Continue reading...Leo enjoys increased enrollment in past decade
by Bill Figel Jan 21, 2025 When 100 freshmen arrive next year at Leo Catholic High School, 7901 S. Sangamon St., it will follow a triumphant trajectory of increased enrollment over the last decade. Those familiar with the 99-year-old school know the arrival 12 years ago of Leo President Dan McGrath—followed by his recruitment of […]
Continue reading...Leo Vs. Fenwick – Basketball Commentary – By Dan McGrath
From: Dan McGrath The Leo Lions traveled to Oak Park Friday night for a Catholic League Blue Division matchup with Fenwick. They wound up being taken to the woodshed. The Friars are a basketball team with a football mentality. They don’t guard so much as they punish, which stands to reason — their star is Nate […]
Continue reading...Leo Vs. Crete-Monee – Basketball Commentary – by Dan McGrath
Some 2 1/2 years after its inception, Leo High School’s basketball rebuild is gaining some traction. The Lions capped a highly satisfying three-win week by dismantling Crete-Monee 59-41 in the Chelby Frazier Shootout on Sunday at Thornwood High School in South Holland.

With a tall, rangy, active front line, Perspectives IIT seemed to have an advantage over the height-challenged Leo Lions in their Whitney Young Shootout matchup at Malcolm X College on Saturday. But never underestimate the value of determined guards … or a popular staff member making his head-coaching debut. After nursing a 38-36 lead into […]
Continue reading...Leo vs IC Catholic – Catholic Holiday Tournament, Basketball Commentary by Dan McGrath.
It’s not Pontiac, or the Jack Tosh, or the Dipper – high school basketball holiday tournaments that draw the best fields and the most Chicago-area attention over the Christmas season. But the 12-team Westmont/ICC Catholic event would have been a nice prize to claim for a Leo team that’s showing signs of progress three years […]
Continue reading...Leo vs De La Salle – Basketball Commentary by Dan McGrath.
No offense to previous opponents CVS, 21st Century Charter or Bogan, but the Leo Lions played a big-boy team in their Catholic League opener at De La Salle on Friday. Much of the preseason speculation has centered on DePaul Prep, Mount Carmel and Brother Rice as contenders for the Catholic League title and beyond, but […]
Continue reading...Leo vs Christ the King – Basketball Commentary by Dan McGrath.
The Gladiators turned on the Lions Saturday with stunning ferocity. Christ the King Jesuit College Prep’s basketball team goes by Gladiators, and they hosted Leo’s Lions in a nonconference game on the West Side. Before halftime, Leo’s 17-point trimming of St. Rita a night earlier was a distant memory. Whereas the Mustangs bore a physical […]
