#GiveBrotherMartin With the help of over 400 donors, our Brother Martin community of current and past parents, grandparents, alumni, faculty, staff, students, friends and donors raised over $65,506 in just 24 hours! The funds raised for our first #GiveBrotherMartin day went to the Brother Martin Fund. Why the Brother Martin Fund? The Brother Martin Fund allows our school to facilitate reasonable tuition for all families, attract and retain quality faculty, continue to initiate advancements in technology, accommodate a low studentteacher ratio, maintain a clean and orderly environment and provide an expanded curriculum that offers electives consistent with many college majors. Throughout the #GiveBrotherMartin campaign, there was alumni and donor representation across the map with donations from Oregon, California, Hawaii, Colorado, Texas, Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois, Tennessee, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, New York, Connecticut and Massachusetts. Our class leader board was neck-and-neck the whole campaign, but the Class of 1997 came out with the most donors and most funds raised for an alumni class. The Classes of 2008 and 2002 placed second and third respectively. The Classes of 1984 and 1990 placed second and third respectively for the most funds raised. As we continue to build for the future, we thank you and we appreciate your support for our inaugural #GiveBrotherMartin campaign!

THREE CLASSMATES CANOE THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER Matthew Reineke ’14, Ben Hailey ’14 and Patrick Healy ’14 canoed the entire Mississippi River. They started their journey in the Headwaters of Itasca and paddled all the way to the Gulf. You can see their adventure on Instagram @RiverDudesNOLA. From casually kayaking in Bayou St. John to seriously canoeing the Mighty Mississippi, three alumni decided to have a summer they won’t repeat, but will never forget. Matthew Reineke ‘14, the mastermind of the operation, was inspired by working on the Creole Queen Paddleboat. One of the guides continued to repeat on his tours that you can still canoe down the entire Mississippi. This sparked him to convince his two friends, Ben Hailey ‘14 and Patrick Healy ’14, to jump on board. The first challenge of their trip was their parents, who initially told them no. After much persuasion, watching videos, and a test canoe trip in Arkansas, the boys were given the green light. For the trip, they purchased a 19 ft., two-man canoe and a 14 ft. kayak. They also had waterproof food storage, tents and sleeping bags, and a 20-gallon fresh water container. They started their journey in Itasca, Minnesota where the Mississippi River is a little wider than the canoe. The River then goes into large lakes that the boys would have to paddle across. Sometimes it would take them a whole day of paddling to get across the lakes. Just outside of Minneapolis, they were stopped by the sheriff department. When they told the officers what they were doing they did not believe them. On the trip, they would post to social media groups dedicated to people kayaking the Mississsippi RIver. Those groups gave them access to places to stay along the journey. After 8 weeks and 12 hours a day of paddling, the boys popped a bottle of champagne in the Gulf of Mexico. When asked about the things they missed on this trip, they responded with, “AC, no bugs, and beds without sand.” Matt, Ben, and Patrick agreed it was the best experience they ever had, but they are never doing it again.

on his backside as Loper raced past him to the end zone with 0:54 on the clock. The TD not only brought the Tigers within one point of the Crusaders but gave them a tenth first down to nine for Martin. With no provision for overtime, Coach Brown could kick the PAT to tie and hope his defense could keep the Crusaders from gaining another first down. But the problem with that strategy was that he had no kicker. All season long, the Tigers had gone for two. So that’s what he ordered. Surratt took the snap, faked to his right, then rolled left and made a beeline for the pylon. But MLB Farnet met him just inside the sideline at the one. An arm tackle might have allowed the runner to reach the ball over the goal. But Pete drove his shoulder into Surrat and, with the aid of several teammates who arrived a split second later, drove him sideways out of bounds to preserve the lead. Junior G Tim Oster fell on the onside kick to allow the Crusaders to run out the clock. The hard-earned 7-6 victory set up an all-Catholic-league AAAA final with St. Augustine, who had beaten Captain Shreve 6-0 that same evening at Gormley. After the rock ‘em sock ‘em 7-0 Crusader victory over the Purple Knights to end the regular season, fans had every right to expect another defensive struggle, especially the way the two teams had bottled up their North Louisiana opponents in the semis. But only half of that expectation came to pass before a crowd of 24,000 that filled the horseshoe in City Park. The tone was set by a defensive end on St. Aug’s first two possessions. Pete dropped a screen pass to Lation who sped 28y to the 48 where junior LB Henry Nuss made the tackle. Three plays later, facing 3rd-and-8, Pete faded to pass but was clobbered by all 5’9” 165 lbs of Mallerich for an 11y loss to force a punt. But a fumble recovery soon put the Knights back in business at their 48. Mallerich struck again on 3rd-and-9. Bordelon joined him to dump the QB onto the muddy turf 14y behind the line of scrimmage. Pete’s problems continued when Farnet intercepted a pass on the last play of the opening period to put the ball on the SA 23 after a face mask penalty. Mattingly surprised the defense with a first down pass to Riemer for 12. Then Treuting smashed up the middle to the 2. On the next snap, Steve followed FB

Marc Robert to pay dirt. 7-0 Brother Martin. In the final minutes of the half, Mattingly worked the clock masterfully during a scoring march that started at the BM 44. After one first down, the drive seemed to have stalled as the Crusaders lined up to punt on the SA 38. But a long count drew a defender offside to move the chains. With Treuting split wide right to spread the defense, the junior QB scampered 18y up the middle to the 15, where he called timeout as soon as he hit the ground to stop the clock with just one second left. Time enough for Brue to bang through a 32y Steve Treuting runs in FG to make it 10-0 at the break. state title game. Crusader pressure produced another turnover on the Big Purple’s second possession of Q3. Back to pass, Pete was blindsided by Bordelon, causing the ball to bloop to Brue on the SA 22. Four runs placed the pigskin on the 4 as the period ended. Treuting’s 3y run made it 17-0 after Darryl’s conversion. With the crimson defense in complete control, the outcome was no longer in doubt. Mattingly’s 4y TD run made the final score 23-0. St. Aug thus joined Kennedy as 1971 opponents who couldn’t score on Brother Martin in eight quarters. Coach Otis Washington, who would lead St. Aug to three state championships from 1975-79, said his team was “keyed too high” and “played lousy.” But he added, “You can’t take a thing away from this Brother Martin team. They took advantage of every mistake, like a good team should.” Coach Conlin spoke like a man who had the weight of the world lifted off his shoulders. “We didn’t do anything different from the first time we met. There’s no sense in changing when you’ve come this far on a successful season. It’s just a question of a team with everyone concerned doing their job.” After 47 years, which have seen five trips to the state semifinals plus one to the finals, Brother Martin is still waiting for its second state football title.
