Remember: For 7 months, you’ve lifted weights, developed speed and got better as a player for 9-14 “Gamedays” ... not for 4 days in Grant Park! For those going to LollaPalooza, have fun, but make sure you are making choices that are beneficial to you and your team!

Five years ago today...the perfect ending to the “Perfect Season,” a 38-15 win over Crete-Monee to give the Broncos their sixth IHSA football championship and cap off a 14-0 season. In celebration, see below for highlights from this unforgettable year.
We are deeply saddened to learn of the news on the sudden passing of Coach Thomas. He was a great man and positive role model for our young men and our school community! Please pray for his wife, children and family! Rest In Peace Coach Thomas!
It is with a heavy heart that we announce that our Head Basketball Coach, Daryl Thomas, passed away from a heart attack this morning. No details are available at this time. Please keep his family and loved ones in your prayers.
Congratulations to these 16 young men, and the entire Montini Catholic Class of 2019! Always remember, before you became a lawyer, a teacher, a doctor, or an engineer ... you were a Bronco! Thanks for the great memories! Good Luck & God Bless!
