They never quite broke out like Simeon, MP, Phillips, but for a while they were a wagon in the public league.
Under Jay McDonagh from 2012 - 2017 they played in multiple prep bowls, beat Argo, Bremen, Lyons, Gary Westside, Main East (not that any of those teams are dynasties but impressive volume for a CPS team). They lost to New Trier by a single point in the '14 playoffs and to Loyola by just a touchdown in the Prep bowl.
How did they collapse so badly? The school has ~3,000 kids. Not the best facilities, but at least a full-size practice field (unlike Phillips). They've won 4 games in the past 4 years.
In other news, anyone know where Jay McDonagh is now?
