Basketball Finals - Anybody notice what I notice

[USD24]

The Crusaders will play for a rare back-to-back football and boys basketball state championship. The only other metro-east high school to pull off this rare football-basketball back to back state title in the same school year was Carlyle way back in 1988-89, led by future Illini great Tom Michael and current Columbia High AD Scott Horner.

Has any other school in the state ever done that? I couldn't find one. After a quick look, I could only find a small number of schools that have ever won both a hoops and football title in their history.

Stevenson Makes History With Football & Basketball State Titles In Same School Year

When the finals seconds ticked off on Stevenson High School’s 57-40 victory over Normal Community in the 2015 IHSA Class 4A Boys Basketball State Championship game, the victory was significant not only for the Patriot basketball team, but also for its football squad. The Stevenson football team...

Althoff and DePaul Prep both have a chance to do it this year.

AND they won the boys' 2A soccer title this fall.

Sadly, they have no pitching or depth for baseball or track.

 

[StormFire]

Agree. That said, not in the same season (yet) but DePaul has won state in both basketball and football in their history.

Brother Rice should pose a huge basketball hurdle to getting both this school year.

 

[PowerI66]

DePaul about to do it as well

FYI - Bryden Gryzmala is the leading scorer ... they are more than Dierre.

Althoff was compared to Diary of a Wimpy Kid, lol! And it is true!

He did it again!

Congrats Eagles!

Foul trouble doomed althoff. Dierre, winkles and Patton all fouled out

 

[crusader_of_90]

They were not hitting shots. It happens. Very nice season!
