Check this out: I found an old video of two quarterbacks getting into a fight.
Really weird, huh? Don't they know they could get hurt?

I think so... couple reasons
Vercelli wasn't even the best player on those baseball teams, they were so good and deep they win state titles without him..
Basketball vs wrestling, cant compare the two... Vercelli wins a state title, makes him one of best 14 wrasslers in the state... were there 14 better 2A basketball players better than Ruckmans?
He was on both teams that won baseball state for Wilmington. Also played at Northwestern, so yea.......I would say he was pretty good at baseball......and as far as the wrestling thing is concerned, winning state means that you are the best in your class at that weight. Anybody that wins state regardless of the sport or class is a pretty good athlete in my book.
Watched this match live. You gotta feel for Murphy! Three 2nd place finishes and a third.Check this out: I found an old video of two quarterbacks getting into a fight.

I too was there, Murphy had some great matches.Watched this match live. You gotta feel for Murphy! Three 2nd place finishes and a third.
But they won those baseball state titles because of Roark..
Tanner was a stud pitcher so obviously he had more of an impact in the game. Vercelli was his catcher and not a slouch at the plate by any means. Those two were probably in the top 5 best players in the state that year. Pretty sure they beat the AA champs in an exhibition game.
Matt Lottich was All State in basketball and baseball and a pretty damn good QB.
Erik Kumerow was All State football... damn good baseball and basketball. Also an uncle of the Bosa brothers ,I believe , so good genetics I guess.
Hey won the state title in discuss. I think he played basketball tooHey, MS4EVER,
Did Dave Butz do anything at MS besides football?
He’s a Belleville Boy now - we claim him.Hey won the state title in discuss. I think he played basketball too
But how would he do against 8A powers like LWE, LA and MS???Unfair. A Red Grange comes around like only once a century.

Fine. I will take this guy then:
Antwan Randle El was born in Riverdale, Illinois as the son of Curtis Randle El Sr., a food distributor, and Jacqueline, a day-care provider. Randle El was raised a Pentecostal Christian.[1] A Chicago Bears fan,[2] he attended Thornton Township High School in Harvey, Illinois, where he played football, basketball, and baseball.[3] He was a high school teammate of former NFL linebacker Napoleon Harris, as well as NBA center Melvin Ely and former NFL wide receiver Tai Streets.
After graduating from Thornton Township in 1997, Randle El was drafted in the 1997 Major League Baseball Draft, selected in the 14th round (424th overall) by the Chicago Cubs.[4]Despite this, he opted to pursue a football scholarship at Indiana University, despite being told he was too small during the recruiting process.[3]
Alex Pierce from Glenbard West is pretty outstanding at football and volleyball. Nate Rusk at LT was all conference as a WR/K, played basketball and high level club soccer.
Unless I missed seeing them listed, the Allen brothers from Hinsdale Central have to be on here.
No question great athletes.. I just would take the twins..
This year, if there is a better small school 3 sport athlete than Jarnagin from Herscher, I want to see it..
Haven't seen Jarnagin, sounds like a great athlete. I think my son would be in the small school 3 sport athlete team pic with him though. Steven Migut was an all state 4A dual threat qb for Unity. He is a 2 time all state track athlete to date, with 9 state medals,including first place as a freshman as an anchor in the 4x 200m relay, individually in the 110 hurdles 3rd & 6th in class 2A and 6th and 3rd in the 300 m hurdles from soph and junior year. He was also a 3 year varsity starting guard in basketball but is not playing bball this year as he recovers from shoulder surgery. He has committed to play football at Army, recruited as a qb.
I know he doesn't stack up to the elite athletes from days gone by, not saying he is at their level. However I'm doing the proud dad thing saying he has had a pretty good high school run as a small school 3 sport athlete.
Not usually into Dad's boasting about their kid(s), but that is an impressive career. I don't care what it is. Army....wow! May your son heal quickly and take advantage of that education and thank you for raising a young man that is willing to sacrifice for his country. To all of you that have or had sons or daughters go through the academies or enlist in our armed forces....thanks very much. All of you posters that have served thanks as well! Mr Migut, sounds like your son will make you even prouder as he moves forward. A very Merry Christmas and happy New Year to you and your family!Haven't seen Jarnagin, sounds like a great athlete.

Most of these posts are of 3-sport athletes in general, but the OP specifically said football/basketball/wrestling. Considering the latter two are in the same season and wrestlers usually are horrible hoops players, that's the real challenge. I can't think of one. Maybe a better question is the most obscure 3 sport domination. I can't think of many . I know a few really good swimmer/football players which isn't usual but 3 sport is tough
Football/basketball/wrestling is a very unusual combination, even at small schools. Playing basketball and wrestling at the same time is nearly impossible. However, I have seen athletes who quit one they were good at to play the other well...
Recent example: Wilmington's Sam Jones, grad last spring. Three year dressed varsity football, two year starter at left offensive end (does that make him a WR? TE? Glorified second tackle??) and defensive end/linebacker. Best Wildcat receiver in his class from 8th grade through high school. Moved from Reed Custer after 7th grade, was R/C's leading basketball scorer in 7th grade, played hoops until he was a junior, dressed varsity as a soph, second leading scorer as a junior. Played hoops all summer, then when football ended decided to wrestle with his brother Josh. Sam qualified for state in wrestling at 220 as a senior first year wrestler, key addition to the 2nd place Wildcats wrestling team....Also hit .400+ in baseball, 3 year starter...

Hey, MS4EVER,
Did Dave Butz do anything at MS besides football?
Good genetics is right the Bosa brothers are his nephews but his son Jake was a good WR at South Elgin in high school last year he played a few games for the Bengals and is currently on the Patriots practice squad.
Grandfather was infamous. Unfortunately his uncle Gomer on his fathers side passed recently.Kumerows biological father is Palmer Pyle brother of Mike Pyle who both played in the NFL. Can't forget his grandfather who was unique in his own way
Son of Lodi Vercelli who graduated from Wilmington in the early 70s and was an outstanding multi sport athleteVercelli was all state multiple times in football and baseball and was a state champ wrassler
