Joe Ruiz class of 1968 Bobby Romeo class of 1973

Bobby was a leader. At first he seemed to be an angry leader, but I soon discovered that it wasn ’t anger but a strong desire for the team to achieve perfection. ” He went on to give an example, “On the day or two before the championship game, I cancelled practice. Bobby was beside himself. He thought that the team needed more practice. ”Matt finally convinced Bobby that the day off was needed. They went on to win the game.

In closing, Matt talked about a team play that they had nicknamed the “Donk” . Bobby would come off of a screen, receive a pass and lay the ball up for two. Towards the end of a critical game, Bobby called for the Donk. It worked as planned. In our conversation Matt said, “After Bobby scored on the lay up, he looked over at me and we both smiled. ” I could “hear ” Matt’ s smile in the tone of his voice. You could also hear the pride of having been part of a team who remembers it great victory and, who today, mourns the loss of a man who as a boy led that team to victory. Words from Steve Szymczak and Matt Hoar
