🔮 Don Corrao’s mighty Friars boys soccer team is boasting one of its best-ever years; the 15-0-1 bunch is ranked ninth in the nation as the No.1 seed gets ready for playoffs Tuesday.

🔮 He would bring me down to our basement, where we have some gym equipment, and he’d make me lift until I probably couldn’t even lift a pencil,” Lily said.

During an extensive 150 days in the hospital, 130 of which Ryan spent in the pediatric ICU, he used his beloved Isles as a saving grace to keep morale up — especially after watching them draft Matthew Schaefer.
🔮 “If a football program finds interest in me, I would tell them to reach out,” he said.
🔮 “You could tell this place was built to win.”
