Alumni stories

Reggie Ho, '89

1986 Cavanaugh (K)

When I initially tried to walk onto the ND football team in the fall of my sophomore year, quarterback Coach Pete Cordelli recommended that I start off by playing intramural football so I tried out for our interhall football team. I don't think there was any other kicker on the Cavanaugh team so I really didn't need to try out.  Although small, I was a little fast so the team also experimented with me as a wide receiver for a go route long bomb situation play and once in a game as a running back.  Never having played running back before, I was so excited that I outran my pulling guard during a sweep play to the right and was immediately cut down by the opposing defensive back.  Needless to say, I remained as kicker for the rest of the season.  We weren't very good but we tried hard and had fun.  I only had 1 kicking opportunity that season which was the 3-0 field goal against Alumni that you mentioned. We were playing at Stepan field and after both teams struggled to get points on the board, I had an opportunity to kick a 38 yard field slightly right from center. The snap and hold were great and fortunately hit it the ball well off the tee to score our only points.  After the kick, we were all excited jumping up and down.  At our hall Mass later in the evening, our Cavanaugh rector, Father Miceli praised our victory on the golden toe of Reggie Ho - it was a great team win.  I made great friends at Cavanaugh and will always remember those wonderful times. Thanks for allowing me to re-live those memories and your interest in interhall football at Notre Dame! Go Irish!
