Roman Captures Its 500th All-Time Victory!
On Nov. 26, 2015, Roman
Catholic High defeated Roxborough, 49-6, to capture
its 500th all-time victory.
Humza Basil rushed nine times for 79 yards and two TDs for coach
Jim Murphy's
squad while Phil DiWilliams completed 4 of 6 passes for 76 yards and a
score to
Joey Bristow. Shane Flaherty mixed two interceptions with the
game's first TD,
which he scored on a 57-yard punt return.
UPDATE: According to available records, the Cahillites
collected their first win
in 1893 by 28-0 over Fitzwater A.A. In that era, it was not uncommon for high
school teams to play non-high school teams such as Fitzwater. Later, it was not
uncommon for high school teams to play college freshmen and prep schools stocked
with post-grads.
Thanks to alumnus/former coach Bob Wagner (records research),
assistant Sean
Woods (starting lineup), Ed "Huck" Palmer (boxscore) and athletic
director Dan
DiBerardinis (photo) for providing content for this page.
