Update: Cato June's Anacostia HS Football to play for championship
For the first time since 1995 (when Cato was playing for the team), Anacostia HS will be playing for the D.C. championship. Anacostia won their semifinal matchup by way of forfeit last week (use of ineligible player).
Anacostia advances to the Turkey Bowl - to be played at Eastern High School (a block from RFK stadium) at 11am on Thanksgiving day. They will play the local bully - Dunbar HS - for the championship.
For those who haven't been following my posts, Cato took over the coaching duties this season and turned around a team that had won only a single game over the past two years. Let's hope they can finish this fantastic run.

Love seeing the success for those kids. This is a great story. Go Cato and Anacostia

Any recruits he can send our way?

so. With a championship caliber team, he should have a few. I always liked Cato and his style of play for us. I hope he sends us some kids from enemy territory.

could surely hit.

under-rated too.

Good for him. It's nice to a great Mighigan Man like him succeed at coaching like this. I would love to see him on Hoke's staff as an assistant someday.

Reading your title, I was thinking "Didn't he just get there?" Of course I must have been wrong. Lo and behold, I'm not.

Love me some Cato June.

He might have a legit shot at a coaching career. It's always nice having M players in the coaching ranks. Loeffler is doing well, and Hart and Wheatley are getting good starts as well.
That's interesting - I wonder how many M players are coaching right now? Obviously Harbaugh would be the biggest dog on that list. Ricky Powers is a HS coach in Ohio and I know Parrker Westphal has an M coach in Illinois, but I can't seem to remember who.

Sure, his team isn't doing very well this year, but he's an OC at a major program despite being 38 years old. He's not the best OC in the country, but he's proven to be one of the best QB coaches in the country. To be honest, he probably should have stayed at Temple as the OC for a handful of years before taking an SEC-level OC job, but that's Chizik's fault, not Loeffler's. Either way, he'll likely be a coordinator in D1 for a long time, so I'd say he's doing pretty well.

That's awesome, I must have missed the post about that before. It would be cool if something like that was reposted every year as guys get and switch jobs. What about Nick Sheridan? Isn't he coaching at Western Kentucky or something like that?

It sucks that Wilson High had an ineligible player; they hadn't been to the Turkey Bowl in a while, either. Hopefully, Anacostia can become a consistent contender at some point.
