Here are highlights and notes from Week 4 results around the Chicago Catholic League/East Suburban Catholic Conference.
Providence becoming early contender for CCL/ESCC Orange title
With a Week 5 matchup against St. Francis looming, Providence (No. 3 in 5A) stepped up on defense during its CCL/ESCC Orange opener against Niles Notre Dame. The Celtics posted seven tackles for loss, two sacks and an interception in their 21-11 win over the Dons.
“We’ve seen some young guys take their first varsity reps over the last few weeks.” Providence coach Tyler Plantz said. “It’s been really fun to see the team work. The kids have been very coachable. We’ve done some great things and some not-so-great things... They’re willing to come and take coaching. The sky is the limit for them.”
