It is with the heaviest heart that we let you know of the passing of our beloved Dr. Kevin “Doc” Rodgers. Doc was a selfless caring man who loved his family. We loved Doc and our hearts break without him. God Bless You, Doc
#IrishGroundBalls
(2/2) If we focus on the the way Doc and Kassie lived their lives, we can be inspired - to volunteer, to learn, to teach, to mentor, to coach, to travel, to cook, to smile, to love - let’s not just be thankful, let’s be inspired 🍀❤️🍀
We lost Doc Rodgers three years ago today ... it always hurts thinking about it ... his legacy and influence live on in the coaching staff and every Cathedral lacrosse player ... forever ... Miss you, Doc ❤️ 🙏 ☘️
Watching this crisis unfold thoughts go back to Doc Rodgers - his strength smarts and resolve - it is awesome to think about the hundreds of health care workers he trained with those same traits on the front lines today

- the Rodgers family is an inspiration and example of love and strength 🍀
We don’t know if the Irish will take the field in 2020, and that is OK. Feel blessed to have had the opportunity to play. When “normal” returns (which it will), make sure others have opportunities to health, life, and happiness - a lacrosse season is nothing in comparison ☘️
Tonight was to be Cathedral vs Carmel - for the past 15 years, this rivalry has defined high school lacrosse in Indiana (Carmel with the 8-7 reg season advantage). The crowds, the hype, THE RESPECT! Usually a
