We are looking to contact members of the 1959 Lane Tech Championship Team. This is the only team in the history of Lane Tech to win the Prep Bowl. This year's team will open up the 2008 season at Soldier's Field with their opponent being Fenwick. The game is scheduled for the 30th of August (Saturday) at 1:00 P.M. Forty-nine years ago the '59 team beat Fenwick 19-0. Tentative plans are to honor the team before the game starts on the field. Pictures of your season and of the team are welcome. They will be put on the Jumbo Tron as you are being honored. If interested in joining the pre-game festivities, please contact Coach Luis at lmunoz@lanetechfootball.com

The Chicago Park District is also looking for the names of Lane Alumni that are currently serving in the Armed Forces. The Park District would like to place their names on the Jumbo Tron before the start of the game. Contact Coach Luis with the name, year of graduation, and branch of service.

A Freshman Camp will be held on June 16th, 17th, and the 18th at Clark Park. Clark Park is located just west of Lane Stadium. The freshman staff, led by Coach Marchán, will be running drills for speed and agility. It is recommended that student athletes wear football spikes and a white t-shirt with your name on the back. The camp will run from 5:00-7:00 P.M.

An NFL Youth Camp for 7th and 8th graders will be run at Lane Stadium in June. As soon as the details are ironed out a post will be put on this website. 

The week of January 7th was an outstanding week for Lane Tech Football.
Carmelo Camacho was honored at City Hall on 9 JAN 08 for the off duty armed
robbery arrest of a local business man. What makes this extraordinary is that
Carmelo is on probation. When an officer is a rookie and does anything
wrong, that officer can be fired without having to show cause. In spite of
this risk, Carmelo took action and was able to apprehend one of the
offenders and thwart the robbery. All without firing a shot.

On 10 JAN 08 Gaspar Castro graduated from the academy and this ceremony was
at McCormick Place. Now Gaspar will go on to patrol the streets of
Chicago. There were lots of proud relatives in attendance and at least one
VERY PROUD coach. Mayor Daley spoke and told the story of Carmelo Camacho to
the recruits and how Carmelo Camacho brought honor and dignity to all rookie
police. Now it's Gaspar Castro's turn.

As a coach, I can not tell you how honored I felt to be invited to both
events and how PROUD I was to see both young men in their shining moment.
This is what coaching is all about! Assisting young student athletes in
doing the right thing when they are young. Scores and championships are
secondary to CHARACTER and HONOR. Congratulations Carmelo and Gaspar!

Sincerely,
Coach Luis

Two of Chicago's Finest!!!

On the 12th of December the 2007 football banquet was held at the Biaggio's Banquet Hall. Many thanks to Maria Bougher and Gail Chase for once again organizing and running the banquet as 230 people took time out to support the 2007 football student athletes.

At the banquet raffle tickets were sold for various prizes as well as awards handed out to all players. These awards include year of graduation, minor letters, major letters, trophies, and most importantly, grant money to those student athletes who wrote a 500 word essay on why that student athlete should receive grant money.

It is important to note that the Lane Tech Football Booster Club is the only booster club at Lane Tech that awards scholarship money to student athletes regardless if that player started or not. The awarding of the grant money is strictly related to academics. The booster club officers feel that this should be the focus of a student athlete at Lane Tech. The officers want to thank all those that have bought candy, donated money, attended fundraisers, and joined the booster club. Without the assistance of these wonderful people no scholarship money could ever be given out.

This year the Mark Whittinghill Memorial Scholarship Award was a no brainer. It was awarded to Chris Blackmon. Chris not only showed his leadership on the football field but also excels in the classroom. Chris has a GPA well above 3.0. Chris was awarded 3,500.00.

The next two student athletes were each awarded 2,000.00. They were Aaron Boock and David Mihalia.

The last two players to receive scholarship money were Frank Bougher and Casey O'Brien. Each student athlete received 1,500.00.

The Lane Tech Football Booster Club would like to congratulate these five student athletes and wish them all the success at the college level.

Now for the varsity awards.

The MVP of the 2007 Lane Tech Football Team was Captain and Sam Linebacker Casey O'Brien.

The MVP on Offense was Captain and Runningback Chris Blackmon.

The Most Improved Offense was receiver Steven Guevara.

The MVP on Defense was Willie Linebacker Marcel Gibson.

The Most Improved Defense was Defensive End Andre Alvarez.

The Best Underclassmen Award was given to Defensive End Louis Trinca-Pasat.

The Special Teams Award was given to Kicker Rodolfo Fransual.

Lastly, the Ron Rio Award was won by Captain and Receiver James Glaesser.

Congratulations to these fine athletes. Photos of the banquet will be posted up shortly.

The 2007 season came to a screeching halt as the Curie Condors defeated Lane for the second time this season at Gately Stadium by the score of 18-13. The Indians ended the season by losing 4 out of 5 giving Lane a 7-4 record.

Lane received the opening kick-off with the Condor defense quickly securing a three and out. The Indian defense returned the favor giving Lane good field position at the Lane 47 yard line. However, 2 sacks by the Curie defense forced the Indians to punt and after a good punt return the Condors started at their own 47 yard line. That drive was stopped when James Glaesser intercepted the Curie quarterback killing the drive deep in Indian territory.

The Indians took over on their own three yard line with the Curie defense forcing a three and out. The punt was partially blocked giving the Condors great field position at the Lane 25 and that was how the 1st Quarter ended.

The Condors started their only successful drive of the game from the Indian 35 yard line. Two consecutive pass plays brought the ball to the 10 yard line. On 3rd and goal the Curie quarterback was able to escape a sack and he made the Indians pay by finding a wide open receiver in the corner of the end zone. The P.A.T. was no good as the score stood at 6-0.

The Indians came right back with their own drive 7 play drive which started at the Lane 25 yard line. The big play of the drive was a pass play from Frank Bougher to Steven Guevara which covered 49 yards to the 1 yard line. Chris Blackmon entered the end zone untouched on the next play and Rodolfo Fransual added the kick making the score 7-6.

After one more Curie possession that ended at the Lane 40, the Indians took a knee ending the 1st half with a 7-6 lead.

The 2nd half began with a quick three and out by Curie giving Lane possession at the Indian 38 yard line. However, on the first play from scrimmage Bougher threw a lateral to Blackmon that bounced on the astro turf which Blackmon could not handle. A Curie defender picked the ball up at the 33 yard line and ran in untouched for a touchdown. The P.A.T. was no good and the Condors led 12-7.

The Indians started their next possession from their own 26 yard line.

Making their first playoff appearance in over 10 years, the Pirates of Palatine traveled to Chicago to take on the Indians. The game started in a downpour with the rain finally easing up in the third quarter.

Lane received the ball first starting from their own 22 and quickly made a 1st down behind a pass to Chris Blackmon and two Frank Bougher runs but the opening drive stalled at the Indian 42 before Lane was forced to punt.

After a 3 yard punt return the Pirates took over at their 24 yard line. On their second play from scrimmage Palatine ran a counter trap with the Pirate RB racing 73 yards untouched into the end zone for a quick 6-0 lead. The P.A.T. was missed.

On the 2nd play of the drive Bougher threw an interception giving the Pirates the ball at the Lane 25 yard line. Four running plays later the Pirates upped the score to 18-0 as the P.A.T. was missed again.

The ensuing kick-off was put in the end zone as the Indians again started deep in their territory. This drive would turn out to be Lane's best drive of the game which ended at the Palatine 44.

Palatine started their next possession at the 15 yard line and with a mixture of running and passing culminated a 7 play drive which ended with a 17 yard touchdown run. This time the P.A.T. was good which improved the score to 25-0.

The Indians then went three and out with Palatine taking over at their own 40 yard line. Two plays later James Glaesser intercepted the Pirate quarterback as Glaesser finished his State Playoff appearance with his 6th playoff interception in three years of varsity play. The half ended 25-0.

The Indians took on the Mighty Men of Dunbar in the 1st Round of the Public League Playoffs on Bob Popowski night. The night was electric for three reason, the lightning storm which delayed the start of the game for an hour and a half, senior night in which the seniors and their parents were acknowledged, and honoring Lane Tech Graduate Bob Popowski at halftime. Bob was flown into town for this special occasion and the whole Lane Tech Family wishes Bob and his family nothing but the best in this challenging time.

The Indians opened the game with a quick first down on their opening possession but were soon forced to punt into a strong wind. The Dunbar offense took over on their own 43 yard line but the Lane defense held for a quick three and out.

The Lane offense took over at 20 yard line and drove all the way to the Dunbar 18 yard line when Frank Bougher was intercepted to end the drive. It would turn out to be Lane's only turnover of the game. That drive was the Chris Blackmon and Steven Guevara show with Blackmon running and Guevara catching the ball but unfortunately the offense had nothing to show for this drive.

Dunbar took over from their 33 yard line and drove on the Indian defense. On 4th and 23 from the 23 yard line the Dunbar quarterback connected on a beautifully thrown pass, which was into the wind, for a touchdown. The P.A.T. run was good as Dunbar took an 8-0 lead.

The Indians roared right back answering the Dunbar touchdown with a 7 play drive that was capped off with a 20 yard touchdown pass from Bougher to Guevara. Blackmon ran the two point conversion in tying the score 8-8 with Blackmon being the workhorse on the drive.

The Might Men then fumbled the hand-off on the first play of their series with Paolo Ramirez recovering the fumble at the Dunbar 26. The Indian offense took over but a crucial holding penalty inside the 10 killed the drive. The Indians then attempted a 28 yard field goal but the snap was low throwing the timing of Rodolfo Fransual off and the kick was inches wide as Lane missed a golden opportunity to take the lead.

The half ended with the score 8-8.

Dunbar received the opening kick of the second half and the Lane defense quickly forced another three and out. The offense took possession at the Lane 40 and drove to the Dunbar 14 yard line but due to the wind the Indians had no choice but go for it on fourth down with the Mighty Men holding the Indians on an incomplete pass.

Both defenses held each other on their next offensive series. James Glaesser taking advantage of the wind punted the Dunbar offense into a hole. Dunbar started their next series at their own 9 yard line. The first play from scrimmage Dunbar fumbled the center/quarterback exchange but they were able to recover at the 6. On the following play the Mighty Men fumbled again when Casey O'Brien stripped the ball carrier with Glaesser recovering the ball giving the Indians great field position at the Dunbar 12 yard line.

The Indians scored three plays later on a Bougher 5 yard run with Fransual adding the extra point giving the Indians their first lead of the game at 15-8.

The Lane defense again held Dunbar to a three and out as the Indian offense took over at the Lane 40. The offense then proceeded to eat the clock up coming up with an impressive 9 play drive that ate up most of the fourth quarter. However the drive ended on the Dunbar 19 yard line.

Dunbar had its last chance with two and a half minutes left in the game with the Mighty Men driving to the Lane 34 yard line. However, on fourth down and the last play of the game, the Dunbar pass was incomplete giving the Indians a hard fought victory.

Curie came right back, after a good kick off return, and scored on their first play from scrimmage on a 55 yard run. The P.A.T. run was good making the score 8-3.

The Indian offense could only muster one first down on the ensuing series with Curie taking over on their own 20 yard line. On the first scrimmage play for the 2nd Quarter, the Condor quarterback took advantage of some poor tackling and scored on an 80 yard run. The P.A.T. was no good as Curie led 20-3.

The Indians scored late in the 1st Half when Curie fumbled a punt which Lane recovered at the Curie 2 yard line. Two plays later Bougher ran a QB sneak for a touchdown with Fransual adding the extra point. The halftime score ended with Curie leading 20-10.

The Condors had a block on which forced Glaesser to abort the punt and he was tackled at the Indian 5 yard line.

The Condors scored on the next play with their fullback scoring from 5 yards out. The P.A.T. was no good as the score stood 26-16.

Both defense held as the Indians changed quarterbacks. Luis Negron took over the reins in difficult field position which the Curie defense took advantage of. The Condors sacked Negron forcing a fumble which Curie ran back for an easy 8 yard recovery for a touchdown. The P.A.T. pass was good with the score now 34-16 which is how the game ended.

The Dolphins of Whitney Young handed the Indians their first loss of the season putting a damper on Homecoming Week. It was a hard fought game that was decided in overtime as the Dolphins beat Lane for the first time in over 10 years. With the victory, Whitney Young clinched the Illini Red Conference and became the automatic bid into the State Playoffs from the Illini Conference.

The Indian defense held Whitney Young to a quick three and out to start the game forcing a punt. Lane quickly picked up a first down on the first offensive play but then fizzled out on the next three plays. After an Indian punt the Dolphins took over from their own 32 yard line. The Dolphins connected on a short pass which the receiver turned into the biggest offensive play of the day for Whitney Young. The play covered 57 yards bringing the ball to the Indian 11 yard line. Two plays later the Young quarterback connected on a 13 yard touchdown pass. The extra point was no good and the Dolphins led 6-0 which is how the 1st Quarter ended.

The Dolphins went for two, and with a Lane defender hanging on the Young quarterback, were successful tying the game on a pass. The score remained 14-14 until overtime.

Whitney Young won the toss and elected to go on offense. The first play was stuffed by the defense. On the second play the Dolphin quarterback was forced to roll right but he was able to find a receiver inside the end zone for a tremendous catch. The Young quarterback followed that play up by rolling to his left and scoring after a vicious hit by James Glaesser. Young led 22-14.

The Silver Streaks from Steinmetz had the misfortune of playing the Indians on Alumni Night. Lane Tech posted their 4th shutout of the season in front of a nice crowd at Lane Stadium.

Steinmetz started their first offensive possession on their own 19 yard line. On 3rd and 1 the Silver Streaks committed a penalty which forced the Silver Streaks to punt two plays later. The snap was bad but the Steinmetz punter nearly ran for a first down and the Indians took possession on the Steimetz 28 yard line. 8 plays later the Indians scored on a 5 yard TD pass from QB Frank Bougher to Alex Brown. The PAT was good and Lane quickly took a 7-0 lead.

On the ensuing kick-off Steinmetz fumbled with the Indians starting from the Silver Streak 23 yard line. This time the Silver Sreak defense stiffened up and Lane Tech settled for a 27 yard field goal from Rodolfo Fransual to make the score 10-0.

Lane's 4th offensive possession of the 1st half started at the Indian 25 yard line and on the 11th play of the drive, Thaddeus Scott scored from 2 yards out. The PAT was good making the score 17-0. The half ended 17-0.

Lane Tech's 1st possession of the 2nd half ended quickly with a Brandon Bush fumble. However, the defense stopped the Silver Streaks on 4th down quashing the best Steinmetz chance to score. After a couple of three and outs the Indian offense put a drive together that started from its own 12 yard line which was capped off by a Chris Blackmon 8 yard run. The PAT was good making the score 24-0. That was how the game ended making the 2007 Alumni Night Game a huge success.

After another 3 and out by the defense the Indians came right back with an 8 play drive, again overcoming two penalties, capped off by a Bougher to O'Brien 19 yard touchdown pass. Fransual added the kick to make the final score 16-0.

September 7th was a historic night as the Indians played their first game on the new fieldturf. The Caviliers of CVS did their best to ruin the night but in the end the Lane Tech defense rose to the occasion and stopped CVS at the 8 yard line to end the game.

CVS struck first in the 1st Quarter taking advantage of a Bougher fumble. The Caviliers wasted no time going 47 yards in 3 plays which was capped off by CVS quarterback Williams' 9 yard TD run. CVS missed the extra point and the 1st Quarter ended 6-0.

Midway in the 2nd Quarter, after a defensive 3 and out, the Indian offense put together a 9 play scoring drive which was assisted by a key CVS pass interference call. Brandon Bush finished the drive by catching a 25 yard TD pass from Bougher. Rodolfo Fransual kicked the extra point as the Indians took their first lead of the game 7-6.

Lane Tech quickly struck again after another 3 and out by the Indian defense. This time the drive was 7 plays which was capped off by a Chris Blackmon 28 yard TD run off the option. It was a typical Blackmon run which featured his slashing running style making 3 CVS defenders miss him. Fransual added the extra point making the score 14-6.

CVS threatened right before the half ended but James Glaesser intercepted Williams in the end zone to end the first half.

The 2nd half began with Marcel Gibson forcing his second fumble of the game setting up a Fransual 30 yard fieldgoal to make the score 17-6.

The score stayed this way until late in the 4th Quarter when the Cavilier defense forced a Thaddeus Scott fumble on a 4th down play. CVS mounted a furious comeback by scoring in four plays sandwiched in between a pass interference call against the Indians. The short drive culminated with a 21 yard TD pass. CVS went for the two point conversion with Williams easily walking in to make the score 17-14.

After a three and out by the Lane Tech offense CVS quickly drove down to the Lane Tech 9 yard line. With a little over a minute left in the game the Cavilers on first down tried going at weak CB junior Rashee Allen but Allen stuffed the play for a two yard gain. The following play was an incomplete pass. CVS then went to the play where Williams scored his TD run but Gregory Walker stuffed the play for a 3 yard loss. It was 4th and goal from the 10 when CVS again decided to attack Allen but this time with a reverse. Allen, with help from James Glaesser and sophomore Laken Tomalison, stopped the Cavilier receiver at the 8 yard line as the horn went off to seal the victory for the Indians 17-14.

Some statistics:

CVS Passing: 8-20 128 yards 1 TD 1 INT CVS Rushing: 28-110 yards 1 TD 3 fumbles. Lane recorded two sacks: Casey O'Brien 1 yard loss and Louis Trinca-Pasat with a 18 yard sack.

Lane Rushing: Blackmon 16-62 yards 1 TD, Bush 2-25 yards, Bougher 5-10 yards, Gibson 3-8 yards, and Scott 4 for a negative 13 yards.

Lane Passing: Bougher 10-26 132 yards 1TD no INT. Guevara 3-55 yards, Bush 3-55 yards 1 TD, Scott 1-9 yards, Donahue 1-6 yards, Alvarez 1-3 yards, and O'Brien 1-4 yards.

The defense was led by Trinca's 5 tackles in spite of Trinca missing half the game. Glaesser and Barret each had 5 tackles. Fumble recoveries were O'Brien, Alvarez, and Tommallison.

Next up is Mather this Friday.

See you at Winnemac.

Week 2 for the Indians saw the Lane Tech youth movement traveling to Evanston to face the Wildkits. History was against this squad. The last time Lane beat Evanston in football was in 1991 when the Indians hosted the Wildkits in the 1st round of the State Playoffs. The final score was 7-0. Lane Tech had never beaten Evanston on the road until this past Saturday when history repeated itself when the Indians toughed out a 7-0 win in a defensive struggle.

The defense was led by linebackers Marcel Gibson, Casey O'Brien, and Louis Trinca-Pasat. Gibson led with 10 tackles, one forced fumble, and 2 QB sacks. Followed by O'Brien's 9 tackles and one fumble recovery. Concluding with Trinca's 7 tackles, the last one being late in the game on an Evanston reverse.

The secondary was led by junior FS Chris Kyles and senior Donatello Barret. Kyles led with 5 tackles and a QB sack while Barret turned in the only interception of the day by both sides.

The defense rose to the occasion to record the second shutout of the season with the biggest stop being late in the 4th Quarter when the Wildkits had the ball at the Lane Tech 15 yard line. The defense forced Evanston to punt which set up Lane's special teams for a punt block. They missed the block but forced a punt of negative 8 yards to set up the only touchdown of the game.

Lane's offense struggled throughout the game but seniors Frank Bougher, James Glaesser, and Chris Blackmon refused to lose. The youthful offensive line finally gave Bougher enough time to throw in the last minute of play with Bougher completing two straight passes in the final minute of play to Glaesser. Bougher connected on a 27 yard pass and followed that up with a 13 yard touchdown pass as Glaesser avenged his two lost fumbles earlier in the game.  Rodolfo Fransual kicked the extra point as the Idians toughed out this win.

Some of the statistics:

Bougher was 10-22 for 108 yards 1 TD no INT he was sacked twice for a loss of 21 yards.                                                                                                     

Bush 2 catches for 42 yards, Guevara 3 catches for 10 yards, Blackmon 2 catches for 13 yards, and O'Brien 1 catch for 3 yards.

Rushing Yardage: Bougher 2-6 yards, Bush 1-8 yards, Blackmon 4- a negative 2 yards, and Scott 6 for a negative 10 yards.

Evanston passing: 7-21 55 yards 1 INT QB was sacked three times for a loss of 32 yards.

Evanston rushing: 38-108 yards two fumbles.

Next up, CVS at Lane Friday at 7:30 P.M. Don't forget about the ribbon cutting ceremony which starts at 5:30 P.M.

Hope to see everyone there.

GRASSROOTS:

Winning partnership builds playing fields for Chicago’s kids

Formed to meet the needs of youth athletic programs by providing funding for urban sports facilities, the NFL Grassroots Program—a partnership between the
NFL, the NFL Players Association and LISC—has helped five Chicago-based
organizations to refurbish their playing fields.

Throughout the summer, the NFL Grassroots Program and the Chicago Bears,
with matching funds from the Chicago Public Schools and its partners renovated
Lane Tech’s 65 year old stadium.

The Lane Tech Indians opened the 2007 season on Friday the 24th against the Broncos of Kenwood. Head Coach Rich Rio is entering his 10th year with this year's varsity squad being the youngest in his 10 year tenure. This year's captains, Casey O'Brien LB/TE, Rich Blackmon RB, Frank Bougher QB, Donatello Barret DB/RB, James Glaesser WR/FS, and week 1 captain junior Anthony Jantke OT/DT, have a big job on their hands leading the underclassmen. The offensive line for Lane has 1 senior starter, Marcos Chagoya, who did not play after the first series because of an injury to his shoulder. The defensive line is also young with the only senior being DT Aaron Boock. The Indians started off well scoring on their first drive which was capped off by a 3 yard run by QB Bougher. RB Blackmon picked up the majority of the yards with his slashing style of running. Blackmon played for a little over a quarter and a half in which he amassed 68 yards on 11 carries while catching one pass for 18 yards.

The Indians blew an opportunity on their second possession when Kenwood shanked a punt giving the Indians good field position but Brandon Bush fumbled on a lateral from Bougher deep in Bronco territory. This turned out to be Lane's only turnover of the night. Lane Tech scored on its third possession capped by another 3 yard TD run by Bougher which ended the 1st quarter after another poor Kenwood punt.

Early in the second quarter Junior SS Erik Bartell intercepted a pass, one of two for Bartell, with Bartell returning it for 25 yards deep in Bronco territory. Bougher then completed his next three passing attempts capping it off with senior Steve Guevara catching a 15 yard TD pass. Blackmon soon ended his night with a 1 yard TD plunge to make the score 28-0.

Next up for the Indians was Mr. Excitement, sophomore RB Thaddeus Scott. Scott was a blur on the field as he scored on a 23 yard TD run followed later in the third quarter with a 44 yard run that set up a touchdown. Junior QB Luis Negron was the recipient of the big Scott run when he scored from 12 yards out on an option run.

The fourth quarter was showcase time for sophomore RBs Alex Brown and Tyler Jones. Brown was impressive not only with his running but his blocking was superb. Brown finished the scoring with  a 6 yard TD run. The Indian defense pitched its first shutout of the year and they were led by senior LB Casey O'Brien with 4 tackles. Four sacks were recorded by the defense led by sophomore noseguard Gregory Walker with 2, followed by Obrien, and sophomore DE Louis Trinca-Pasat. Lane's two take aways were recorded by Bartell's interceptions.

Lane's special teams were solid with senior place kicker Rodolfo Fransual making six out of seven PATs and just barely missing a 36 yard field goal.

Some of the statistics:

Blackmon rushing 11-68 1 pass caught for 18 yards
Scott rushing 4-77 yards
Marcell Gibson (junior) 2-15 yards
Bougher 5-33 yards  Passing 3-9 38 yards
Negron 2-25 yards
Brown 4-23 yards
Jones 5-22 yards

Guevara receiving 2-20 yards

Next up, Evanston at Evanston. Hope to see you there.

Chicago, IL (June 28, 2007)- After 65 years of virtually non-stop use, Lane Tech Stadium on Chicago's north side needed a makeover. Now, after months of work by parents and school administrators to find resources, work has begun on the long-awaited renovation of the stadium.

By the Fall of 2007, athletes will have a new artificial turf field on which to play and a new track on which to run thanks to grants and support from a variety of local and national entities including the Chicago Bears, the NFL, the Local Initiatives Support Corporation/Chicago (CLISC), Chicago Public Schools, the Fields of Dreams Project of the Lane Tech Century Foundation, and DePaul University.

Unlike real grass athletic fields, which require periods of rest so the grass can rejuvenate itself,artificial turf typically hods up to year-round use. The new field will allow Chicago Public Schools and the Chicago Park District to schedule far more events than were previously possible and thus open it up to greater school/community participation.

The field is expected to be completed in September, in time for part of the school's football season. The first games, set to begin the weekend of Aug. 24, will be held at other schools until the stadium is ready.

Rich Rio, Lane Technical High School's athletic director and head football coach, credits the NFL, LISC, Chicago Public School System, DePaul, and Lane Tech's Fields of Dreams Project (a committee of the Lane Tech Century Foundation) with the refurbishment. DePaul will become a long-term tenant and use the new track for its intercollegiate teams.

"The entire stadium needed to be redone, so Fields of Dreams and CPS got in touch with the NFL, and we were fortunate enough to get its support," Rio said. "The Bears and LISC were a catalyst for all of this."

CALLING ALL FRIENDS AND SUPPORTERS OF LANETECH AND THE NORTHSIDE COMMUNITY!  The Fields of Dreams Committee is seeking $1 Million for a baseball stadium to be built at Lane Tech High School.  We would like to see this completed by Spring, 2008.  Please put out the message to alumni, private businesses, the public sector, and anyone who might help!    

The efforts of the many supporters, parents and students of Lane Tech have been rewarded. The Chicago Bears, the NFL, The NFNLPA and LISC have generously agreed to grant Lane Tech $200,000 to redo the athletic fields. Lane has established a great relationship with the NFL as Alumnus Fritz Pollard was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in January 2005.

CHICAGO (January 25, 2007) – The grass football field at Lane Technical High School will be replaced with a synthetic playing surface, thanks in part to a $200,000 grant from the NFL Grassroots field grant program, it was announced today.

The grant, awarded by the Chicago Bears, National Football League, NFL Players Association (NFLPA) and Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC) to Chicago Public Schools, is part of $2.4 million in field refurbishment awards allocated this year to community groups in 20 cities nationwide. Since 1999, a total of $545,000 in NFL Grassroots refurbishment grants have been applied to community fields in Chicago.

“The Chicago Bears are proud to continue to support local projects that improve fields, football development and bring families and communities together through football”, said Caroline Guip, Chicago Bears Director of Community Relations.

The NFL Grassroots program is funded by the NFL Youth Football Fund (YFF), a non-profit foundation established by the NFL and NFLPA to support the game at the youth level and promote positive youth development. Since 1998, the NFL Grassroots program has provided more than $17 million to help community organizations build, or rebuild, 155 youth fields in more than 40 cities, typically in neighborhoods where funding sources are few and far between.

In addition to the installation of the synthetic turf field, the renovation of the Lane Technical High School football field also will include a new running track and new lighting. The NFL Grassroots grant will be matched by Chicago Public Schools and its partner organizations, including the Lane Tech Football Booster Club, the Fields of Dreams Committee, the Lane Tech Century Foundation, the Chicago Force, and the Chicago Park District.

“These fields are a critical part of our efforts to create sustainable communities- places where people want to live, work and raise families,” said Michael Rubinger, LISC’s president and CEO. “Through their contributions, the NFL and NFLPA are not only creating places for young people to compete in football and other sports, they’re also making countless neighborhoods better and stronger.”

Gene Upshaw, the NFLPA’s executive director, agrees. “The NFL and the NFLPA are proud to assist communities where young people aspire to play football,” he said. “This program allows us to make an immediate impact in neighborhoods where assistance is most needed.”

Other communities receiving NFL Grassroots awards during this funding round are: Baltimore, MD; Brooklyn, NY; Dallas, TX; Detroit, MI; Dickson, TN; Durham, NC; East St. Louis, IL; Hollywood, FL; Houston, TX; Indianapolis, IN; Jacksonville, FL; Kansas City, MO; Nashville, TN; Newark, NJ; Phoenix, AZ; Providence, RI; St. Paul, MN; San Diego, CA; and Seattle, WA.

About the NFL Youth Football Fund
Established in 1998 by the NFL and the NFLPA, the NFL Youth Football Fund seeks to use football as a catalyst to promote positive youth development, support youth and high school football needs nationwide and also ensure the health of grassroots football in future generations. Through the YFF, many youth football initiatives and support programs have been developed, providing youngsters with opportunities to learn the game of football, get physically fit and stay involved in productive after-school activities with adult mentors.

Innovative and effective youth football programs have resulted from teaming with organizations like LISC and the NFL Grassroots program. The YFF also supports the National Youth Football Partners which include the Amateur Athletic Union, American Youth Football, Boys & Girls Clubs of America, Jewish Community Centers Association, National Police Athletic League, National Recreation & Park Association, Pop Warner Little Scholars and YMCA of the USA. Additionally, the NFL and NFLPA endowed USA Football, a non-profit organization created to help youth football organizations keep the sport fun, safe and accessible. It provides resources focused on youth league enhancement, coaching education, officiating development and health and safety awareness.

The Lane Tech Football Booster Club, The Fields of Dreams Committee, and the
Lane Tech Century Foundation are proud to announce that on 9 MAY 06 a
contract was signed with Musco Sports Lighting. The lights will be delivered
during the first week of June and will be functional by 1 AUG 06. We would
like to thank the Alumni and friends who contributed to this major step in
improving the facilities at Lane Tech. The first two goals have been met.
The buying of the property west of Lane Stadium and now the permanent lights
for the stadium. The next goal is to raise money for a new track along with
a multi-purpose field turf for the stadium by next spring. We have received
a bid for $800,000.00 to accomplish the next goal. We hope that the Alumni
and friends of Lane Tech can assist us in this next endeavor.

Finally, wherever you go and whatever you do, remember the pride of Lane
Tech. Once again, from the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU ALUMNI & FRIENDS
OF LANE TECH.

Re:  Lane Tech Fields of Dreams

Open letter to all Lane Tech Alumni:
As you are aware, Lane Tech is the largest high school in Chicago, the second largest in Illinois, the school that boasts the most successful sports program in the city, the school that won 75 championships in the last four years, the school of champions.  However, Lane Tech’s athletic facilities have not been included in CPS’ financial planning since the 1960’s and the once beautiful stadium, which was built at the behest of FDR in 1942, has been left to deteriorate.

Since mid July, the Lane Tech Fields of Dreams Committee has been working to fulfill our dreams of a safe environment in which Lane Tech’s students and student athletes can practice and compete.  Our three-part project: (1) allocate funds to renovate Lane Tech Stadium, including the installation of lights, artificial Fieldturf and a fully certified running track, (2) build a state-of-the art baseball stadium, and (3) purchase the land west of the stadium to develop facilities for practice fields, softball, soccer, lacrosse, volleyball, and tennis.

In November, the City of Chicago and the Chicago Park District unanimously approved the purchase of the two vacant properties near Lane Tech Stadium to be developed primarily as athletic facilities for Lane Tech’s student athletes.  One part of our dream will soon become a reality.

We need your help and intervention to enhance and preserve Lane’s rich academic and athletic history.  Our committee has established a partnership with Lane’s Football Booster Club for our fundraising efforts.  We have set up an account with the North Community Bank.  Funds donated to ‘Lane Tech Fields of Dreams’ will go strictly towards the projects our committee is strongly fighting for.  Funds donated to ‘Lane Tech Football Booster Club’ will mostly go to the efforts of the Fields of Dreams Committee but may be also used for football team expenses such as medical assistance or equipment subsidies.   Please give generously; Lane is counting on you!  Checks should be made payable to Lane Tech Fields of Dreams or Lane Tech Football Booster Club.

Lane’s nearly 4,400 student body is comprised of 66% girls/34% boys; 59.4% low income; 43.1% Hispanic, 13.9% black, 28.8% white, 13.7% Asian/Pacific, and .6% Native American.  Lane’s girls’ softball team, who consistently compete for the City Championship, may have to play their home games at Thillen’s Stadium.  As of today, the team does not have a place to practice. 

These new facilities will benefit not only Lane’s girl’s and boy’s championship sports teams (cross country, baseball, softball, soccer, track) but the athletes of Lane’s community at large.  We know that with your help and support, the facilities of Lane Tech will become the crown jewel of the North Center Community and a viable facility for the children of our community for decades to come

This is our quest.  This is our dream.  Please make it yours too by giving generously to our cause.

With warmest regards,

The Lane Tech Fields of Dreams Committee

In a very important step for the Fields of Dreams initiative, the City of Chicago and the Chicago Park District teamed up to purchase the land west of the Stadium to use for Lane Tech Athletics. It is now even more important for the Chicago Public Schools to do their part- which they have not done yet. Thanks to all the officials of the City and Park District who helped in this effort.
