Letter from the director of athletics

It is my great pleasure to welcome you to the 2012-13 Roncalli Rebel athletic year. We look forward to many exciting athletic events this fall and throughout the year as we engage in many contests with the best scholastic competition within central Indiana and throughout the state of Indiana.

Congratulations are in order for our Rebel baseball squad as they succeeded in capping off our first, and tremendously successful, year of competition in Class 4A by playing for the IHSAA State Championship in June at Victory Field! As well, kudos go to our girls golf, girls volleyball, boys soccer, gymnastics, girls bowling, girls tennis, boys volleyball,and softball teams for winning a large selection of Marion County, Sectional, Regional, and Semi-State Championship titles throughout the past academic year. And special congratulations are well deserved by recent Rebel graduate Will Schott, who leaped to the IHSAA State Championship in the high jump event at the State Meet in June!

Our coaches have been working very diligently, as have our student-athletes, in their off season preparations for their particular Rebel sport’s upcoming season. We thank them for these quality efforts as they continue to perform to the best of their abilities while unfailingly representing Roncalli in an exemplary and sportsmanlike manner on the athletic field or court.

With that important idea in mind, we again remind you of the need for all members of the Roncalli Family to promote and observe the important values of Christian and sportsmanlike behavior as exhibited both on the playing field and in the stands! Be a good sport!

Our Roncalli Athletic Boosters organization (RABC) continues to be extremely successful in its very important fund raising activities each year. Please be generous in your support of their 50/50 raffle sales at our varsity football and basketball games and at their Reverse Raffle held in February as they seek to provide funds to purchase needed, but non-budgeted, items for the benefit of the entire Rebel athletic program.

We greatly appreciate your attendance at this home contest and trust that you will cheer heartily for the Rebels and have an enjoyable experience. Go Rebels!

Dave Toner,
Director of Athletics
