A t h let ics Athletes follow in alumni footsteps Congratulations to the 2012 State Championship Football Team and individual state champion, Charlotte Pierce ’13 for her one mile victory. Marie Lemay ’07 was the last TA female to bring home a State Championship one-mile title. Below is the photo and quote that were in the 2007 yearbook. The last time the Golden Ball graced the Thornton Academy campus was in 1988 when Thornton beat Lawrence 43-13. Two years prior, the 1986 football earned the Championship title along with a perfect 10-0 season. Coach Dick Agreste earned Coach of the Year. The 1986 team was inducted into the TA Athletic Hall of Fame Awards in 2011. Our headmaster, Rene Menard was part of the 1986 team. Postscripts • 12
