It was a season of firsts for St. Bernard-Elmwood Place in 2024. The Titans won their first playoff game in school history, won their first home playoff game, won their first road playoff game, made it to the regional semifinals for the first time and had the program’s first 10-win season. With a veteran group of returnees and a schedule that only features one team that finished above .500 a repeat performance is more than a reasonable goal for this team.
“We are graduating 15 seniors from a team who had the best season in school history, but we have a lot of depth in our ‘2026 class and I am excited to see some of the younger players step up,” Head coach Kyle Hogan states.
St. Bernard-Elmwood Place will lean on its experience and size up front. The Titans need to fill big holes at running back and receiver. If they can fill those holes they sky will be the limit for this team.
