Quigley's Athletic Hall of Fame
2004 Inductees

Patrick McGrath
Q '42

When leadership accompanies talent in an athlete, it is something special.  Pat's basketball skills were among the best during what some believe was the golden age of Quigley Basketball.  Pat's "fighting Irish spirit" sparked the team to many victories.  Some contend that by example, Pat taught George Mikan how to play the game.

Rev. Bill Sheridan
Q '47

Athletic director and coach of the hockey and swimming clubs are a few of the many roles that Fr. Bill Sheridan had during his 38 years as a Quigley faculty member.  Pick a decade, then ask an alumnus from that decade to tell you who defines Quigley Athletics. The answer is Fr. Bill Sheridan.   His involvement in Quigley athletics as a member of the faculty at Quigley ('57-'67), Quigley North ('62-'90") and Archbishop Quigley ('91-'95) has led decades of students to call him Quigley's "Super Fan."

Dr. Greg Ratay
QN '67

This 6 foot 2 inch guard is described by coaches as one of, if not the best, pure shooter ever at Quigley North.   Greg Ratay averaged more than twenty points a game in his sophomore through senior years.   As a senior, his average of 31.6 points per game included single-game totals of 37, 40, 42, 44, and 51.  The highlight was a 53 point performance against a tough, talented rival in the Quigley South Rebels.  To further cement his place as premiere "shooting marksman," Greg garnered the varsity team free-throw trophy with a 70% average.

Andy Dziadkowiec
Q '86

Andy Dziadkowiec wore the Blue & Gold Spartan baseball jersey on the varsity level all four years.  Scouts frequently watched the Quigley South catcher throw out base runners and punish the ball with the bat.   He holds the school record of 81 RBI over four years.  Andy is 1st or 2nd in 6 offensive categories on Quigley South's alltime list.  During his junior and senior years combined he battled .347 and acquired a .538 OBP.  His legendary home run at Quigley South was launched over the right-field fence onto 79th Street, more than 380 feet.  After high school, Andy played 7 years of minor league baseball, 5 with the Toronto Blue Jays organization, and 2 with the N.Y. Mets organization.
