UPDATE: I showed Tim the two pictures below and he said “Oh my God look at the size of my arms!” Very pleased with himself. With a 27-6 win against Chaminade. Tim’s team just has so much speed, on offense and defense. I am of course massively biased, but Tim is playing better and better … Read more

A very tough game against Holy Trinity (Queens), played on Long Island. Final score, 27-24 and Stepinac was down midway through the third quarter, 24-10.

As you may know, the book is controversial since special operations people maintain a “code of silence” about their missions.
