Betsy Marentic, #19: St. Mary's Changed Her Son

students and alumni love the school, and the football parents love and support their Eaglets. While the team played on the field, Patch went into the stands to tell the stories of the parents who help make everything possible. The result is a collection of profiles, Eaglets in the Crowd.

Name: Betsy Marentic

Hometown: Commerce

Connection: Son Christian Marentic, #19, is a senior wide receiver/defensive back.

Favorite moment from the season: “Beating all of the other Catholic League teams and being here at Ford Field. It’s his senior year, so it’s special.”
