Your Favorite HS Football Player When You Were a Little Kid

Had a heart of gold though. Hung with him a bit back in the day, great guy!
I'm not going to throw his name out there, but I'm sure you know him and probably not for the right reasons. He was pretty close to Damian.
I was probably in 6th or 7th grade but Joey Goodspeed of Oswego was my football camp counselor. That dude was a monster in high school. Ended up playing at ND and in the NFL. Manchild. So fun to watch when he was in high school.
A few pretty good RBs coming out of Oswego back then. Absolutely, top of the list was Goodspeed back then-but others like Wulf and Bailey had success also, but Goodspeed was a different level. I was probably a Runkle fan out of Yorkville-later was fortunate to play with his brother, Vaughn also of Yorkville, Perez & Sweeney LBs of West Aurora, David Zeitz and Jaime Wu of St. Charles, Forrest and Kreitz of Waubonsie Valley, Ruff, Hultgren and Valle of East Aurora. So, some of those I looked up to and others just had a lot of respect playing against them.
You listed a lot of guys I grew up with and still friends with. Goodspeed’s nephew is playing at Geneva and also the nephew of a guy you likely played with AU (Modaff)
Jaime Wu was also a counselor at that same camp!
Other names from that were all at the same camp:
Ben Sankey, Marquess Sullivan, Famous Hulbert
Silagi, Natividad, Draper, Cooney, Walsh, Smith, and the list of Sweegians goes on and on. I might have shared a pizza or two with Modaff at the Shore Club......
There's a good chance I was there. I was mostly referencing the Aurora guys and Vaughn where I grew up.
Hmmmmm idk like I said I'm a few years younger.....A few names come to mind though
I grew up in Deerfield back when they were pretty dominant. Had a few favorites, QB Mark Carlson and RB Dave Persak from the 75 championship team. From the 77 runner up champ DT John Murphy, RB/S Rick Harris, DB Brian Collins and FB John Sweeney (ND starter back in the day). Missing many more from that era.
Great name. Great player. Enjoyed those 70s St. Rita St. Laurence Catholic Super Bowls
‘79 21-20 in front of 23k at Soldier Field. St. Laurence was the better team that year but a great 4th qtr by St. Rita set up the 2pt chance that was denied. Not last play of the game tho bc I want to say St. Rita had one more desperation chance but a great game nonetheless
‘73 I was younger obviously but King was a beast. His 2pt conversion tied the game 20-20 but that was with about 10 minutes left to go. St. Laurence won in overtime. Thanks for the trip down memory lane Krock
Great player. That 96 Driscoll team should've won it all.
They were so talented.
Did Aspito ever make it past A minor league?
Two of mine were actually only a little older than me and to this day I consider both great friends.
James Randle- Joliet Catholic
Anthony Herron- Bolingbrook
Two of the best to play...even better guys off the field.

Althoff v West during the rough and tumble era of the 1980s.
Norman was #33. Start watching at 9:00 for a few minutes until Althoff ties it up. LOVED watching him run.
