2024-2025 School Year Recap

The 2024–2025 school year was a standout season for St. Francis DeSales athletics, filled with championship moments and remarkable achievements. Our Stallions captured state titles in Girls Lacrosse and Competition Cheerleading, returned to the Boys Soccer State Semifinals, and earned a State Runner-Up finish in Boys Wrestling.

Individual excellence was on full display, with Darren Thomas (Bowling), Luke DeFrancisco (Swimming), Jacob Reash (Track), and Lindsey Jewett (Track) competing at State Championship events. The Boys Cross Country team qualified for the state meet, and Boys Basketball secured a District Championship.

Off the field, 10 athletes were added to the All-Ohio Wall in Heritage Hallway, and 22 seniors committed to compete at the collegiate level, further highlighting the strength and tradition of Stallion athletics.

The 2024–2025 year once again proved that at DeSales, Tradition Never Graduates.
