   Cortese was just 10 when Lione died six years ago at age 59 and never got to meet Lione, But it's hard to attend Trinity Catholic and not get a feel for what Lione meant, both on the playing field and off, to the community.
   ...
   "Unfortunately I have little knowledge about him because I was only 10 when he died, but I can tell what he meant to this school," Cortese said.
   ...
   And they're two that have helped make Cortese a potential star at TCHS.Cortese saw time on the varsity football team as a freshman and really came into his own last fal with Crusaders, who finished 1-10.Cortese, who also plays hockey, was named honorable mention All-Fairfield County Interscholastic Athletic Conference after his sophomore season as the Crusaders' starting offensive guard and linebacker.Cortese performed well despite the most difficult of circumstances."It was tough," he said of the team's losing ways."When you put in a lot of hard work and don't see much success, it's hard.We hit rock bottom, though, so with only four seniors last year and so much youth, we can only get better.
   
   Cortese won't say that football is his favorite sport."It depends on what season it is," he said.Cortese is looking forward to taking his position on the blue line as one of the Crusaders' top defensemen.
   
   Cortese, who came up through the Stamford Youth Hockey Association, played varsity hockey as both a freshman and a sophomore.Cortese says he is playing in a summer hockey league and is also playing some non-contact football.He is also spending a lot of time in the weight room, preparing for the football season.His long-term goal is to eventually play college football."There's a lot to look forward to," he said.
