The CHSFL retains its gravitas and relevance because of the rich tradition and history it has. The essence of sports, and why it is so popular, football in particular, are the compelling stories that are told, and what makes a league great, is the stories of the past, and how they relate to the present.
The stories that can be told about the league, and the importance it has on the present day is critical for understanding the why things are the way they are today. We must celebrate, and understand the past to appreciate the present. So I decided I would do a series highlighting the different dynasties, or the compelling stories of programs in the past. The catch is that my knowledge is limited to what has happened over the past 20 or so years, and what I can get from the internet.
Below are the published posts for this series:
- Kings of the CHSFL; Championships and Divisions through the Years; 2024
- A Look Back; The St. Anthony’s Run of the 2000s, Iona vs St. Anthony’s
- A Look Back; Chaminade Triumphs, The End of the St. Anthony’s Dynasty
- A Look Back; Hurricane Sandy and Xavier High School
- A Look Back; Sluka and the Firebirds
If anyone has a story that can be told, please let me know, I will tell your story.
