Montini Catholic high school football

Nazareth seniors set a new standard for the Roadrunners' program on and off the field after winning their third straight state championship. Plus more CCL/ESCC notes on Mount Carmel, Loyola, Montini, DePaul Prep and Joliet Catholic.

Montini rolled to its seventh state championship and first under head coach Mike Bukovsky with a lopsided 49-8 victory over Monticello in the 3A title game.

Israel Abrams spent four quarters Friday expertly distributing the ball to his playmakers, but Montini’s sophomore quarterback saved his biggest assist for last. To the teammate he shared the position with for four games.
