Aquinas Institute Little Irish Coach Extends Contract Through 2029
Aquinas Institute Little Irish head coach, Joe Ricotta, has signed a contract extension through 2029, securing his position at the helm of the program for the next four seasons. This move comes on the heels of back-to-back playoff runs, solidifying the Little Irish as a powerhouse in the New York State Public High School Athletic Association (NYSPHSAA) Class AA division. Ricotta's extension is expected to provide stability and continuity, allowing him to continue building a strong recruiting class and competing for sectional titles. The Little Irish have posted a combined 18-4 record over the past two seasons, and Ricotta's leadership has been a key factor in their success. With the 2026 season on the horizon, Ricotta's contract extension sets the tone for another competitive year in Rochester.
