The classes of 2022 and 2023 want to continue to honor their friend, classmate and teammate through the 2021-2022 season. 

Malachi Washington, a student of Bishop Ready and gifted Football Player passed away January 1, 2020. His football brothers continued to honor him by carrying his jersey onto the field during every game and placing it on their bench. This year they are being told by the athletic director that they can no longer honor him by carrying his number onto the field because “half the school doesn’t know him”. But half the school does, and everyone should know what a kind hearted, fun, wonderful kid he was!  

These boys have already been through enough and deserve to honor and respect their friend at every game of what would have been his senior year. Please sign this petition to allow our boys to honor their football brother and carry a piece of him with them at every game.
