I worked the 2007 state final his junior year at Chatard. They played SB St. Joe. Then watched him play for the Irish. A real technician, as contrasted with a guy like Q Nelson, who is more of a “mauler.” A lock for Canton.

Tell us what your favorite obscure lore, tidbits or trivia about your favorite program. For example, did you know that Ben Davis and Franklin Central, despite being in the same Sectional at different times and in the same relative geographic area, have never played each other? There are others, too.

The assistants at NP have been the big difference makers for awhile. While Mckimm may have received the accolades for NPs success it’s been the constant dedication of the the longtime assistants there. The strength coach has done wonders for the program and not just for football. Gumm made it public knowledge he was stepping away as offensive coordinator mid season last year for health reasons. I have not the cougars will continue to be successful regardless of who the new coach is because of the outstanding staff he’d inherit

What a tremendous career he had He also created a scar on our head coach leg at St. Joe team camp when he hip tossed our lineman after the whistle completely in the air cleats up at our coach slice them right through his leg with the cleat.... Yeah he's a bad man

Why does it matter? Coach McKim at Lowell Coach Gumm for decades has been solid footing for the Cougars, he is off for another new adventure for him as well the vibe of some wanting to hopefully hear about juicy stories of HIGH SCHOOL football staff and if they "got along" is wild to me big yikes

You JUST HAD to slip that last guy in there didn't you? Welp, I've never heard of him, just sayin

I may be mistaken, but I think the late Coach George Gilbert is an RC grad. He was a state champion at Tri-Central.

That's a step in the right direction!

Thanks to @oldtimeqb's efforts I can answer this for you. Excluding what I would define as Chicago Metro (or close enough) I counted: 5A (1460+): 11 6A (2141+): 3

I definitely can tell this is the slow time of the year for football when we are debating hypotheticals that will never happen. How many more days until the season starts?
