Sports “I felt like one of them,” the forward said of watching a practice. A defensive dynamo who swatted 3.2 shots per game, Rafiu hopes her tenacity will prove her greatest contribution to the Hoyas, with her academic curiosity sure to make her a well-rounded matriculator. With her African roots, that Rafiu wishes to study international business or business administration should shock nobody. “For now, I want to make us better,” she said of her Saints. It is scary to hear Stewart wants the same for his team, as it is coming off a 27-4 season that produced a third-straight Catholic League crown and a second-straight PIAA Class AAA State championship. “We have a successful program and if the guys push themselves, I’ll push them, too,” the forward/center and Upper Darby dweller said of sustaining his school’s reputation. The First Team All-Catholic pick averaged 11.7 points and 7.5 rebounds a contest. Four schools sought him, with Rider, for whom his brother Danny, a ’10 Neumann-Goretti graduate, plays, winning. “They want me to exceed my expectations,” the future accounting major said of counting himself fortunate to have the Broncos’ support.
MEDICAL
Gorman, of the 300 block of Ritner Street, had six offers and decided on the Hawks because of the coaching staff, the team’s potential and the school’s atmosphere and proximity. A First Team AllCatholic pitcher and outfielder, he will primarily pitch and is planning to study either business or psychology. If the latter, he can counsel his strikeout victims, as he looks to build on a pedigree that helped his team to win this year’s Catholic League and PIAA District 12 AAA crowns. “No matter where I am, my mindset is one of not wanting to lose,” he said. Kerrigan, another First-Team outfielder and a resident of the 1700 block of West Moyamensing Avenue, feels the same. He attended various showcases and impressed the Owls’ brass with his skill. “I had a feeling I was meant to be there,” he said of the school where he will likely major in sports medicine. No matter what the future may hold, Kerrigan, like the others, knows senior year is big. “I hope we can win the Catholic League, city and state championships,” he said. SPR
