Former Junior Charger, current Charger! Congratulations Patrick!

Junior Patrick Hilby won the prestigious 800 m run at Palatine! This field is an elite invited meet that features the top middle-distance and distance athletes from the state of Illinois, as well as some elite athletes from Wisconsin and Minnesota! Hilby posted a state-leading 1:52.32 and set a new meet record and broke the former record of 1:52.72 which was set in 2022 by Daniel Watcke of Hinsdale Central. Hilby also broke his own school record! As of 4/23/23, Hilby has the fastest time posted in the 800 in the state of Illinois barring any class and is ranked #32 in the US and #9 in the US junior class!

Reality check today. My son(and the REASON I got into coaching), good ol’ number 41, turned thirty-nine today. My FIRST football team (AND first girls basketball team) are 39 & 40 years old. 😳

To all my “ones.”

When you ask a HILLMEN for help, you had better be ready to get out of their way. This 10.5 minute video is full of Academic & Athletic HILLMEN Champions. (Link below)

How could I go wrong with all of these HILLMEN? My 2022, Special Olympics, HILLMEN volunteers.

Look who I found at last Sunday’s Special Olympics! Marmion volunteer, former Jr. Charger, Jacob Nelson.

Visitation for one of my HILLMEN today. Adam’s Mom told me that they found one of my “letters” amongst his things. Back in the day I used to write personalized letters/notes to my football & basketball players. It always amazes me when I hear that one of my players kept one.

Godspeed Adam.

Sadly, we’ve lost another HILLMEN. Adam was a part of my 1997 & 1998 (5th & 6th grade) campaigns.
