington Post with several other All Met Swimmers.  His interview is at the 6:00 minute mark.

Congratulations Jameson and good luck in your future endeavors at the University of Georgia!!
