Impact Player for Providence Catholic


Login to view embedded media
Providence Catholic senior safety Gavin Hagen (6-foot-1, 195 pounds) is a talented and hard hitting defender as well as a leader for the Celtics this season. Hagen, who has been on several recruiting radar screens this summer has a chance to develop into a high level player in my opinion. In many ways Hagen reminds me of former Marist and now Iowa S John Nestor.

Looking for a sleeper name to watch for Providence Catholic? Providence Catholic junior RB Xavier Coleman (6-foot-2, 200 pounds) is a big. strong and very athletic play maker who looks ready for a major breakout season in 2024.

EDGY's Preseason Thoughts on the 2024 Providence Catholic Celtics

Provid3nc3 Catholic and headn coach Tyler Plantz is looking to improve upon the Celtics 8-5 season in 2023. The Celtics in 2023 made the Class 6A state playoff field and defeated Morton, Hillcrest and Highland before losing to JCA in the Class 5A quarterfinals. Head coach Tyler Plantz has posted a 17-10 record entering his third season this fall as the Celtics head coach.

The biggest question facing Providence Catholic this summer?


Can the Celtics take the next few huge steps and win a state title in 2024? Providence Catholic welcomes back an abundance of talent for the 2024 season both at the cvarsity level as well as in the lower levels. Providence played a ton of underclassmen in 2023 (17 returning starters) and has a starting lineup that has deep varsity experience including post-season experience. Look for the Celtics to be one of the top teams in 5A/6A this season.

State Champ Predications

I watched almost all of the two Cary Grove-East St Louis championship games. I don't remember penalties playing a much of a role in the outcomes. I know the Flyers can have issues with personal fouls but thought both games were pretty clean. Last year, I think the Flyers had to play a Freshman QB much of the 2nd half because of an injury to Battle. I think that and Cary Grove's ability to grind out that last drive was more of a factor than penalties/discipline.

State Champ Predications

Just to clarify, when ESL scores or win its talent, when ESL get scored on or lose, its Discipline?
Talent is never an issue with EStL. Discipline is the issue. So many penalties are not called on ESt.L that should cripple them. That is coaching. Are they just inept and can't learn to play the game the correct way? Their talent lets them win games but if they have a bad game, TO's or terrible weather, that talent will not cover their mistakes and penalties.

Just Thought we can have some fun here with this new conference. Get some predictions going for week 1. I think where are going to be some really interesting match ups this year in this mash-up of conferences. Pick a winner rank em if you want.

The Hun School of Princeton @ MC (Week 1)

Max Preps is a joke. From reporting false games & false scores as well as ridiculously inaccurate rosters. Example: There is a very small private boarding school down the street from me that is lucky to put 25 players on the field each year. They start the season this week. It says they lost 31-0 last week which is not true. It says they have a robust roster of 48 which would be immaculate but the reality sadly is they only have 21 kids playing. Some of the kids listed are coaches!!!! This happens each year. I see it too with people reporting scores with CPS games for example.
Anyone can sign up to report scores/rosters

The New CS8.... 2024 Schedule

Aside from the fact he is a kleptomaniac and left a school at the worst possible time? I am hearing this had to do with a dispute he had with the kids working at the fair. A rather petty reason to bail especially when it’s not above him to simply steal stuff from the Treasurer’s vault which he could have used to help with funds, as he’s been known to do.

A reason I just have trouble believing with the fact 186 has dumped a lot of money into Lanphier and Southeast to fix facilities.
yep, what I figured. you have no clue on 'exactly' what happened.
