1960 Ronnie Ridolfi completed 12 of 17 passes for 157 yards

and rifled two of his three touchdowns to his twin brother, Tommy, to spark Saint Raphael Academy to a 33-0 drubbing of Pawtucket West in the 14th meeting of the cross-town rivals. Tommy, who inherited the “lonely end” job because of an injury to Charlie Fogarty, latched onto two of Ronnie’s scoring strikes covering 28 and 27 yards while Ernie Caron snagged a five-yard TD toss. Terry Mooney scored on a 17-yard dash and Jimmy Perreault, kid brother of former SRA standout Bobby Perreault, raced 21 yards to complete the touchdown parade.

1970 Light heavyweight Denny McNamee of Pawtucket

displayed good ability to take punches as well as hand them out as he continued his young professional boxing career by scoring a sixth round technical knockout over Charlie Hill in the main event on a five bout card at the R. I. Auditorium. McNamee unloaded a big right hand to the side of Hill’s head as the sixth round got under and with Hill slightly stunned applied the finishing touches with a series of hard punches to the head and body that had Hill in a dazed condition before referee Willie Pep halted the bout. Popular Bobby Desjardins of Woonsocket hiked his unbeaten record to four when he knocked out Woody Madison of Worcester at 35 seconds of the second round.

1990 Saint Raphael Academy’s Krysten Addison extended

her two-year unbeaten streak in dual meets by touring host Toll Gate’s hilly, 2.9-mile course in 18:01 as the Saints clinched their first-ever girls’ cross-country division championship taking the Central flag by beating Toll Gate 19-44 and arch-rival Tolman 14-47. Following Addison across the finish line were fellow SRA harriers Stella Kiras (19:29), Sandy Spremulli (19:37), Nycole Addison (19:43) and Kerru Bucko (19:48) in third through sixth place, respectively. The Tigers’ Dawn Camire was next in seventh place with a time of 19:52.
