MIDLAND With six years of exponential growth for Holy Cross Catholic High School’s (HCCHS) enrollment and programs — the athletics program celebrates an exciting first for the school.
Jude Mendez, senior at Holy Cross has committed to playing football in the fall with St. John’s University in Collegeville, MN, an NCAA Division III institution.
Holy Cross is excited to announce Mendez’ commitment to St. John’s University football program and plans to host a commitment signing ceremony at 3 p.m. March 4 at the Holy Cross Tomlin Gymnasium.
Mendez’s athletic career at Holy Cross has excelled and led him to several honors in the TAPPS division over the last couple of years. Mendez helped lead the team to their first division playoff game this season, another reason for Holy Cross to celebrate.
“I thank everyone at Holy Cross Catholic High School for making this opportunity possible. I will always represent the Crusaders positively in the things I do on and off the field at Saint John’s University. I share this journey with all of you. Let’s go Cru!” Mendez said.
Coach Hosea Stredic joined HCCHS this 2024-2025 academic year and is pleased with the growth of the athletics programs. As he has watched all the young athlete’s growth, on and off the field, scripture is what he has turned to in learning of Jude’s commitment to St. John’s.
“Trust the process. Stay focused, work hard, and believe in yourself, but more importantly, trust in God’s word.” Coach Stredic continues with Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you, and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
