On Jan. 8, Councilman Cris Medina of District 7, visited with the Student Knight Ambassadors as part of the Holy Cross President’s Speaker Series. Councilman Medina addressed the topic of “Leadership & Civic Involvement at the Local Level of Government.”
Councilman Medina encouraged the students to continue their education upon graduation from Holy Cross. He shared with them his own life experiences which shaped his path toward public service.
“It takes hard work, dedication and sacrifice,” said Councilman Medina. “It’s all worth it when you know you’re making a difference in the community.”
“I know you will fulfill your potential,” said Councilman Medina. “I look forward to seeing great things come from all of you.”

One of the most storied rivalries in San Antonio will be taking a two years break in 2014 and 2015. The annual rivalry between Holy Cross and Central Catholic, dubbed the Holy Bowl, will not be played for the next two seasons. Based on enrollment, Holy Cross and Central Catholic are members of different districts and alignments. Holy Cross will be in an eight team district. For the past two seasons the Holy Bowl has been played on week zero, the season opening game for both teams. After much discussion involving the coaches, athletic directors and school administrators, a date agreement could not be reached. Holy Cross sought a continuation of the week zero contest. Central Catholic sought later dates that conflict with the Gala, the major fundraising event for Holy Cross, or with its district schedule.
While Central leads the overall series 35 to 11, Holy Cross has won 6 of the last 10 contests-including the last 3 in a row. Since football games are scheduled on a two year cycle, Holy Cross loyalists anxiously look forward to resuming the Holy Bowl rivalry in 2016.
