About:
The Albertus Magnus varsity field hockey team recently held a meaningful event: the Red Bandana game, a special tribute in honor of 9/11. This game carried deep significance for the players, the school, and the community.
Each player took to the field wearing a red bandana, symbolizing the heroism of Welles Crowther. A former lacrosse player, Crowther became a hero on 9/11, saving numerous lives while wearing his signature red bandana. His bravery has become an enduring symbol of courage, and the team was proud to carry on this legacy.
The Red Bandana game not only served to commemorate the lives lost on that tragic day but also reminded everyone of the extraordinary acts of selflessness that emerged from the tragedy. The Albertus Magnus field hockey team played with passion, heart, and a deep sense of purpose—reflecting the spirit of unity and resilience that defined the event.
This tribute game was a meaningful way for the community to come together, honor the heroes of 9/11, and remember the sacrifices made. It offered the team, their families, and supporters an opportunity to reflect on the lessons of courage, empathy, and teamwork that continue to resonate today.
