2024 St. Ignatius Football

Good news for you guys getting Restifo back even if it isn't in a big position. A lot of frustration I heard from my Wildcat friends over the past couple years involved not having someone like Restifo out there developing QBs, like 97 said.
 
Haddad plays like a missle. It’s what makes him great and also has caused injuries. Can’t change that, just hope he stays healthy. He is by far the best player on the team.

Conroy is probably second.
 
Agreed PDC, those are definitely the top two players.

Taking a guess at a starting lineup for this season. Looking to see significant improvement across the board this year (but especially on offense). Less sure about the defensive starters below, didn’t see much of the JVs last year.

QB: Woidke if he plays, if not it will be Chalhoub. Donovan likely next on the depth chart
RB: Washington, Colwell
FB: Bykowski
WR: Haddad and Simms as top two, Ruffin, Tekancic, Cupp all in the rotation. Younger Haddad could be in the mix as well
TE: O’Leary, maybe Blasko if he bulks up a bit
LT: Van der Oord
G: Young
C: Rick
G: Van der Cica
RT: Conroy

DE: Taylor
DT: Southworth, Garlick
DE: Rosol, Papesh
OLB: Rivera - know he played MLB last year, could swap him with Conrad
MLB: Conrad
OLB: Bender
CB: Drummond?
SS: Jimmy Thomas, Seighman
FS: Haddad
SS: Jayshon Thomas
CB: ?
 
Sons of former players, Larry, and Dan.
I can’t believe Larry has a son already in highschool. We both went to St. Joseph in Avon Lake and he was 2 years younger than me. My boys are still a while from high school. Larry, Nick, Joe and even the younger Tony Gonzalez all played football together growing up.

I ran into Dan O’Leary probably 6 years ago and is such a good guy. Happy to hear familiar names in the pipeline.
 
And of course, some will say these names were stolen from ALHS even though we all went to Catholic grade school from 1st through 8th grade and it was well known where we were going. 😂
Heard the same thing growing up in Strongsville and going to Sts Joseph and John for 8 years.
 
Funny part was us from St. Anthony's in Parma didn't hear the same thing. But I recall hearing it in the 90s about Strongsville. Jacques would never shutup about it, especially with Kerr
 
Byers, despite its flaws was fine.

Games at Wasmer are nice but limited. ( and that embarrassment against Pitt Central Catholic didn’t help)

Agree. I'm a bit biased as I grew up in parma. But, you know with 2 city schools now, you should normally have all day Saturday. Also, free parking and less than 5 min walk tops. I also love sitting about 3/4;up and the field view
