A legendary American football squad existed at a Catholic high school.
Every year, the team played in the state championship game, which they generally won easily. Every capable young man within a few hundred miles desired to play football with the Central Catholic Fighting Knights.
Those who knew the program knew that the true heart and soul of the Knights football program was Sister Mary Margaret, an elderly nun who would get out on the practice field in full habit and work on routes with the receivers, give pointers to the quarterbacks on their stances and releases, but most importantly, love them like the second mother that she became to all of the boys in that program.
On the eve of the state championship game one year, some wicked men broke into the convent and kidnapped Sister Mary Margaret. The news surprised everyone, but none more than the Knights of Central Catholic. They were grieved at their mentor’s death.
The state championship game, as you can expect, did not go well. The Knights were shut out for the first time in the program’s existence. They were defeated 42-0 by the Spartans.
The next day, the headline on the local sports section read, “No Offense, Nun Taken.”
