Join us Nov. 14 as we honor the 1975–76 Boys Soccer Team as they are inducted into the Bishop O’Connell High School Athletic Hall of Fame!

After finishing 4–12 the previous season, the Knights went 17–2 and captured the NOVA Championship with a 6–3 victory over Wakefield, one of the greatest turnarounds in school history.

Led by Hall of Fame Coach Kelvin Joseph, the team featured All-Met selections Chris Davin and Jim Babashak, along with standouts Al Moniz, Ronnie Shea, and goalkeeper Bryan Bishop.

Their championship season helped elevate O’Connell soccer into one of Northern Virginia’s premier programs and launched a tradition of excellence that continues today.

One Day All Knights is not over yet.

Today has been an incredible show of support for the students and the school we all love. But there is still time to make your impact.

Our Knights are committed to lifting each other up as they grow, serve, and lead every day. Your gift to the Knight Fund strengthens that community and builds on a legacy nearly 70 years strong.

Hear directly from our students about the memories and traditions that shape their experience and see how your support makes it all possible.

Whether you are giving back or paying it forward, your gift ensures the O’Connell community continues to thrive.

Make your gift by midnight. Build a Knight.

We’re halfway through One Day All Knights, and now is the time to step in and make your impact.
Faith isn’t just something students learn about. It is something they live. In classrooms, on teams, and in both the quiet moments and the big ones, our Knights are growing into who they are called to be.
Your gift makes those moments possible and builds a legacy of faith that lasts far beyond their time here.
Today, your impact is doubled. Thanks to a generous group of families, every dollar will be matched up to $85,000.
Do not wait. Give now. Build a Knight.

Alumni Spotlight: Sydney Smith ’22 was featured in a story from Virginia Military Institute on how she balances all she does at the institution. Her involvement with Keydet Water Polo with hours in the pool to the demands of the Corps, Sydney Smith ’22 says she has built a second family, taken on leadership roles, and pushed herself to grow in every arena.

Her time at VMI has prepared her to manage challenges, support her teammates, and stay focused on her goals — now she’s ready to commission into the U.S. Air Force as a combat systems officer.
