Continue reading...Leo vs Joliet Catholic – full analysis by Dan McGrath
A team piles up 352 rushing yards, scores seven touchdowns in 10 possessions, doesn’t punt once all night and has “explosive plays” of 55, 49, 47, 28 and 25 yards, you might say its offense had a great night. Yep. And Joliet Catholic’s defense was even better. The Hillmen held Leo without a first […]
Continue reading...Leo Football Commentary by Dan McGrath – Leo v. Saint Laurence and related football news.
Almost too ugly for words. If a non-competitive, 50-8 stomping at the hands of St. Laurence felt like a doubleheader loss for the Leo football team, that’s because it was … technically. Before kickoff at St. Rita’s Doyle Field on Saturday, Sept. 23, the Lions learned they’d have to vacate their season-opening 20-19 […]

Dan McGrath commentary, forwarded by Jack Hannigan From: Dan McGrath Subject: Leo-DePaul This was almost predictable, Leo’s 38-14 loss to DePaul Prep in a Catholic League Red Division matchup at DePaul Prep on Friday, Sept. 15. The Lions were playing without injured quarterback Marshawn Durr, who had accounted for more than 400 yards and five touchdowns […]
Continue reading...Leo Football Commentary by Dan McGrath, Second of the Current Series, 3 of 4 – Leo vs. Marmion
From: Dan McGrath Subject: Marmion 42, Leo 14 Perhaps it was overconfidence born of a 2-0 start to the season. More likely it was a superior football team, a tough, quick, skilled Marmion Academy football team that probably didn’t need much assistance from visiting Leo. But four gift-wrapped touchdowns helped the Cadets (2-1) pile up 42 points […]
Continue reading...Leo Football Commentary by Dan McGrath, Second of the Current Series, 2 of 4 – Leo vs. Walther Christian Academy
Subject: Walther Christian Academy – 2 Leo – 49 Leo has been “running clocked” often enough in the last few years that the Lions might be excused for savoring the experience of being on the other side. But a 49-2 thumping of Walther Christian Academy in Melrose Park on Friday, in which a full three quarters […]

Subject: A great way to start the season Forward from Dan McGrath OK, Doc, what else you got? Dr. Marques Stevenson’s debut as Leo High School’s football coach was a resounding success—a 20-19 victory over Bishop McNamara at St Rita’s Doyle Field on Friday, August 25. But “resounding success” is underselling it. The win featured as […]
