I lost my dad when I was 21. Hearing about @NickMartinez_9 losing his dad at a young age, I wanted to share his story on carrying out his legacy. I am grateful to @JackLydon63 for the platform. Thanks to @coachpass23 & @ant_martinez11 for contributing. ✍️ https://t.co/nBnxVegR70
REGIONAL CHAMPIONS! 🏆 The Rams capture the IHSA 4A Regional Championship with a gritty 1-0 victory over Loyola Academy. Nolan Hecht comes through with the game-winning RBI double in the 9th, while Liam Daly and Finn Nash team up for the shutout. @DePaulPrepBSBL@DePaulPrepAD 🐏
The "Thomas J. Kleinschmidt Court" is coming soon! 🏆🏆🏆 Proud to announce that the competition court in our new main gym will be named in honor of Tom Kleinschmidt and his 12+ years of unwavering mentorship and leadership at DePaul Prep.

John Holecek, the winningest head football coach in
@LoyolaAcademy
history, is returning to the program he built as the new head coach. In his legendary run with the Ramblers (2006 to 2022), Holecek amassed a 185-35 record, winning 3 state titles and 9 CCL championships. (1/3)
Five years ago I was working a Loyola Academy football game during the COVID spring season. Wild times. Great memories. Always proud of where my announcing journey started.
Thanks to the hard work of President Mary A Dempsey and the Advancement Department, and due to the generosity of so many in the @DePaulPrep community, construction on the new Athletic Complex begins!! Can’t wait to provide our Rams state of the art facilities!
@DePaulPrepMBB@BenetHoops@DePaulPrepAD@DePaulPrep Coach, congratulations on a memorable and historic season and title run. You not only have produced consistent championship seasons but, more importantly, championship young men. It’s an honor to have a front row seat to you and the team’s success over the years.
There are not enough superlatives to describe this group of young men. Warriors. I love them. 4 straight trips to state with 3 state titles and a 3rd place finish. 123 wins in 4 yrs for an average of 30 wins per year. Legendary team in our great state. FAMO. RAMS. @DePaulPrepAD
3rd in State! 🥉 @DePaulPrepMBB wraps up a historic season with a trophy in our 4A debut.
5 straight trips to the State Finals—this program continues to define excellence in IL basketball. So proud of Coach Kleinschmidt & this group! 🐏🏀 @DePaulPrepAD
Instant classic in The Land of Lincoln! 😲
No. 9 Benet Academy (IL) wins on a last-second free throw to topple No. 16 DePaul Prep in the @IHSA_IL semifinals. The @BenetRedwings are heading to the championship! 👑
Final: @DePaulPrepMBB falls to @BenetHoops 39-38. Rams press with under 3:00 to play; erase deficit. Had ball and chance to win. Turned ball over. Benet’s Colin Stack fouled on shot off inbound pass. Missed 1st; made second FT to edge Rams. Two best teams in the state.
Top two teams in the state. Winner goes to state. Down to the final play. Rams clawed back in with full court press and steals to earn the right to go to overtime. What. A. Game. #Rams 🐏 @DePaulPrepAD
As expected, points are at a premium in IHSA Class 4A State Semifinal. @DePaulPrepMBB and @BenetHoops tied at 17. Winner advances to tomorrow’s state final against Marist. Maverick is locked in. #RAMS 🐏 @DePaulPrepAD
Congratulations to the Deerfield Warriors. They make their first trip down state in program history and knock off the only remaining undefeated team in the state.
Marshawn Cocroft misses and Deerfield beats Kaneland 49-48 in OT.
The Warriors will face the East St. Louis- Leo winner in the 3A state title game tomorrow.
