THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES COACH HUNT |
|
After 15 years as the Head Football Coach for Cardinal Ritter High School, leading the Raiders to 5 State Championship Game appearances and winning 3, Ty Hunt has reached this pinnacle of excellence and has decided to pursue other challenges. In the quest of winning, Coach Hunt has always remained steadfast in teaching the importance of family, education and most importantly Cardinal Ritter High School’s Catholic values.
The Cardinal Ritter community is forever grateful for the many years of guidance Coach Hunt has given to not just the players on the team but the entire Raider community. He will be missed immensely but we wish him well in his decision to go in another direction in his football coaching journey.
Thank you Coach Hunt for all of the memories and the legacy of greatness you have left behind for the Raiders to aspire to.
