Although the New Orleans Saints were not playing in the Superdome on Sunday, September 10, there was going to be plenty of football action for the Brother Martin community. Members of the Brothers of the Sacred Heart Alumni Association and guests participated in the annual Alumni Flag Football Tournament that was held on Farley Field. This was the fourth year for the tournament. Director of Alumni Scott Corrente ’83, Jimmy Gatti, and David Pecot ‘76 coordinated this year’s event. Steve Lahare ’74 served as the head official with fellow alumni and non- alumni officials.
In addition, on this beautiful morning the teams were able to visit their alma mater, to enjoy the camaraderie between friends, and to play some flag football. In particular, team “Pure Bred,” had an even better day, for they took home the coveted title after defeating “Tight End Reinstated.” Last year, “Pure Bred” lost in the championship game by a score of 19-6.
Team Captain John Buckman ’06 commented that “it was a great feeling to finally lift the trophy after finishing in second place three years in a row. We look forward to playing in the Flag Football Tournament every year. It’s always a good time playing a few games and then enjoying the great food at the Cook -Off Challenge. Thank you to Coaches Corrente and Gatti, Lahare and all of the other officials for their hard work in putting this awesome event together. We can’t wait to get back on the field next year and defend the title.”
After the round robin competition had finished, the players gathered together for photos on the field. Then, the teams and their guests walked across the street to partake in the festivities at the Crusader Cook-Off & Tailgate Challenge. Thank you to all our participants for another great event!
To sum up the experience, team official David Pecot ’76 stated that “volunteering for the Alumni Flag Football Tournament is always a fun time! I see alumni and non-alumni having a competitive time playing, but showing the true Brother Martin spirit. Everyone needs to come check out this event! ”
