Back at Archbishop Wood High School near Philadelphia, Pitts did double duty as a nimble defensive end capable of darting around the edge, blowing up the run game, or backpedaling into coverage as his unit required. Devlin loved the results. There was the 2016 city playoff game that Pitts broke open by forcing a fumble and tipping an interception, both of which were returned for scores.

The Ambassador’s Fund for Catholic Education invited grant proposals to its online portal on Tuesday, April 6 for a second round of funding to be awarded in the 2021-22 academic year. The deadline for applications is 11:59 p.m., May 3.
The Wayne-based charitable organization awarded almost $583,000 in eight grants to Catholic schools and organizations from its first proposal cycle last fall. This funding is in addition to approximately $115,000 previously designated for the second year of four multi-year grants.
Grantees include four first-time proposal applicants: Archbishop Wood High School, Merion Mercy Academy, La Salle College High School and the National Shrine of Our Lady of Czestochowa. They join previous awardees Independence Mission Schools and Sophia Institute for Teachers in funding awarded at the fund’s board meeting in January.
