ERICFRANKLIN’09

FOOTBALL, BASKETBALL, TRACK & FIELD

Eric Franklin was a 2008 All-State selection as a free safety for the Friars football team. He was also tabbed 1st Team All-Baltimore City, All-MIAA and 2nd Team All-Metro by The Baltimore Sun. Franklin recorded 75 tackles, six interceptions, nine pass breakups and one fumble recovery in 2008 helping Curley to an 8-3 record. The team captain’s versatility was also on display as he caught 13 passes and posted three TDs as a tight end.

Franklin was a 3-sport athlete also playing basketball and running track & field and was named The Fr. Julian “Athlete of the Year” in 2009.

Franklin would go on to be a four-year letter winner for the University of Maryland football team. He appeared in 40 career games at safety, starting 25 of those contests. As a junior, he led the team in solo tackles (64) and total tackles (106). During his final season as a Terrapin, Franklin recorded 48 tackles, six pass breakups and recovered one fumble. He remains involved in football and is currently an assistant coach for Cornell University after stints at UPenn, Washington and Lee, and Johns Hopkins.

DEONTEHARTY’15

FOOTBALL, BASKETBALL, TRACK & FIELD

As a senior, Deonte Harty was named the 2014 Varsity Sports Network Offensive Player of the Year for football. He earned All-Conference and All-State honors and was selected to The Baltimore Sun’s AllMetro 1st Team. Harris led the Friars to the MIAA B Conference Championship and the first undefeated football season in school history. The running back recorded 2,030 yards of total offense for the season with 25 touchdowns in 10 games. In the 2014 MIAA Championship game, Harty had 211 total yards, scoring five touchdowns in a 56–14 victory over St. Paul’s.

After Curley, the elusive playmaker attended Division II Assumption College where he would go on to set the NCAA record (regardless of division) for combined touchdown returns with 14. He holds nine Assumption records including most career touchdowns (45) and most all-purpose yards (6,173). Harty went undrafted after completing his college career but was signed as a rookie free agent by the New Orleans Saints shortly after the 2019 NFL draft. He finished his rookie season as the leader in punt returns, combined returns, and punt return yards and was selected to the Pro Bowl. In addition to the Saints, Harty has also played in the NFL for the Buffalo Bills and Baltimore Ravens.

DR.DAVIDLUMSDEN’79

CROSS COUNTRY, TRACK & FIELD, ASSISTANT COACH & TEAM PHYSICIAN

Dr. Lumsden has contributed to Curley’s athletic program in so many ways. He was a member of the cross-country and track & field teams, including part of the 1978 cross- country squad that completed an undefeated regular season and captured a divisional crown. He would also go on to become a Mason Dixon conference champion in track at Towson State University. Dr. Lumsden also holds the distinction of being Curley’s longest tenured assistant coach as he helped fellow Hall of Famer, Gene Hoffman, with the running sports for four decades. However, the orthopedic surgeon’s biggest impact on the school’s athletic program could well be the countless years he has volunteered his time and expertise to serve Curley athletes in his role as the team physician. “Dave has been an incredible gift to Curley over the last 25 years,” says longtime Curley Athletic Trainer Marty McGinty. “He always makes himself available to our kids regardless of the time or day of the week. Dave truly believes that in giving, he receives.” Dr. Lumsden is a member of the USA Martial Arts Hall of Fame and runs the martial arts club at Curley for students.

DOSTYSERAFIN’71

TRACK & FIELD, BASKETBALL

While Dosty Serafin stood out to his teammates because of his physical stature and athleticism, he was often referred to as a “gentle giant” due to the Franciscan values that he modeled. He was a solid player on the basketball court, but it was in track & field where his talent set him apart. Serafin was dominant in the discus and shot-put events, setting a school record in the latter that stood for over 30 years. He was the MSA Shot Put champion in 1971, his senior season. Serafin would continue to excel at Towson State College where he once again dominated in the field events. As a Tiger, he also added the hammer throw to his repertoire of events. Serafin would set school records in three throwing events at Towson, including a Mason Dixon Conference record with a shot-put throw of 49’6”. After graduating from Towson, Serafin turned his attention to competitive power lifting and won titles in Maryland, Delaware, and Wyoming.

REIDSIPES’76

SOCCER

According to Curley Soccer coach “Poppa Joe” Loftus, Reid Sipes was “one of the finest halfbacks he had seen or coached.” Sipes was known to dominate the center of the field from his halfback position. He was also a force in the air and was moved up to forward at times when the team needed a goal. Sipes was a three-year starter on the varsity. He was named All-MSA three times and All-City as a junior. A standout senior season in 1975 saw the difference maker earn Baltimore Sun All-Metro 1st Team honors. Sipes would go on to play two seasons at Essex Community College where he would be named All Conference and lead the Knights to third and fifth place finishes in the JUCO Nationals. Sipes played an additional season at Loyola College.

1975 POLAND TOUR SOCCER TEAM TEAM OF DISTINCTION

The Curley soccer team under the leadership of “Poppa Joe” Loftus and Bob Doerfler was chosen by the National Soccer Coaches Association to play international games in Europe. Their selection was based on good performance and sportsmanlike behavior over a period of years. The 23member squad traveled to Poland and visited 13 cities including Warsaw, Wroclaw, Szczecin, and Poznan covering 2,500 miles by bus over three weeks. Curley finished 4-2-1 on the trip, having attained the best record of any soccer team that had traveled overseas at that time. In addition to the soccer matches, the tour included many sightseeing excursions, briefing sessions, and cultural exchanges.

The team: Paul Andrzejczuk, Tony Barber, John Bourgeois, Joe Doerfler, Ray Ford, Tim Forte, Mark Johnson, Dave Kozlowski, Marty Loftus, Rick Loftus, George Maex, Denny McGrath, Jerry O’Keefe, Mike Raborg, Brian Lipsky, Matt O’Neill, Frank Savarese, Robert Savarese, Don Schlimm, Ron Szczybor, Joe Wojciechowski, Marty Wolf, and Jerome Wysocki Chaperones: Al Strubinger, John Burke, and Dave Malinowski
