Impact Player for Newman Central Catholic
Newman Central Catholic senior RB/DB Brady Grennan was a very solid two way performer in 2022 for the Comets in 2022 and will be asked to again provide both production and leadership on and off the field this fall. Grennan has good speed, plays with an impressive football IQ and is no question a key name this season.
EDGY's Quick Take on the 2023 Newman Central Catholic:
Newman Central Catholic and head coach Mike LeMay was able to get the Comets into the IHSA state playoff field in his first season leading this historical small school power program in the State of Illinois. The Comets finished the regular season 5-4 then lost in Class 2A opening round action to Rockridge.
The biggest question I have for Newman Central Catholic in 2023? Can the Comet reload at a few key positions (QB/DL) and still remain at the top of the Three Rivers conference and beyond? The graduation loss of QB JJ Castle and OL/DL Hayden Witt this spring is big for Newman Central Catholic, but this program always seems to find a way to reload.
