Every time I see a great story like this about HC's student athletes it makes me very happy and it reminds me what a challenge it must be to accomplish this for a school competing in D1 that is:
1. Small
2. Strictly undergraduate
3. Catholic
4. In Worcester
5. Has high academic standards
Kudos to HC.

It is now the westernmost suburb of Boston with commuter rail to the Hub. Triple A baseball coming in 4 months. Plus it has the Ship in the Kelley Square Hotel Vernon not to mention one of the world's largest neon hot dog signs. Oh, it also has a tunnel. |

I'm glad you said this. I've actually always been fond of Worcester. In addition to going to HC my first job as a lawyer was at a firm in Worcester and I owned a house there for four years. I've met a lot of great people there. Having said that, many of the people I know (including my three sons) are quick to criticize Worcester. I am its eternal defender. I understand though that Kelley Square has been or is going to be reconfigured for the new ball park. Too bad. Every time I gave visitors to my home directions I would tell them, as any Worcester-ite would, when you get to Kelley Square just keep driving, don't slow down, don't stop, just keep going. Driving through KS was a rite of passage for visitors.

Driving through KS was a rite of passage for visitors. As you alluded to, one of the keys to navigating Kelley Square was to avoid eye contact with fellow drivers. Now it has this giant peanut in the middle which has taken much of the adventure out of the trip. |

Why not disclose the names of the 2 students who made the dean's list?

They could always put a patch on their uniforms, right?
