Welcome
President
to Rockhurst High School. On behalf of the entire school community, I hope your visit is an enjoyable one. If you are at all familiar with high school athletics in Kansas City, you know that Rockhurst High School has had a wonderful tradition since its opening in 1914. Alumni and friends have tremendous pride for the level of competition that has taken place with so many schools from across the nation for 97 years. There is no doubt that this excellence will continue in the future as many more young men devote themselves to the betterment of mind, body and spirit. Rockhurst High School enjoys a marvelous amount of respect and support from the greater metropolitan area for its dedication to educating men of competence, conscience and compassion. These are qualities that the Society of Jesus holds very dear for students which truly lead them to become “men for others.” I am proud of our students who are nobly carrying on the Rockhurst High School tradition for the Greater Glory of God. Please join me in honoring both teams today with a healthy spirit of sportsmanship. Pray with me for them that they will perform to their God-given potential and be free from injury. You may also be assured of my prayers in the coming year for God’s blessings upon you and your family.
Sincerely yours,
Father Terrence Baum, SJ President

Vision Statement Rockhurst High School will be sought out and recognized for its ability to educate men-for-others. Rockhurst High School will, in the Jesuit tradition, foster lifelong friendships based on enduring principles and Ignatian values. It will be nationally and locally recognized as the best valueadded education because of its success in developing community leaders for an increasingly diverse world.
elcome to Rockhurst High School. I especially welcome our visitors and guests. Rockhurst has a strong tradition of excellence in athletics. I believe that our athletic program plays an important role in our goal of educating young men, in the Jesuit tradition, to be Christian leaders. Athletic competition provides a means for our students to identify and develop their God-given talents. Participation in our athletic program teaches our student athletes to work hard, become part of something greater than themselves, practice good sportsmanship, and deal with success and disappointment. Being part of a team and working together creates enduring memories of life at Rockhurst; these memories will last a life time. I offer my sincere thanks to Mr. Michael Dierks, Athletic Director, his assistant, Mr. Brian Bruce, and to the coaches, managers, trainers, team physicians, parent volunteers, and statisticians. Our superb program would not be possible without the tireless dedication of these individuals. I am also grateful to Coach Dierks and graduate Curran Steck for their tremendous effort in publishing this year’s edition of the All Sports Program. As an alumnus of the class of 1981, many of my memories of life at Rockhurst are of joining my classmates as we cheered for the Hawklets. I look forward to, once again, cheering on the Hawklets with students, parents, friends, alumni, past parents, and fans of Rockhurst. Thank you for your dedication to Rockhurst High School. Best wishes,
Greg Harkness Principal
Class of 1981

athletic department Sportsmanship It is the desire of Rockhurst High School that good sportsmanship be practiced by students, players, coaches and fans.
Paul McGannon Athletic Trainer
M
r. Paul McGannon brings 29 years of experience and now has joined the Rockhurst faculty and staff full-time. Previously he was at Sports Rehab doing athletic training coverage and as part owner of the company. A graduate of the Rock (`72) Paul went on to earn his BA at Rockhurst University and his MA in Science Athletic Training from Central Missouri University. His biggest sports influence was being part of the 1985 World Champion KC Royals. An avid hockey fan, Mr. McGannon is a part of NHL21 Civic Group, which attempts to bring NHL games and ultimately an NHL franchise to Kansas City. Mr. McGannon and his wife have three sons: PT, Brian and Kevin.
Acts such as throwing items on the playing surface, participation in vulgar cheers, participation in cheers against referees, etc., will be considered offensive to RHS as they don’t teach good sportsmanship. Violators will be escorted from the game and could be banned from attending future Rockhurst activities. Please support your school in a manner that will reflect positively on both you and your school.

welcome FROM THE
Athletic Director Mr. Michael Dierks
O
ne of the missions of co-curricular school activities is to serve as an extension of the classroom. There are strong lessons to be learned in athletics. One of those lessons is to set and maintain high standards of sportsmanship, ethics and integrity in our schools and our society. It is up to us to provide the direction and constant vigilance under which good sportsmanship can prosper and have a positive impact on our children, the leaders of tomorrow and ourselves. We feel the need to stress the type of exemplary behavior that should be exhibited by all coaches, players and spectators at our events. The value of the lessons learned by exhibiting good sportsmanship will last a lifetime. If we ever lose sight of that, then athletics is not worth sponsoring. The positive actions of a coach, athlete or spectator at an event can influence how our school is perceived in our own community and the communities of those schools we meet on the field of play. Sportsmanship, quite simply, translates to citizenship for our young men and women and all those involved with the interscholastic program. Through our programs young people learn and practice RESPECT – respect for self and respect for others. We are asking for your support in this effort by emphasizing to your son what is expected of them at an athletic event as a competitor or spectator. After all, such events are an extension of the school day, and we should expect the same type of respectful behavior exhibited in the athletic arena as we do in the classroom. We urge you to ask your children to demonstrate self-control and self-discipline and at the same time, enjoy the games. Finally, we ask you to set a good example when in the stands at an event. It is only through these efforts that we can clearly communicate what is acceptable behavior. We hope that your positive example will help set the tone for those around you so we may all enjoy the games our athletic teams are involved in. Sportsmanship starts with you! When you purchase a ticket to an athletic event, you are given the privilege to view the action and to voice your support of our teams. We want that support to be in a positive tone. Simply put; let the coaches coach, the players play and the officials officiate. While in the stands tonight, cheer for the Hawklets and make us proud! We look forward to serving you this year and appreciate your continued support of Rockhurst athletics. Thanks!

state championships
hile it might not come as too much of a shock to think that Rockhurst has been successful in athletics, Title Town is probably one of the best phrases when you start looking at the number of top 3 finishes at the state tournament. This is even more impressive in that Rockhurst didn't participate in state championships in several sports until the 1970s. Last year was another strong showing where 4 out of the 11 varsity sports finished first! Add to that several best finishes, might make last year one of the most impressive - you let the numbers decide.

ROCKHURST’S
hall of
fame T
he Rockhurst High School “Sports Hall of Fame” honors alumni, coaches, and friends who have had a major impact on the school’s athletic tradition. Given The Rock’s storied heritage of sporting excellence in the Midwest, selection to the Sports Hall means recognition among the “best of the best” in Midwestern athletic history. The Sports Hall was established in 1991 by legendary coach and athletic director, Al Davis, Jr., along with his devoted student and friend, Mike Lillis ’56. Since the Charter Class of five men was inducted, the Sports Hall has grown to 95 members. Honorees are determined by a Selection Committee that carefully reviews nominations by Alumni Class Captains, as well as recommendations from the public at large, before submitting a slate to Rev. Terrence Baum, SJ, president of Rockhurst High School, for his blessing. Formal induction ceremonies occur each year during the Alumni Reunion Weekend. Members of the Sports Hall have distinguished themselves in many ways and were considered for a variety of reasons to be honored. A breakdown of some of the categorical point-of-interest include:

robert ‘89 gamble Robert Gamble was Mr. Winner. He might be the only Hawklet to win four state championships over 2 different sports (1986 and 1987 football; 198687 and 1988-89 basketball). Gamble was a key contributor in all of those banners. His sophomore year, he started at cornerback. This is even more impressive considering that 11 members of that team have been named to the Rockhurst all-time football team. Rarely did Gamble come off the field his junior and senior year. After a successful high school career, Gamble went on to play football for UCLA.
chris ‘89 heller At 6’11” center Chris Heller quickly established himself as a force. But by the time he graduated, he walked away as a three-year starter with 2 state championships (1987 and 1989) and a second place finish. His senior year he had epic matches and holds the sectional game scoring record by dropping 42 points versus Blue Springs. After winning the state championship, he was named as the Gatorade Player of the Year in Missouri. While Heller’s size was an advantage, he played great defense and could even break full court press, Heller went on to play at the University of Missouri.

john ‘83 hungerford
michael ‘84 long
matt ‘87 muehlebach
As a founding member of the program when it was resurrected in 1979, Hungerford went on to play for all four years and help make a name of Kansas City soccer. He was All-Metro and AllDistrict his junior and senior seasons and the first KC player to make the St. Louis dominated AllState team (2nd team). As a center back, he was the backbone of the defense and team captain. He went on to become a top player for Rockhurst University
Mike Long helped start Coach Tony Severino’s first season off with a bang - a state championship. He was a defensive stud and still ranks second in tackles for a single season in Rockhurst history with 148. His skills were recognized by being named to 1st team of All-Metro teams with the KC Star, WDAF TV and all-district and all-state honors as well. Over his three years at the varsity level, he only saw 4 losses and played for a state championship each year. He was credited with a 31 tackle game. Long went on to play for four years at KU.
There are probably some holding scoring records who are glad the 3-point shot wasn’t in effect when Matt Muehlebach played. He was a tremendous point guard with a dead eye from the outside. Transferring into Rockhurst from the West Coast, Muehlebach helped lead the Hawklets to its first state championship (1987) in the last 55 years (with the help of fellow member John Cooper). Cooper and Muehlebach were named co-DiRenna Award winners (given to the best KC metro area basketball player). He returned out west to start for some very successful Arizona Wildcat teams.

college counseling
A
s a college preparatory high school, Rockhurst is committed to helping students discover collegiate opportunities and programs that meet one’s academic, spiritual and social needs. Each student who graduates from RHS has the ability to succeed in a college or university setting. The academic foundation instilled by our faculty is the greatest bridge afforded to our students as they make the transition into collegiate studies. Thanks to the context in which our students learn - both in the classroom and through co-curricular activities - each graduate is able to embrace new settings, relationships and disciplines through a myriad of lenses. The philosophy of the College Counseling Office is to understand and serve the specific needs of each student while enabling him to find a suitable and satisfactory match for his college experience. Through comprehensive programming, which introduces students to the world of college early in their Rockhurst experience, our students receive personal interaction and education opportunities throughout the year. Ownership of the college selection process belongs to each of the students, while we gladly assist with their exploration, application and matriculation. With over 3,200 colleges and universities in the United States, there is a suitable place for each and every graduate. RHS students attend colleges all across the nation with the largest percentage concentrated in the Midwest. 12% of our 2014 graduates will attend a Jesuit college or university this fall.

Cross Country
5000 meters is a strategic distance because it isn’t short enough to be a sprint but isn’t long enough to try and outlast an opponent. This is the challenge of high school cross country. As the boys blend speed, strength, and stamina against a challenging course and weather they have to be prepared to take control of the race to be successful. So much of the training is a blend to build athletes who can handle those types of conditions because the state course is a real challenge. Last season, an inexperienced team grew a lot and achieved some remarkable goals. With only 3 returning varsity runners, a mixture of sophomores, juniors and a few seniors rounded out the top 10. They came out of the gate strong winning a very competitive Aquinas Invitational. They placed 5 guys in the top 20 and showed incredible fitness and courage by moving up throughout the race. The top runner also quickly emerged as William Thompson, incoming senior, finished 3rd
overall. But there were growing pains as the pack-running mentality of the program struggled finding its pace. At times throughout the season, the group would start out too fast and struggle to finish or they would give too much ground to some of the top teams and be unable to reel them in before the end of the 3.1 mile race. Strong rivals for the squad were Raymore-Peculiar, Liberty, and Lee’s Summit North to name a few. During their district race, they looked in position to steal a win from Ray-Pec but fell short as they faded in the last 1 km. Allthe-while, Thompson continued establishing himself as a top-tier runner in the area and even the state. He was breaking 16 minutes consistently and was a top 5 fixture at each race. Last season - 7 was the team’s number. The Hawklets have a streak of 7 years in a row qualifying for state, which ironically was the place the team finished at state as well. Thompson finished 7th overall, which ranks as the 3rd highest state

placer in school history. Qualifying for the state championships continues to be a hallmark of a good season. The KC area produces quality teams and only the top 4 get to represent the area in Jefferson City. So it shouldn’t come as a surprise that this year’s squad has its sights on state again - but they will have more experience. 5 out of the top 7 return to try and advance to state and bring home hardware. Thompson is joined by junior Sam Wilkerson as the top 2 duo. Seniors Alex Seese and Carson Bode, along with junior Gray Ryan all return after having raced at state last season. There is also a strong push from the younger classes to crack into the varsity. 21 runners were carried on the state series roster and 18 of them return for this season so there should be plenty of competition for those 7 spots. Three seniors made an impact on the varsity last season and their leadership and commitment will need to be replaced. A two-time state runner, graduate Charlie Smith, was the center of the team.
Fellow classmate Jack McHugh showed great heart and cut-up humor. Ed Wilkinson was the inspiration jumping from the E team to varsity in one season. This experience will help continue some of the tried traditions of racing as a Hawklet. Packing up with teammates is a hallmark race strategy to carry the burden of pace. Second, they will have to learn when to settle back and wait for the right time to really fire up or when to surge as the competition is getting soft. But most importantly they will have to learn how to finish a race and show improvements from last season. Opportunities are many. With an extra week in the season the team is adding an extra duel meet with LSN and will once again race in several local meets (Aquinas, KC Metro, Kearney), in Lawrence at the famous Rim Rock Farms and travel to St. Louis to see what the other side of the state offers. All of this is so that when they are pressed at District, Sectionals and State - they can master that blend of strength, speed and endurance.

Football son at Rockhurst. So the team enters 2014 with a renewed sense of mission and some new names on its schedule. Off season conditioning seemed to have more purpose and the skill positions return with plenty of experience. Along with senior TJ Green returning at quarterback on the offensive side, they have playmakers in many other positions. Senior Kiah Kintchen runs tough up the middle while seniors Matt Schell, Will Bazzle or junior AJ Taylor can use their speed around the edges. They can even field a set of receivers who are 6-5 or taller. They will find ways to put these weapons and many others to use to make plays. This summer at the NFL’s 7-on-7 competition in Indianapolis, the Hawklets won their division and finished as one of the top 8 teams. They got the opportunity to represent the KC Chiefs but more importantly, they continued to enhance their
rock
skills offensively. Defensively, there are a few more questions with this squad. But don’t fret, defensive coordinator, Mr. Eric Berg, will work with the coaches to continue a Hawklet tradition of strong defense. A gander at the schedule will show some new names - but all opponents seem to have a simple aspect in common - they are winning programs. The Hawklets will start with Rock Bridge and play 9 opponents who won a total of 83 games in 2013, five of the teams played in their respective state championship game. Webb City is a perennial Class 3 powerhouse and played Helias in the championship. Rock Bridge lost to the two-time defending state champs, Blue Springs. Bentonville won Arkansas’s largest class state title. Needless to say, eyes will be on the Hawklets to see how they rebound from the 2013 season. They have worked hard in the off season, now is the time to play!

Twenty years later, during the celebration of Rockhurst’s 75th year of football, the All Time Team was updated. Rockhurst coaches have reviewed the many years of football teams and individual players and then honored additional players, naming them to the All Time Hawklet squad yearly with the school criteria of having graduated five years out..

Edward F. Bukaty Award
T
he Edward F. Bukaty Award was given to Rockhurst by Alex George, Sr., in memory of Edward Bukaty. Mr. Bukaty was an avid supporter of Rockhurst. He suffered a heart attack and died while watching his son Joe play in the 1952 Lillis/Rockhurst football game. Every season since the Bukaty Award was established, a senior is selected by the football coaches and players as the recipient of this prestigious honor. The criteria, set by Mr. Alex George and former head football coach Mr. Al Davis, is to honor the individual player displaying the greatest leadership both on and off the field. The award criteria also state that the individual should lead by example and should have the respect of both players and coaches. Since that time, 61 young men, including Joe Bukaty, have been selected for this special honor.

win in less of a nail-biter victory 3-1 to hold the 1st place state trophy for the sixth time in school history. So for the 2014 season there returns a core group of team members who logged significant time. Junior Cole McLagan will be tasked to use his speed and skill to attack offensively while seniors Robert DeWitt and Xavier Mendez patrol the midfield. Senior Matthew Martel will continue to use his flip throw-in and stingy defense while senior Ryan Lewis plugs the gap and often defends the opponents’s best offensive threat. Senior Jordan Evans uses speed and toughness to make a huge impact. He can play offensively or defensively, so it will be interesting to see how the coaching staff configure things this season. Beyond those who started, there are plenty of guys who got some playing time and they will be challenged to fill the positions of the graduates. The competition for who tends the net will be tight. Expect at least a few new faces to buy into what the coaches are saying and really make an impact. The schedule will once again force the team to be tested. They will travel to Washington, DC for the annual Jesuit Classic after hosting in 2013. They will also play against crosstown rival, St. Thomas Aquinas, in the Top Dawg tournament. Traveling to St. Louis for the Gateway Classic allows them to play nationally ranked programs (brackets yet to be released). As for non-tournament games this regular season, the Hawklets will play often at home. Time will tell whether the World Cup frenzy and the KC Sporting support will find its way to the Dasta Memorial stadium, but having a trophy in hand won’t mean entitlement. This new group of Hawklets will work hard, trust their coaches and do whatever their team asks.

Swim & Dive •123• •26 •
Swim & Dive “Prepare for anything” is a motto that resonates with the Aquahawk swim & dive program here at Rockhurst. Coach Paul Winkeler and his coaching staff guide each athlete to be able to see a goal and stay focused on it so that no matter what happens, they can still work towards its success. At the state championships in the diving finals, David Knopke was a heavy favorite in his second year as the returning champion. His dive card continued to get more difficult as the competition progressed and you could feel the sheer focus tighten as he approached these dives. So, when they announced his next dive as he was on the board, you could hardly see the hesitation - that wasn’t supposed to be his dive. He took maybe one extra second and then attempted the dive - not his best one but he still managed to complete it. Light applause ensued and the whole room wondered whether if the pressure was mounting. The next diver came up and again, a dive was called that wasn’t his own. Soon, it became apparent that something went wrong with the or-
der of the dives and the error wasn’t the coach or the team but the computer. That was about the only drama for state championship #10 in a row. The team scored a total of 220 points, beating its nearest competitor by 57 points. One first place, three events placed second and another event was third. While the formula seems to be redundant, there were truly some extraordinary performances in 2013. In addition to Knopke’s dominant sophomore season, senior Alex Albracht is putting his name up in the record books. He broke two school records (200 IM and 100 breaststroke). He was a top 3 performer for the Hawklets in 5 events, along withbeing a member of two relays. Both will be asked to take their focus and their successful experience to help try and lead the squad repeat for title #11. So much focus is placed on how the Aquahawks have dominated the state meet, but the physical and mental preparation which they undergo for the entire season helps prepare each and every team member to understand his role.

Swim & Dive
From team building activities, early morning practices, dry land training, leadership training, competing in the toughest meets in the state, and lots of yards in the pool, all of this preparation prepares the Aquahawks for success. Coach Winkeler and his staff rely heavily on their senior leadership and the 2013 crew didn’t disappoint. Peter Stanley was named the KC Star Scholar-Athlete for Rockhurst. Drew Hagedorn and Grant Byers helped score points at state while Jack Hilliard helped keep a talented team hungry as a captain. The recipe for success has stayed fairly consistent for the Hawklets over the last several state championships. Score points in diving and relays and allow the depth of the Hawklets to pick up enough to put them over the top in the individual finals and consolations. Diving has dominated the state championships for the Hawklets and this trend should continue in 2014. All four state divers return including the 1-2 punch of
rock
Knopke and Zach Cook. Don’t think dive coach, Mr. Steve Robbins will let them lose focus either. He will continue to challenge them all. Along with Albracht as one of the top individual finishers in the senior class, junior AJ Iseman and sophomore Collin Nill are also top returners in individual events helping give the Aquahawks plenty of talent in sprints and distance swims. 66% of those who were top 3 in each event return, not to mention all four divers who competed at state. As far as the schedule for 2014, you might notice a pattern, the Hawklets want to be challenged and will go out to swim against the best they can. They don’t rest for any regular season meets so as to peak strongly at the state championships. But the bottom line is that in a long season, what will this group of Aquahawks do when they get tested - a betting man would think they will be prepared.

all time team T
his list will grow quickly as the swim team’s top performers during this state championship streak become eligible for the All Time team (must be 5 years from graduation). The team was recently created and with a young history, this list represents pioneers who helped establish the sport to the point where it is feared across the KC Metro area and the state of Missouri. Submission for membership to the squad can be submitted to the Athletic Director or head coach, with credentials as to why their high school swim & dive career warrants consideration.

Basketball ••143• 26•
Basketball With a new head coach and 10 new varsity players, the basketball team began a new era for the 2013-2014 season. After a state championship in 2013 and the retirement of Coach Mark Nusbaum, new faces would carry the rich traditions of the basketball program forward. And with such an inexperienced squad Coach Campbell had his work cut out for him. Coach Peter Campbell, Rockhurst graduate - class of 1989, is well positioned for to both understand the past, present and the future for the program. But that means there were some growing pains as the team faced top competition with limited experience and new coaches. The result was a 12-15 record where the Hawklets played some great basketball at times but struggled to be consistent. The good news is that they return 14 of the 15 varsity players. They will lose the leadership of graduate JP Decker.
The Hawklets took home a 2nd place plaque from districts showing that they have plenty of promise. They played one of their best games of the season when it mattered most - the district semifinals versus Ray-Pec, district site host. Winning by 31 points, the team excelled in all phases of the game. That is a good sign according to Coach Campbell. The team is composed of a nice combination of size, good shooting and guard play. Senior it Cartier Dean is the only 2-year starter. He averaged just under 12 points per game, accounting for over 20 percent of the team’s scoring. He also led the team in assists and was second in rebounding behind, senior Noah Spencer. 13 games came down to 5 points or less including three overtime games. There are lots of ways to look at this information. Despite inexperience, the Hawklets were always prepared and even though they played against some of the best teams

in KC, they were always able to stay in the game because of great scouting and recognition of what the other team’s were doing. With a 6-7 record in those tight games, more experience should prove valuable. Under Coach Campbell’s system, a complete player can really change the outcome. “I am a huge believer in playing hard at both ends of the court. I love players who take charges, set screens, and think of their teammates before themselves,” he said. As for who will end up starting, there were plenty of combinations used last year and players will need to step up their game. It is anyone’s guess at this point who will earn a spot. But what will stay consistent is the challenging schedule. Rockhurst will continue to play against some of the very best competition. Blue Springs South and Shawnee Mission East are two big rivalry games. Additionally, they have entered two new tournaments, playing in the Liberty Tournament and the Shawnee Mission East Tournament. These two, along with William Jewell will give the Hawklets plenty of tournament experience to build on the past year. And they will rely upon good defense against a full slate of competition. “We must play good defense (both full court and half) and that leads to transition baskets. That’s when we are at our best. We are really fun to watch when we defend well and share the ball, giving up a good shot, for a great one,” Coach Campbell said.

oach Campbell begins his second year as head coach after 18 years as an assistant. A Rockhurst grad (class of `89), he helped bring home a basketball state title in 1989; a feat made possible in part due to his game winning shot to make it out of the quarterfinals. He went on to get his BA from Mizzou and MA at Baker. He is married with three kids: Catelyn (14), and twins Emma and Will (7). Coach Campbell served as the athletic director for 6 years but has recently returned to the classroom and will teach freshman math. Throughout his RHS career, he has also coached football and baseball. Without coaching or teaching, Coach Campbell says he would be broke - he can’t do anything else.

Wrestling in school history. Day one was a resounding success with all six wrestlers winning their first match. As the competition got steeper, several Hawklet wrestlers dug in. By Day 3, three wrestlers placed all-state, led by Cameron’s third place finish. Charlie Lipford and Peterson finished fourth in the state in their weight class. The buzz around Mizzou Arena was how well the Hawklets wrestled. Some twenty years ago, it was unheard of to hear Rockhurst spoken about at state and now Coach Wikiera saw success. Other seniors who led by both example and teaching technique were Ryan Loiaicano, Leo Jurgeson, Hayden Hoebing and Andre Putman.

So how does the 2014-2015 season look? With the return of the Valdiviez twins and seniors Sam Daly and Luke Jokerst, juniors Vince Spalitto and Carson Meek - the goal is to hear more buzz at state. The newest face will be incoming head coach, Mr. Armand Aaron. Coach Aaron hails from Christian Brothers in Memphis, Ten. He relocated to Kansas City but isn’t a stranger to Missouri wrestling. He was a coach at Christian Brothers in St. Louis for several years and is highly respected in the wrestling community. Coach Aaron will work closely with Coach Wikiera and Coach Gillenwater and Coach Anderson-Boland to help continue to build the program.

The Hawklets graduate a lot of its proven offensive firepower, while they return many seasoned pitchers. Wemhoff is joined by seniors Brooks Hallock (who was second in ERA with a mark of just over 2.0). Seniors JT Watt and Nick Bosma and junior Tyler Benninghoff will round out a very experienced staff with over 150 innings pitched. This will bring high expectations and plenty of excitement according to Coach DeGraw. There is a group of players ready to step up and fill roles. Seniors Luke Ritter, TJ Green and Ben Whetstone will be keys as well. For Coach DeGraw, he added another piece to a wonderful coaching career by earning his 300th career victory on April 24 versus Olathe South. He is only the third coach for the program since it was reinstated in the late 1980s. He has built up the program that is talent-rich and represents Rockhurst with pride. He continues to schedule a mixture of Missouri and Kansas teams. There has even been a nice series versus Creighton Prep (a Jesuit school in Omaha, Neb.) where the two teams have matched up and had some great games. The 2014 season wasn’t able to celebrate with a district or state championship but there are many players who will go on to play in college or who can now take over the leadership in 2015. Play ball!

F
ollowing his retirement in 2013 as head basketball coach, Coach Nusbaum has taken over the golf program after nine seasons as an assistant. A four-sport, nine-time letterman at Marshalltown High in Iowa in football, basketball, track and baseball (a summer sport then), he never took an off-season. Although he didn’t compete in golf at either the high school or collegiate level, he is quite skilled at the game, sporting a nine handicap. He started caddying at the age of 14, saying that it was much more laid back than hoops. His biggest sports influence was his parents for allowing him to play anything and then being there to support him. Coach Nusbaum teaches math at Rockhurst.

aking a break from the high contact of football, Coach Sully heads to the greens in the spring for his sixth season. After graduating from the Rock in 1984 with two football state championships, he continued his education at the University of Kansas to play football, but blew out his knee freshman year, and then Webster for his Master’s. He coached track & field for eight years, including four years as head (2005-08), and teaches both AP and Honors Chemistry. He married Beth in 2008 and has two stepdaughters: Sarah (21) and Mary Kate (19).
bviously Coach Beirne felt like he has too much free time as he is a three-sport coach beginning his second year with the golf team. A Bishop Hogan, Rockhurst U. (for BA and MA) and UMKC (for MA) grad, he also apparently loves the Kansas City area. In high school, he played football, basketball, golf and baseball, going on to play two years of basketball at UMKC. Since coming to RHS in 1999, Coach Beirne teaches Ancient Civilizations and Economics. He has two children: Katie (20) and Matt (RHS ‘14). If he wasn’t a teacher or coach, he says he would be a host of a home improvement show on PBS or HGTV.

Lacrosse When you entered the locker room of the 2014 varsity lacrosse team, you saw a countdown to the league championship. It was always not too far from their minds. With a team of experienced seniors, they wanted to go out on top. So many players understood their role for the team. Whether it was a face-off possession, a great check at midfield, strong goalie play, calling out screens on the defense, or play like a timely pass or goal, 21 graduates helped the team win its first LAKC league championship. It was a team effort that wasn’t quite as easy as their undefeated league season might have implied. The coaching staff did a very good job of getting all of those members of the class of 2014 to stay focused on the team goals. As Coach Reidy continued to instill the focus on the overall goal, coach Mark Bayhylle ran the offense while coach Spencer Walsh kept tweaking the defense and motivating the team. The only losses to the team were when they travelled north to play in Chicago versus fellow Jesuit school, St. Ignatius in Chicago and then in a tournament at the University of Notre Dame. It was an eye-
opener for the team to go 0-3 but maybe a blessing. During their stay at Notre Dame they were able to watch some of the finest lacrosse in the nation, as on Saturday afternoon they were in the stands for the nationally televised Notre Dame vs. Duke game. The opportunity for this group to see lacrosse at its finest and help the lick their wounds and refocus on winning the league title is hard to quantify. Throughout the you’re in season, they displayed plenty of firepower on the offensive end. There was great chemistry between graduates Joe Faerber, Jack Hilliard and thensophomore Wheaton Jackoboice. Between the three of them they accounted for over 50% of the goals, led by Faerber’s 40. Oftentimes, Jackoboice or graduate Connor Prochnow were the set up man as they were 1-2 in assists for the team. That offense had to show up late in some games and put the fans on the edge of their seats and give their coaches heartburn. Versus Pembroke Hill in the regular season, it looked like they might be matched, but came storming back to win 6-5. This team just carried itself with a sense of purpose.

On the defensive side, they tried several combinations and had to deal with some injuries but graduates Canyon Smith and Robbie Healy helped Andrew Dakan keep the ball out of the net more often than not. Beyond the wins and losses there were some wonderful stories to the season, like the return of Hilliard to the program after getting cut his junior year. Many players could have gone a lot of other directions with that result but he didn’t give up. He spent extra time practicing. You could find him taking shots on goal when the sun was going down and the gates were getting locked up. All that preparation and that passion helped him during his senior campaign where he not only made the squad but became a starter, a leader and example of their no-quit attitude. He wasn’t the only one - Dakan challenged his team from the goal, Prochnow just wouldn’t quit. As a midfielder he rarely took a play off so he was a huge bridge between the offense and defense. And Faerber had a cannon that could score from almost anywhere. There were so many who stepped up that it is difficult to name them all. So when they advanced to the semifinals and faced Blue Valley West who had lots of talent and this was the game which knocked the Hawklets out in 2013, you could feel the tension. On local TV, the Hawklets played like a unit and came away with a 9-5 win earning their first birth to the LAKC championships. A 10-5 win over Pembroke Hill, which didn’t require last minute fireworks, crowned the season and this class of 2014. Now for the 2015 season, there are a select few who played significant minutes but they will have the example of a team that was all about team concept.

ates, Alex Koca and Patrick Michaelis were unseeded and had tough first matches. Michaelis lost to eventual second place finisher, Micah Klosia from Glendale in the first round. Koca on the other hand kept getting better and never lost a set, winning his first singles state championship and becoming another Hawklet to have earned that 1st place medal. Not to be outdone, the two doubles teams showed how truly deep the Hawklets were this season. Returning state champions, graduates Jacob Moore and John Nogalski made it to the semifinals without a loss of a set and eventually returned to the state finals after a 2-1 match over Rock Bridge High School’s top doubles group. On the other side of the bracket, seniors Jack Evans and Joe O’Connor swept their way thru the competition to face their teammates. After a tough-fought match of 6-2; 4-6; 7-6 (6) a new champion was crowned in Evans and O’Connor. It couldn’t have been a tighter match and showed how evenly matched both Rockhurst doubles teams were. The word dominance aptly applies. For the 2015 season, there will be plenty of opportunity as 4 graduated out of the top 7. While Coach Frisch and Coach Patrick Curran might not put those expectations on the future team, know that they will be motivating them to continue in the rich tradition that both these alums have come to expect out of the tennis program.

a hamstring issue. His loss forced new faces to step up in those events. The 4X800 relay saw three new faces along with Thompson (a sub 2:00 runner and member of the 2013 state championship relay team). They competed well at districts and were able to qualify for sectionals. But Thompson’s best event quickly became the 1600m run as he put on an even more impressive show as the #8 seed going into sectionals where he ran a 12 second personal best, clocking in at 4:20.3. Good enough for him to be fourth and qualifying for state (and only 1 second off the school record). But the season can’t be recapped without mention of Goldmon who will go down as being classified as a gamer and one of the

top horizontal jumpers in school history. His bests of 47-0.25 in the triple ranks as one of the furthest in school history. Yet his competitive fire drove him to a second place finish in the long jump with a career best 22-9 leap on his last jump. He ends his career with 2 state championships and two all-state jumps and two state qualifying appearances. For the 2015 season, they do return two members of the state championship relay in addition to getting Bode back, a top hurdler, thrower and all their distance runners. So who knows what is in store for the season, but under Coach Day and the staff, they will be primed to race when it counts.
