PHJIrish Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 This is truly sad! I didn't know Mario but enjoyed watching him play. You could see that he was a hard working young man. RIP, Irishman! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IndplsCathedral_Dad Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 (edited) This one is a hard pill to swallow. A group of us Dad's who currently have boys on the team, just had a conversation about this upcoming season. Mario's name just kept coming up about how he was going to be such a great leader with such a young secondary coming back. It's still just such a shock and the fact that this young man truly played so much larger than his size. Fly high Mario! We will get you that state title you told all the boys you were going to lead them to! W.I.N.

Grover Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 Absolutely awful. And it is going to be very difficult on his friends who can't get together in a large group because now is when they need each other. Prayers to the Cathedral football family and to this young man's family. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stryker Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 This is a difficult thing to endure in normal times. I am certain it's even tougher when kids don't have each other around to physically lean on. Deepest condolences to all those involved from the Roncalli family and this Cathedral alum.

Guest DT Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 I read everything in this thread Did not see any details pertaining to the shooting Was it a random drive by? Was a crime involved? Gang activity? Or is it all just random speculation at this time while the police department conducts its investigation Im sure the police know exactly what happened and why at this point.

An investigation is still pending so no, all the details have not been released. Regardless that's neither here or there, 2 young man tragically lost their lives to senseless gun violence.

It’s no different than the previous articles linked other than it names the second victim; investigation ongoing, no suspects, etc, etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
