The Moore Catholic at Pius X football game, originally scheduled for Saturday in Bangor, has been canceled after a 16-year-old Moore Catholic student-athlete was killed in a car crash Saturday.
Johnny Ray was killed and another teen was injured when their vehicle veered off a rain-slickened road in Midland Beach, N.Y., early Saturday night.
Ray, who played football and baseball, was pronounced dead at the scene, and the unidentified passenger was hospitalized at Staten Island University Hospital North.
Veteran Moore Catholic coach Greg Rocco called Ray the best athlete he has coached. Ray played shortstop and batted leadoff in baseball. In football, he had caught three touchdown passes and returned a kickoff for a touchdown. He was being recruited by Rutgers.
Pius X will receive a forfeit victory.
In light of the cancellation, Freedom Village has agreed to move the Nov. 7 game to Pius X, allowing the Royals to hold their Senior Day activities at home.
On this page I will have all information on sports events from Nazareth High School and all other sports events in the country. I will also have news about myself and other people.
