ORLANDO LEAGUE WINS CARDINAL COOKE SWEEPSTAKES AWARD

The national CFL officers have acknowledged that the Terrance Cardinal Cooke award, which is presented annually to the diocese with the highest number of cumulative sweepstakes points at the end of each national tournament, should have been presented to the Diocese of Orlando (it was incorrectly presented to the Diocese of Palm Beach, which won the award in 2004). Congratulations to all member schools of the North Florida CFL, whose students earned points at nationals over the past ten years to win this award.
