Grayslake Rams Football
I just wanted to give a Shout Out for the new Head Coach of Grayslake Central HS Football, Brent Pitt. He is committed to GCHS sports, he is positive, he has a positive track record with the athletes, and he is within the school. I believe that he will help rebuild this program with the help of the players. He has already been talking with the Grayslake Colts program to help unify the HS and Youth programs. This has not been done in over 20 yrs.
I attended Grayslake HS back in the day when it was only the RAMS. We played Colts football. We had a good core group of guys here in Grayslake, and when we went to high school, we met some other great athletes from other towns. Together we became a TEAM. We never really had much success above a 500 program in the win columns until our Senior year. We were 6-3 and went to the playoffs for the first time is school history in 1989. Our juniors behind us followed and went to the playoffs again the next year. Grayslake has since had several runs during the playoffs since.
What made the difference? The dedication to be better, believing in ourselves and each other, working out together, and hold each other accountable, and a Don't Quit Attitude. Also a strong youth football program, like the Grayslake Colts.
For the rest of your life, the time you spent with your buddies on the field, and in the weight room together is irreplaceable. When we get together as adults (50+ now) we still bring up the same stories and laugh about the fun we had. That's the brotherhood you develop that will last a lifetime.
So parents and athletes, get your sons out playing football at Grayslake Central and the Grayslake Colts. Bring back the tradition of winning, community, and pride in the Green and White!
