I don’t know if you could classify Alstott as a FB in high school. He was all RB.
starting lineup of your all-time favorite players for your school
- Thread starter septon34
- Start date
Yeah I was going to mention that also.
We might have to go back to the mid 70's and use Rick Thayer at fullback, that man was a beast.
Agreed. I was going off the rules of the exercise. It said FB (Power Back) and he certainly fits that description. But agree that he was definitely not a true blocking FB.
Did Zaleski sign with ND? If so, where did he go after leaving ND?
great list btw. Growing up at 90th & California, Zvagnin was a legend
Wilmington
I am picking who I think some of the bests are at these positions. Not necessarily who I enjoyed watching. I know there were threads in the past about your teams best, but I never did it. So same thing whatever.
Also Tried not to pick anyone for more than one position.
1. QB - Not much to choose from here, Not known for our passing.
Casey Drown HM Dillon Roark
2. WR/RB Going with 4 RB (No particular order), then one WR pick.
Damien Anderson, Brady Wilkins, Jason Banning, Owen Weaver RBs Ryan Friddle at WR HM Cort Scheel
3. FB (power back) - Kind of cheating since it says powerback, dont think my pick was a FB but he ran damn hard.
Jeremy Bailey HM Kyle Dillon
4. OL - Jake Agamy, Chris Cunnings, Older (Matt?) Lyday, Derek Romano, Derek Kirchner HM Bryan Flood Mike Denninger
5. TE - Alex Zlomie
6. DL/LB - Lodi Vercelli, Tony Vercelli, Steve Lairomaitis, Mike Flores, Nick Meents Andy Cooper Chris Molle HM Brett Farmer
7. DB - TJ Hansen, John Vanduyne, Mason Southall, Tim Talley HM Steve St Jean
8. Special Teams - Shane Longest

8. Special Teams - Shane Longest
Shane Longest will forever be in the Manteno record books. Manteno played Wilmington in its very first home football game in 2002. In the very first ever field goal attempt in a varsity game at Manteno High School, Longest crushed a 52 yarder...
Love the Mike Yacullo pick. May want to add Brian Faut OL and Mike Durham OL
Shane played with my son at SXU and we watched him routinely kick 75 yard field goals when warming up before the game. Crazy good. I was hoping when he tried out with the Bears he would make the team but back then they still had Robbie.
Good call, but never saw the Dooley's play. They did coach me in grade school and a few at LA. Studs!
And even Billy "Fudd" Phelan would tell you he should not be on that list. Also, the best player for MC in the 1990s was Don Veronesi who was all Catholic League first team in 3 spots: WR, DB and Punter.

I don’t think I would change a name on this list. I would just add Prikos at RB. Nice to see 2 of my fellow co-captains from the ‘94 team on the list 😉 Just spoke with SC the other day. He was a bad mutha!

I was living in California, a confirmed Raiders fan, so I never saw those ferocious MC/SR games. This thread made them come alive. When I moved back here in the '90s, it was hard to get games on TV. Now, of course, all the finals and the highlights of the playoffs are readily available on YouTube, which is a tremendous resource for those of us who left town for a while.
Agree with a lot of your names. I think there is room for Bill Reardon and Tom sylvester Mark Matelski.
I heard his reYeah I was going to mention that also.

tim duet
I would definitely have the great guard Jack Badovinac. A truly dominating lineman. Captain, first team all state, CCL blue and offensive MVP his senior year. Has started 31 of 34 games at Colgate. On the defensive side, defensive tackle Charlie Pontarelli. Another first team all state mauler who was an unbelievable destructive force.
Taking nothing from the Hilltoppers previously mentioned, but a few names that deserve to added (and there are many more)
QB: John Gromos, Mark Parker, John Keirnan, Jim Carlson, Steve Duchene
RB: Rick Thayer, Mike Condon, Phil Marchio, John Larsen
OL: Tom Gullickson, Todd Moore, John Fay, Pat Lennon, Mike McGann, Greg Reiser, Don McGraw, Eric Gray
DL: Pat Mudron, Jeff Simon, Bob Paul, Jack Skole, Brian Udovich
LB: Roger Hewlett, Ed Rompa, Todd Parker
DB: Jordan Jones, Carl Hunkler, Paul Carbery
K: Isaac Grasshoff
P: Jeff Meader

I'm not a JCA fan but......Mike Alstott vs the world. He was un
Mike Alstott was unstoppable once the 3rd quarter started. You might be able to tackle that big of a human as a 17 year old for a quarter or two.....game over after that!

Frank Pinn has got to be on this list? Could be best player in the history of this dynasty. Ranked #3 all time athlete at MC night of champions a few years back.
Donald Dorham (spelling?) was the All-Time leading rusher at MC as of the early 2000’s. That has to earn a spot on the list, especially at a school that ran an offense that rushed the ball almost exclusively.
And any Carmel D-line needs to have Ola Ali. Gets overshadowed because he played next to Simeon Rice was a couple year, but he was a much more impactful player at the time
Octavious Bond and Chris Calloway shoud also be on the receiver list
He was solid but probably not an all timer. He had a good collegiate career too. I think Keenan Haley is close to that list.
