I hear a lot of guys talk about how much they love football. But won’t make weights at 6am in high school. Team lifts in college start around 4:30am followed by team meals at 7, then class till 11:30, then position meetings, class till 2:30 then treatment & practice till 6:30pm
During this dead period of the IHSA football season, please take time to reflect and develop a plan to be playing into Thanksgiving. In Illinois 9 games are guaranteed. The remainder cost extra, it requires payment in advance. A champion is training when no 1 is watching.

We are back in black!!! Leo Catholic High School Football is back!!! It’s time to show off the dust and get back to greatness! Our calling card is relentless dedication to the brotherhood.

Dear IHSA Football Players,
Please do me a favor...look each other in the eyes, make meaningful relationships, learn to love one another, respect one another... because before you know it tomorrow will be here and gone and you will be creating the future you want to see.

Today was a day that truly will forever be a great day in my Academic and Family history. Today I walked the stage for my Doctoral graduation. Those in attendance were truly blessed for being in the numbers. As we walked the stage we proved that all the hard work truly pays off!
My name is Marques Stevenson & I am looking for an opportunity to become a Varsity Head Coach & or Offensive coordinator. I have been a JV HC & OC/DC. I have been a Varsity DC & Run Game Coordinator. As a DC we went on to set 10 IHSA state records. I am available.

I want to take time out to thank all of my players over the last 5 years for all the great memories. I’ll be stepping away from the game for a while as I focus on furthering my career as a counselor. It’s been the highlight of my life serving you. I love you all

I want to personally thank coach
@CoachNissenSTL
&
@CoachMac44
for mentoring while I was their Frosh/ Soph Head coach. While considering me a friend and family. If it had not been for these two men, I wouldn’t be a head football coach today. I am forever grateful.
#Brotherhood
Welcome this historic class of 2027 to Leo Catholic High School. Over 85 incoming freshmen for the first time in 20 plus years. It’s only right that you rewrite your family history. Welcome to the brotherhood, where we do it like no others could. Service for humanity, we do it
My goal is to be an inspiration to the younger generation! To teach them life lessons that they will carry into adulthood. To teach them humility, love, respect and dignity. Then develop them into caring adults that are capable of loving others.

@Coach_Braun
was our DC at Culver-Stockton College. His attention to detail has not wavered! He is as thorough as they come! He is also one of the reason HS recruits should NEVER, EVER, blow off an NAIA coach or D3 coach! You never know where they end up!
I am a coach & a leader of men, which is one of the most important jobs in the world to me. In high school I never made All-Conference or All-State. I didn't receive a lot of offers. Yet, I have coached many who have gone on & received those accolades & more. I am an NAIA Athlete
Waking up to a new day and a new week as our team is 4-0 going into homecoming! These young men have worked extremely hard to get to this point and we are not satisfied! One goal this week 1-0 and Defend The Glory!!! WE > ME

Don’t get me wrong, I love seeing our kids make it D1, D2, D3, NAIA. But playing NAIA football was great a fit for me. It cut down on the traveling schedule and allowed me to grow as a student. It was a good fit for me. Now Flash forward 10 years, I have a B.S., M. Ed., & an EdD
Drink up ladies and gentlemen because tomorrow is the start of the IHSA football season! Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate!!! See you tomorrow!

never forget, the Lord has forged a desire in your heart that can never be stopped! You have something special in you to be GREAT! Go out and Become Elite! Slow Feet don't Eat! Keep grinding big fella! Your time is coming! Be ready! It's coming!
Sing that fight song... Throw those L's up in the air!!! Oh when those Leo men fall into line, And their colors Black and Orange are unfurled, See those brawny stalwarts wait the sign, Then all their might against the foe is hurled. And then the foe shall feel the Lion's might.
How student athletes who make excuses for not being able to make it to weights look at their teammates getting bigger, faster and stronger in the weight room as the semester ends!

You want to stand out from the crowd? When in class sit up front. Pay attention! Be the first in the class & the last to leave. Be the first in the weight room & the last to leave. Be the first on the field & the last to leave. Be coachable, be accountable.

Other pos. coaches: Man it takes forever to watch film & give weekly grades.
OL/ DL Coaches: How many players do you have at a time on the field?
Other Coaches: 1, 2 or 3.
