BC to play third annual ‘Red Bandana Game’ in honor of former lacrosse player who saved over a dozen people on 9/11

Boston College is hosting its third annual Red Bandana Game to honor Welles Crowther, a former BC lacrosse player. During the 9/11 attacks, Crowther repeatedly entered the World Trade Center to save over a dozen people instead of escaping. He lost his life during the collapse while wearing his signature red bandana. In recognition of his heroic actions and sacrifice, Crowther has been posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, as reported by NBC News.
