Impact Player for Romeoville
Romeoville senior OL/DL Tony Galloway 6-foot-3, 255 pounds has been a varsity starter and key performer since his sophomore season for the Spartans and head coach Justin Trovato. Galloway has drawn various FCS/D2 level recruiting attention and scholarship offers. Galloway has a jnice combination of size and strength and a frame that will allow him to add even more good weight and strength at the college level.
Looking or a sleeper name to watch this fall for Romeoville? Keep an eye on senior DE/RB Marc Thomas (6-foot-3, 230 pounds) has college level size. skills and physical tools to play on Saturday's at the college level next fall.
EDGY's Preseason Thoughts on the 2024 Romeoville Spartans
Romeovlle and head coach Justin Trovato struggled to a 1-8 season in 2023 as the Spartans decided to "go young" in 2023 and played a ton of underclassmen who gained valuable varsity seat time which will hopefully pay off this coming season. The Spartans are seeking a return visit to the IHSA state playoffs in 2024 which would be the programs first visit to the post-season since the 2013 season (5-5 record). Trovato has posted a 6-34 overall record in 5 seasons.
The biggest question facing Romeovlle this summer?
Can the Spartans finally turn things around for the better starting this season? Romeoville has been a program on decline for several seasons as the program has had to deal with declining overall numbers along with instability within the staff over the past decade or so. Romeoville head coach Justin Trovato has done a strong job of keeping this program in place and the program has seen a boost in lower level numbers the past few seasons. Fingers crossed this 2024 season becomes the first year of a several year turn around from a program that has had a ton of history and tradition in the Southwest suburbs for decades.
