DARTMOUTH — Ryan Sylvia no longer calls the shots on the football field. He now leads from behind the scenes.

The former Old Rochester star quarterback hung up his cleats in 2004 after a brilliant career at Springfield College, where he finished second all-time in rushing yards with 3,064.

With his playing days behind him, Sylvia set out to find a job that would incorporate his leadership qualities and passion for sports. He found exactly what he was looking for at Bishop Stang.

Earlier this summer, Sylvia was hired to replace Peter Shaughnessy, who was promoted to principal after one year as the school's athletic director.

"Being in a leadership role is definitely something I enjoy," said Sylvia, a New Bedford native. "A professional goal of mine has been to be an administrator and be in a leadership role. I kind of thrive on that type of position.

FALL RIVER

One day medical staff worked to save a child with internal worms so severe the worms could be seen moving under the child’s skin.

The next day they were in another village where the children gathered to sing Happy Birthday, in English and Swahili, celebrating with Elizabeth Rockett on the day she turned 17.

And on Monday Kathy Crosson lined up 42 suitcases in the backyard of her Highlands home to wash them with her garden hose so they will be ready for next year.

“It was so wonderful and so intense,” Crosson said. “There is so much need."
