Leadership was a characteristic of Thomas “Tommy” Edward Bateman, Jr. who passed away suddenly in November of 2013. Tommy was a leader on and off the football field/wrestling mat. Through his inspiration and determination, he mentored and coached many students, friends and family members. The legacy of Tommy Bateman will continue through the Tommy Bateman Memorial Scholarship Fund, which will provide need-based tuition assistance to a Father Ryan student.
