Help us meet the goal of 1,000 Many thanks to those who have shown their support for a great start for the Alumni Annual Fund in becoming "One Thousand Flyers Strong." It's a simple premise -- the support of more than 1,000 alumni to Loyola College Prep. If we are to reach our participation goal of 1,000 alumni -- which is more than double typical the amount in a typical year -- we need your participation. Your donation counts, whether it is for $10, $100 or $1,000. In terms of financial goals, we are already at 82 percent of our goal in just one month! How does your class rank in terms of alumni donations for 2006-07? Click the link below for a class-by-class breakdown on the participation levels (through Jan. 16, 2007). [CLASS-BY-CLASS] Our goal is to have 25 participants for each class in the decades of the 1960s, '70s, '80s and '90s. The goal for the other classes is for 10 participants in each. As you can see, no class has reached its goal ... yet. If you'd like to help make sure your class does reach its goal by making a few phone calls, contact the Development Office at (318) 226-6291. If you have not done so, please return the pledge card you received in December at your earliest convenience. Or you might choose the convenience of our updated online donation page, for those who choose to make a credit card donation (this is a secure site). CLICK HERE FOR DONATION PAGE (You can make a pledge by clicking the "will send check" button.) We can only become "One Thousand Flyers Strong" with your support!

After a fantastic Career Day in 2005, Loyola will hold another this year on March 23 we're hoping to have alumni on campus to be presenters for the various fields.

On March 23, a morning assembly will be held at 9:15 and then students will then break out into six 30-minute sessions for the fields they have pre-selected. Lunch will be served to our guest presenters. The program will conclude about 1 p.m.
Get your team together for Trivia Night "Let's Make a Deal or No Deal" is the theme for the fifth annual Trivia Night at the Loyola gym on Saturday, February 3. Get your classmates or family members together for a team and join us. Sponsored by the Loyola Parents Association, Trivia Night will give everyone an opportunity to win prizes and will be fun for all. Teams are being formed by a table of 10 players and would be the perfect opportunity to see if your class really is the smartest to ever graduate from our school. However, your team can consist of whomever you think might give you the best chance to win -- friends, family or alumni. Doors open at 6 p.m. and the trivia questions begin at 7. Categories include history, music, sports, entertainment -- and a few "special" categories. Choose your team captain and register today. You can click the link above to print out a registration form.

Sophomore
Charles Winborne (pictured, right) set a school record for points
in a game in the opening District 1-2A contest of the season as the Flyers
beat 82-79 in overtime. Winborne scored 47 points, breaking the record of
43 by Reggie Cooksey, set in the 1994-95 season. Winborne, who scored 42
points in a game earlier this season, was 15 of 17 from the free throw
line and made 14 of 24 shots from the field. Winborne is one of only five
players in school history to score 40 points in a game, joining Cooksey,
Billy Thomas (three times in 1993-94), George Restovich (in 1963) and
Henry Rosenblath (1960). The boys basketball team is 14-15 overall and 1-1
in district play.
FOOTBALL:
Add another item to the list of accomplishments for Loyola’s Tripp George
(pictured, left). Last year, he became the only Flyer football
player to make the All-State team as a sophomore. Now, he becomes one of
the few to be a two-time All-State selection when he was chosen the
state’s sportswriters on the Class 2A team. George had 124 tackles in his
junior season -- 53 more than anybody else on the team. He also had 11
tackles behind the line. Recognized for making the All-District first team
were Morgan Brian, Aubry Carmody, Austin Whitten, Tim Doolin, Alexander
Anglin, George and Morgan Johnston. Forty Flyers were awarded letters for the
2006 season and 24 were named Academic All-District.
