Football sage Bill Parcells is credited with suggesting, “You are what your record says you are,” as a measure of a team’s relative merits. In that context, Leo (11-13) vs. Riverside-Brookfield (20-3) on Wednesday night looked like a mismatch. At Riverside-Brookfield, no less, with the … [Read more...]
Leo V. St Francis De Sales – Basketball Commentary by Dan McGrath
Some things just aren’t meant to be in life, and a .500 record for the Leo Lions in this season of basketball rebuilding apparently is one of them. Mired in the muck of a 3-10 record five weeks ago, the Lions brought an 11-12 mark into Tuesday night’s Catholic League crossover with St. Francis de … [Read more...]
Leo V. DePaul Prep – Basketball Commentary by Dan McGrath
The Leo Lions saw what a championship team looks like on a visit to DePaul Prep on Friday. The Rams are not only the defending Class 2-A state champions, they are 20-2 this season and undefeated in Catholic League play. “That is a good basketball team, a serious basketball team,” … [Read more...]

Leo V. Marmion Academy – Basketball Commentary by Dan McGrath.
What the Leo Lions wouldn’t give for, say, a seven-minute do-over of Thursday night’s 56-53 Catholic League crossover loss to the Cadets of Marmion Academy in Aurora. Leo (6-10, 1-4) played well, save for puzzling, three-minute stretches of the second and third quarters, when a … [Read more...]
