Phil Adler (RB) from Wheaton Central (now WWS). The red-headed human bowling ball (5' 7) was impossible to tackle. Huge thorn in the side of the Huskies. We won a state title his senior year (1992), yet we couldn't beat him and his Tigers. Joliet Catholic fans will remember him in the 1992 double OT title game loss to Wheaton Central/ Warrenville South. Phil was also a standout in baseball and wrestling. JCA had a pretty good RB as well that year (Mike Alstott).
Yep. My bad. Matt Larsen with over 2,000 yards in 1992. Alstott was 1991.I agree with your statement about Adler...however, Alstott was not on the 1992 JC team. He was already gone to Purdue. JC's running backs were Matt Larsen, who was a load. and Mike Sopko. Very good JC team.
That I played against: Tom Brady, MorrisWho was the player that played against your team that always was tough to play against?

Cleveland was an absolute beast. 6'1 240 and the fastest kid on the team. In basketball, Shepard was the only team that held Eddie Curry under 10 points, most of it because of Cleveland's defense.Jon Cleveland, Running Back at Shepard in the early 2000's and Pierre Thomas at T.F. South, I think PT had like 8 carriers for 250 yards and 4 TDs my senior year at OLCHS. The Richards team my junior year was stacked but ran into the buzzsaw that was PC in the state final.
