Billy Ladner ’56, Jesuit’s 2018 Legend of the Game, addressed the football team before the Great American Rivalry and presented a coin to each senior player after his speech. Billy played wide receiver and defensive back for the Jays his sophomore and junior years and quarterback his senior season. Billy was a three-sport letterman at Jesuit excelling in football, baseball, and track. Billy’s 88-yard TD reception from Richie Petitbon in the 1954 thriller with Holy Cross stands as the longest pass completion in Jesuit’s history and the longest completion in the rivalry game.
