Seeing you’re a Caravan fan can you imagine a Catholic League Conference with Mendel,St.Joseph,St.Francis De Sales,Seton Academy,Hales Franciscan,Weber & Guerin? That’d be something!!!!
Sad to see the school gone.They had some good playoff teams & a few others that would have gotten in.Sad to see that area go bad.I loved watching them play as you would also get a good snootful of Nabisco while watching Braves football.They also had a few years where they had some neat helmet stickers
Weber had a great football tradition. Two of MC's most memorable games during my time were against the Red Horde. IOt was a great school that didn't have to close. One of my dearest friends was a Weber grad and a very successful lawyer. He was oe of 30 or so Weber alums asked to put together a plan to save the school. They developed a plan but the goofy order of priests who ran Weber decided to close it and concentrate their efforts on Gordon Tech.
They’re still officially playing, just a glimmer of the good old days when they were top of the CCL
Leo is still going.They were actually supposed to get Quigley South but $$$$ won out.There were rumors years ago that Leo was supposed to move to either Orland Park or New Lenox
If the area kept growing there was going to be Lincoln Way South in Manhattan.I’m sad Rich East closed & even sadder what happened to those areas but glad Rich Township did not get Lincoln Way North like they wanted
Pioneers!!! Like Lincoln(also missed) so close to join the Flyers in winning state in football
And a helluva hoops team. They may only have 120 boys but 90 of them play sports.
I think that is the case at most of the catholic schools percentage wise right now on the southside.
Streator Woodland was mentioned on here earlier.Was at your playoff win vs them.2 very good teams.You had a awesome running back.You let that game vs Lexington get away from you.
The W on the helmets was ok but the Indian head logo would have been awesome on the helmets of Weber!!! I believe if memory serves me right I was at a Weber game at the end of the road vs St Laurence.I’m pretty sure the Vikings beat them 76-0 & Providence Catholic 77-0 earlier in the year & Gage Park beat them 20-6.Finished losing 21 in a row.Last win was in 96 vs SFDS 8-6 who also struggled
Small schools are my passion project. Have spent many, many, many hours on Illinois High School Glory Days reading up on lost schools
Im class of 92......played with Zaid, Skippy, and the Stissers.....LFA4Life....when were you there?
You guys were very good & I loved the logo on the helmets!!!
