Jack Maliska doing it all for Holy
Cross
September 28, 2012 * By Jennifer Toland * Worcester
Telegram & Gazette
Injuries depleted Holy Cross’ offensive line during training
camp — six players missed extensive time — so coach Tom
Gilmore turned to senior Jack Maliska, an All-Patriot League
defensive tackle in 2011, for reinforcement. Maliska, the
Winchendon resident and former Murdock High star, was all for
it. “I said I’ll play wherever you need me
— I’ll play safety if you want me to, but I probably
won’t be the best at backpedaling,” the 6-foot-4,
300-pound Maliska said. . .
Football Takes On Holy Cross Under The
Lights On Friday
September 28, 2012 * By Cordelia Mendez * Harvard
Crimson
After a 45-31 victory over Brown last Saturday, the Harvard
football team extended its winning streak to 11 games, the longest
in the Football Championship Series. On Friday night under the
lights at Harvard Stadium, the Crimson will look to push that
streak to 12 against the team that it last fell to, the Holy Cross
Crusaders. . .
Holy Cross radio sidekicks astute,
emotional
September 21, 2012 * By Bill Doyle * Worcester Telegram
& Gazette
Bob Fouracre works with two different analysts on Holy Cross
football radio broadcasts. Make that very different. Tom Kelleher
and Gordie Lockbaum are former HC football stars and 1988 graduates
and for the second year in a row they’re rotating as analysts
alongside Fouracre’s play by play. HC football games can be
heard on WTAG (580 AM) and (94.9 FM) and on goholycross.com. .

Dartmouth seeks 2-0 start at Holy
Cross
September 21, 2012 * By Noah Reichblum * The
Dartmouth
The Dartmouth football team will take its four-game win streak on
the road this Saturday, as the Big Green (1-0, 0-0 Ivy) will play
the College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, Mass. The Crusaders
(0-2, 0-0 Patriot), who beat Dartmouth 25-17 last year, will have
to face the young Big Green defense without their starting
quarterback, Kevin Watson, who is out with a knee injury. . .
Opposing view: Holy Cross
September 20, 2012 * By Ed Miller * Norfolk
Virginian-Pilot
Fifty days from the start of the regular season seems as good a
time as any to begin whetting your appetite for ODU hoops. I caught
up today with Holy Cross coach Milan Brown, in what I hope will be
an occasional (and maybe even chronological) look at the Monarchs'
2012-13 opponents. You remember Brown. The Kecoughtan High graduate
coached at ODU under Jeff Capel, took over for the legendary Jim
Phelan at Mount St. Mary's and then moved on Holy Cross two years
ago. . .
Maliska gets it done on both
sides
September 20, 2012 * By Mark Bedics *
NCAA.com
Holy Cross senior Jack Maliska earned second team All-Patriot
League honors as a defensive tackle during the 2011 season, and was
expected to once again be a force for the defense this year. But
due to a number of injuries along the offensive line, Maliska has
been needed by the Crusaders on both sides of the ball.
During last week’s game against Brown, he started at
defensive tackle, taking 30 total snaps and making one tackle. .

Bruno to kick off season against Crusaders
in Worcester
September 14, 2012 * By Jake Comer * Brown Daily
Herald
The football team will travel to Worcester, Mass. tomorrow to kick
off its season against a College of the Holy Cross squad that may
still be reeling from its heartbreaking 20-13 loss at Brown Stadium
last season. Bruno conquered the Crusaders last October with a
99-yard touchdown drive in the fourth quarter, and a demanding
preseason this year has the Bears looking to rise to the occasion
once more and set their campaign in motion. . .
Paul Morano star on diamond, gem in
life
September 11, 2012 * By Bill Doyle * Worcester Telegram
& Gazette
Paul Morano no doubt would have been amazed by all the fuss made
over his death last week. Humble throughout his 71 years, Morano
would have been shocked by the hour and a half some waited in line
at his wake at Mercadante Funeral Home on Friday, or that St.
Stephen’s Church was crowded for his funeral the next
morning. . .
Bob Cousy, Bill Sharman share
memories
September 7, 2012 * By Bill Doyle * Worcester Telegram
& Gazette
Bob Cousy and Bill Sharman, former Celtics teammates and road
roommates, embraced when they saw each other for the first time in
five years yesterday at Worcester Country Club. When they played
together for 10 years in the 1950s and early ’60s, they were
both 6-foot-1, but age has forced the 86-year-old Sharman to stoop,
so Cousy stood a few inches taller. . .
Holliston's Polanik coming to end of
soccer career at Holy Cross
September 2, 2012 * By Paul Lazdowski * MetroWest Daily
News
When the Holy Cross men’s soccer team fell 2-1 to Quinnipiac
University at the Linda J. Smith Soccer Stadium on Thursday night,
it marked the final season opener for senior goalkeeper Evan
Polanik. It’s been a long journey for the Holliston native
and Xaverian Brothers graduate, one that has tested his resolve,
reinforced the importance of hard work, and helped him identify the
manner in which he will pursue his post-college aspirations. .
