Tess Hackworthy ’15 Honored as She Joins Fellow Golfing Alumnae

The Lou Warobick Junior Golf Foundation announced that it has selected Tess Hackworthy ’15 as one of the recipients of its 2015 Sportsmanship Scholarship awards. Tess, who claimed the Individual State Champion title in her senior year and now attends UW-Madison, earned the award for her volunteer contributions of time for several organizations in her community and at Edgewood High School.

The scholarships, named in memory of Wisconsin State Golf Hall of Fame honoree Lou Warobick, are meant to promote good sportsmanship in junior golf. Golf coaches, athletic departments, golf professionals, associations and other golf officials throughout Wisconsin nominate college bound high school senior boys and girls for the scholarships.

Tess will be playing on the UW-Madison Women’s Golf Team alongside fellow alumna Lexi Greytak ’13. Another EHS alumna, Katie Elliott ’04, also played for the Badgers and is now the Assistant Coach!

55 Years and Counting!

Members of the class of 1960 held their 55th Anniversary Reunion on August 8 & 9. They celebrated their faith and school memories during a Saturday evening Mass at Edgewood High School (and took advantage of long summer days to have a photo taken on the front steps). After Mass, classmates attended a cocktail reception and buffet dinner at Maple Bluff Country Club, where there was plenty more reminiscing! The following day featured a casual get-together at the home of Dave and Mary Jane Osborne.

Followers of Milwaukee Brewers baseball and Milwaukee Bucks basketball broadcasts are familiar with seeing her sideline reports for Fox Sports Wisconsin. Edgewood alumna Sophia Minnaert ’05. daughter of EHS head football coach/religious studies and physical education teacher Al Minnaert, graduated from Marquette University in Milwaukee with degrees in journalism, literature, and Spanish in 2009.

She was recently profiled in a Madison Catholic Herald article that recounts her progress from intern with the newspaper to working on broadcasts of WIAA sports to landing a position with Fox Sports. Read the full story, including her interesting experiences along the way, by clicking the link above.

In a quote from the Catholic Herald story, Sophia says the most important part of her job is "dealing with a lot of different people, personalities, situations. Just trying to go about your job the right way [and] being ethical and being a good person. I think that's just that biggest thing in how you go about your daily life."

Donate Blood in Support of Pat Wall ’76

EHS student Alex Thomas ’17 and alumnus Kevin Thomas ’15 have made a special appeal to Edgewood alumni in Madison for your help in giving the gift of life. As youth coordinators for the American Red Cross Blood Donor Club at Blessed Sacrament Parish they have organized a blood drive in honor of Patrick Wall ’76 on August 4. The goal is 50 units for this drive. 

Patrick was diagnosed with a rare form of leukemia and was lucky enough to find a donor match within his family and had a bone marrow transplant in April.

If you are in the Madison area, please donate blood at this local drive and show your support for both Patrick and the Red Cross. You can sign up in advance by entering sponsor code BlessedSacramentMdsn at redcrossblood.org. (While walk-ins are welcome, signing up ahead of time will help the Red Cross send adequate staff to help prevent delays.)

The drive will take place on Tuesday, August 4 in the Friary Room at Blessed Sacrament School, 2112 Hollister Ave. in Madison, from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. 

The need for blood donations goes up significantly during the summer months as many regular donors are traveling, while the need for emergency care often goes up and for chronic care transfusions remains constant. If you live elsewhere in Wisconsin or the country, please watch for area blood drives as they are held in your area and contribute. Nationwide, someone needs a unit of blood every 2 to 3 seconds and most of us will need contributed blood at some point in our lifetime. Only volunteer donors can fulfill the need for patients in our community. 

Thank you!

If you're in town, see Urinetown

This hilarious, musical satire examines a world where corporations have control over even the most fundamental of rights...the right to pee. As you can imagine, a revolution ensues and songs and dances abound in this show that was nominated for the Best Musical Tony Award in 2002 and won the Tonys for Best Book of a Musical, Best Original Score and Best Direction of a Musical, as well as the Theatre World Award.

The House Theatre is Edgewood’s summer drama program, open to all, but esepcially designed to give alumni a chance to continue following their interest in acting and stagework. EHS alums involved in the show include Jack Buettner ’14, Dylan Todd ’14, Kate Goodwin ’11, Bee Lauer ’14 and Jake Prine ’14. 

 

Hope to see you there!
