Graham & Ryan Glasgow with 2nd place football trophy - 2010

Cadets lost another great one, Marmion Hall-of- Famer -Mickey Melvin ‘51. Mickey is standing right center, wearing a warm-up jacket and holding on to both the regional trophy and Coach George Ireland - Rest in peace!

Todd Blincoe ‘79, just donated some materials today for the Marmion archives. One of the items (pictured) is an original state tournament shirt from way back - looks like it’s brand new! Thank you Todd!

Marmion Cadets lost one of their great friends this week - SGM Wally Schroeder. Wally was a fixture at Marmion for more than 50 years and will be missed by all in the Marmion family. God bless you and keep you, Wally!

This morning Marmion lost one of her great Cadets - Ed “Oy” Aister ‘59. We would like to honor Oy and his Cadet Brothers with this small tribute we have taken from the Marmion archives. Oy was a starter on Marmion’s only undefeated football in 1957 and continued to give his all on the 1958 team, his senior year. Eddie Aister, a great football player, a great friend to so many, and a great Cadet. Oy will be missed by many - May he rest in peace. Marmion never forgets her Cadets!

Tomorrow will mark the 10th anniversary of one of the biggest football games in Marmion history - Cadets played at Danville!

Veterans Day - may God bless all who have served in our armed forces - especially those that gave their lives in defense of our country.

This October 24 marks the 50th anniversary of the Cadets homecoming game with Carmel of Mundelein (a 21 - 6 Marmion victory!) Marmion’s 1970 football team, coached by Matt Laurich, has to rate as one of the truly great teams in our history. A special thanks to Bill Grobl for his great photos.

Armstrong: No preseason games? No worries. Jordan Glasgow makes Indianapolis Colts roster as eight area players test NFL waters. Unheralded rookies Jordan Glasgow and Luke Juriga — Marmion grads out of Michigan and Western Michigan, respectively — have made the NFL.

Had some requests from our great football team of 2010 - so here we go - opened the season with Batavia at home - a thrilling 14-7 winner for the Cadets. Hope you enjoy these.

Since the Cadets are not playing football this fall thought you might find this interesting - 5 years ago. The Cadets are home against Plainfield Central - a victory for the Cadets - 24-14!
