Cary Grove
Neil Britt - QB
Alex Kube - RB/LB
Tyler Pennington - RB/LB
Trevor Ruhland - OL

No idea on Britt but I'd think Bruce Kay would have a spot? No? And yes coaches are included as well.

I didn’t think about coaches. Bruce Kay for sure. I believe Britt (79) set some temporary state passing records before going on to Ball State. I’m sure there are more but I’m starting up from my remembrance.

 

[rocketnation]

Rochester
Derek Leonard- HC
Zach Grant- WR/DB
Garret Dooley- RB/LB
Hank Beatty- WR/QB

If an expansion was considered, the next four would be Wes Lunt (QB), Nic Baker (QB), Evan Sembell (RB/LB), and Avante Cox (WR/DB).

 

[missingwalter]

Oswego -
Carl Hoinkes - HC (two state titles)
Ken Pickerall - former coach/AD and friend of the program

[Bowie50]

poorman
Schwantz
Lazowski
Tolzien
Sponsel

I believe the ‘92 team got the furthest of any fremd team. Semis I believe, but I could be totally wrong. Your thoughts @PowerI66 ?

Played hoops against Poorman in HS, he was strong as BULL.

I went to college with someone who knew him. Did Poorman once win a basketball playoff game with a half court shot?

It's possible, they were good during his years and a couple years after. We beat them two years in a row in the super-sectionals.

 

[godfthr53]

I see counting isn't some of your strong suits.

 

[ClownBaby]

Palatine:
Joe Petricca - HC
Mike Burden - LB (Ohio State)
Sergio Lund - QB/DB/Coach
Zach Oles - QB

Others: Len Rhode, Yaacov Yisrael, Jesse Bobbit, Bubba Mariani

Mike Burden is the best high school player I ever saw/ played against, he was on a whole different level then anyone else.

 

[PowerI66]

Love the Bubba pick. He was so fast. Heklinski?

I knew somebody would remind me of the name. I was totally blanking on him

I don't think Fremd has ever made it past the quarters. I would add both Walkers to that mix as well. Christian Lombard, too.

 

[sporthog9er]

LWC: Corey Paus, Ninkovich, Casey Paus, Glielmi HC, Gremely

 

[eastfan9]

Lincoln Way East (This should be a good debate)

Obviously Coach Zvonar is a lock, but I wanted to go with players on this one.

AJ Henning WR/RB
Anthony Kropp QB
Devin O'Rourke DE
Nick Allegretti OL

Just missed the cut: Adam Gettis OL, Kyle Langenderfer LB, Tom Fuessel QB, Al Mau CB, Ezra Thompson S

It's weird not picking Gettis since he played in the NFL, but his HS career was decent.

 

[crusader_of_90]

After a kid graduates school, can we actually start telling the truth about accomplishments compared to potential?

(I remember getting a time out for pointing out that X-player would never play in the backfield of a Big Ten he was committed to, but that was championship week. I ultimately was correct.)

MC...
Frank Lenti
Simeon Rice
Bobby Sanders
Jerry Schumacher

Bill Lange needs to be on there over Sergio or Oles

 

[kpjasion]

Palatine:
Joe Petricca - HC
Mike Burden - LB (Ohio State)
Sergio Lund - QB/DB/Coach
Zach Oles - QB

Others: Len Rhode, Yaacov Yisrael, Jesse Bobbit, Bubba Mariani

I'd put Mariani or Bobbit ahead of Lund, but otherwise good list.

 

[septon34]

St Rita
Marek
Lick
Zavagnin
Weyer

Brown had a very good chance to make the list if not for COVID

 

[bhawks]

Palatine:
Joe Petricca - HC
Mike Burden - LB (Ohio State)
Sergio Lund - QB/DB/Coach
Zach Oles - QB

Others: Len Rhode, Yaacov Yisrael, Jesse Bobbit, Bubba Mariani

Hecklinski Brothers? Bill Lange?

 

[McCaravan]

St Rita
Marek

Zavagnin
Weyer

Foley?

 

[McCaravan]

Let me think a bit outside the box when it comes to MC. It's too easy to say Lenti, McNabb, Rice and Lynch. McNabb and Rice had great College and Pro Careers and Lynch was a Heisman Finalist and came back to win State as a Coach for MC, but I'm picking 3 players that really left there mark their entire time at MC....won multiple rings...and just dominated. Lenti is obviously there.....So I'll go with

Coach Frank Lenti- Can't have a MC Mount Rushmore without him

Don Dorham- MC All time leading rusher. 3 State Rings.

Mike McGrew- All time leading passer, ran the option to near perfection. 3 State Rings.

Jerry Schumacher- His senior year at OLB was the most dominating performance by a defensive player at MC I've seen. State Champion.

Hon Mention for Rushmore Part 2- Steve Filer.....Jalen Grant.....Kenenna Odeluga....Greg Owens

Certainly, Tom Carey and Ziggy Czarobski (you can google him) would be among the four.

Post em here.

I would put Ken Anderson from Batavia at the top of my list

 

[McCaravan]

Mine are players that I’ve seen. If I had to add some old timers I’d put Carey and Frank Pinn.

 

[Anomalyout28]

Lake Park
1. Scott Kellar (NIU, Indianapolis Colts)
2. Mike Panasiuk (Michigan State, Currently with LV Raiders)
3. Perrion Winfrey (Currently with Oklahoma Sooners)
4. Antonio Shenualt (U. of Minnesota)
I look forward to the debate from the one or two people (Where have you been LancerDB Coach?) on this board who follow Lake Park. I am not that old and know little about LP football prior to the mid1980's.

I picked Shenault over Jacob Panasiuk (who is one of the top edge rushers in the country at Michigan State) because of HS productivity. Shenault was the best HS safety I have seen at playing the run and dominated games flying up and making tackles as if he was a LB. There were games were teams maybe ran away from Jacob and he didn't have the effect Antonio did. If LP played him both ways, say at tight end, he would have dominated games like Antonio.

 

[bronco19]

Montini

Andriano
B Westerkamp
J Westerkamp
Goebel

HM Joe Hyland, Mucha

 

[PowerI66]

I'd put Mariani or Bobbit ahead of Lund, but otherwise good list.

It's hard for me to do that when the guy has both coached on varsity for many years and played so well. But who knows, Bobbit may come back. He's coaching at Washington State right now

No Wes Lunt? Wow...
