FGR Aiming to Get Back to the Breslin Stage

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Coming off an impressive 24-2 season that ended just short of a return trip to the Breslin Center, Father Gabriel Richard enters the 2024–25 campaign with renewed focus and determination. After falling in the regional finals to the eventual state champions, FGR has its sights firmly set on redemption. With a talented core of returning players, strong leadership, and a program built on discipline and togetherness, the Irish are poised to make another deep postseason run as they chase their goal of getting back to the state's biggest stage.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["613426"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68f8f448c8696"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Commit: Western Michigan Commit</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>"One of the best players in the State.
