Get ready to step into a time machine and relive the glory days! We are thrilled to announce an exciting evening of camaraderie and competition among our sister Augustinian schools, St. Rita and Providence High School. On the evening of Tuesday, December 12, at 7 PM, with a pregame reception starting at 5:45, the two schools will clash on the basketball court at St. Rita High School located at 7740 South Western.

Pre-Game Alumni Gathering

Before the game, Mendel Alumni will have a special gathering in the McCarthy Center. It’s more than just a pre-game; it’s a chance to reconnect with old friends over slices of pizza and refreshing beverages. It’s an opportunity to reignite the Monarch spirit that still burns brightly within us all. As we share stories and laughter, we’ll also pay tribute to our rich athletic heritage with our Basketball Trophies and banners proudly on display.

Support the Legacy

A small donation will be requested at the door. Not only will this contribution grant you access to an evening filled with nostalgia, but it will also serve a greater purpose. A portion of the funds collected will support the Mendel Alumni Association Legacy Scholarship Fund, ensuring that the legacy of our beloved school continues to inspire and support future generations.

A Throwback to Honor our Past

In what promises to be a heartwarming tribute, both St. Rita and Providence teams will take to the court wearing throwback warmup shirts reminiscent of the Mendel era. This sartorial salute to our history is sure to bring back memories of past victories and the timeless spirit of our teams.

Halftime Honors

During halftime, prepare to cheer on as we honor the past players of Mendel Basketball. It’s a moment to recognize the dedication, talent, and sportsmanship that defined our teams throughout the years. This recognition on the court is not just about the past; it’s a beacon for the present, inspiring current players with the rich legacy they’re part of.
