Prep Bowl Links, History & Photos
Story and Photos from Leo's Website about 1937 Prep Bowl
Since its inception in 1934, the Chicago Prep Bowl has enjoyed a special place in the hearts of high school football enthusiasts in Illinois. From the days when record crowds would turn out to watch a high school football team to the present, the Chicago Prep Bowl has always been a magical stage on which young athletes have felt honored to perform.
Over the past 74 years, many storied games, athletes, and coaches have been to the mountain top of Chicagoland prep football. Players such as Budd Young; Abe Woodson; Keena Turner; Ronald Pennick; Kevin King; Jim Grabowski; Mickey Pruitt; Donovan McNabb; Rausell Harvey; Dennis Lick and Andre Gilbert have been the talk of the town among high school football fans throughout the years.
Legendary coaches like Bernie O’Brien, Tom Winecki, J.W. Smith, Joe Magee, Roy Curry, Al Scott and many others have inspired thousands of young men to be the best they could be on and off the field. We proudly congratulate this year’s honorees as we celebrate the Chicago Prep Bowl: A Lakefront Tradition.
