2006 7A State Champions
Chicago Catholic Blue (with Mt. Carmel)
Ranked in USA Today early in 2007 but fell out.
Lost to Wheaton-Warrenville South in 2007 7A playoffs (2006 8A champions vs. 2006 7A champions, by the way).

Discuss amongst yourselves.

Awesome!!!! I think they'll be a great addition to the event!

It's interesting that St. Rita says they've signed on for 2008 in Cincinnati and 2009 in Canton/Massillon. I wonder if anyone else has done a two year deal with the Herbie folks.

Okay I am admittedly the Herbie antagonist. St Rita you are not in until you see your name on a schedule playing an Ohio team at a designated site at a designated time. I refer you to Evangel Christian out of Shreveport that ended up with 9 regular season games.

That being said I think schools like St Rita's are more appropriate for the event. Chicago being 300 miles will be able to bring a larger crowd to the event.
