Fleming, Jr. BISHOP MCCORT HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL/CAO January 2018 Dear Supporters and Members of the Bishop McCort Family, It is with great enthusiasm that I welcome you to another exciting year of Bishop McCort Catholic High School athletics. The musicians, color guard, and student-athletes continue the proud Crusher tradition that was forged over ninety years ago at Johnstown Catholic High School. Our alumni, staff, faculty, parents, and most especially our students sincerely appreciate your attendance at our games and your good wishes throughout the school year. Our coaches and teachers expect our student-athletes to compete at their best and to their full- est—always reinforcing the school’s commitment to sportsmanship and fair play. As a PIAA member school, we firmly believe that the outcome of any athletic contest should be determined by the quality of play on the field or court and by the positive support of the spectators. Regardless of the outcome of each contest, we ask that our Crusher fans and supporters consid- er the time and effort that each of these young participants have put forth in order to represent Bishop McCort Catholic High School. A ticket to an interscholastic athletic event is a privi- lege. It is a privilege to watch youngsters participate in and learn from the lessons provided by athletic competition. Let’s work together in the promotion and achievement of good sports- manship ideals. We should be an example to others by showing an appreciation of all perfor- mances as well as a graceful acceptance of results. I am pleased to present to you the 2017-18 Winter Sports Media Guide. This comprehensive guide highlights the Bishop McCort athletic teams that compete during the winter sports season. Thank you again for your support of our student-athletes. Enjoy the contest!
