(8-21-2025, 3:30PM): After winning a third straight state championship in 2024, the Lumen Christi Titans come into 2025 with lots of new faces and a gauntlet of a schedule.

HC Herb Brogan is returning for his 46th year with the Titans. Brogan has won 12 championships (2nd-most by a coach), LCCHS holds the most titles in MHSAA football history after defeating Lansing Catholic 56-18 in the 2024 D6 final. ““Really great coach, knows what he is talking about”, says the players. “You can tell that he cares about us”.

Key returning players include seniors Antwon Baker (OL/DL), who is the only returning starting offensive lineman this year. Others include Sean Walicki (FB/LB), Amarion Clay (RB/DB), and Jack Fitzpatrick (DB).

Other titans expected to make an impact include juniors Johnny Walters (WR/DB), Wes Learned (WR), Benny Gaston (QB), and Luke Anderson (OT). Seniors Paul Sattler and Noah Lampan along with freshman Aiden Gatewood will also see key roles for LC.

Offensive coordinator Sean Brogan returns for his 15th year and defensive coordinator Tony Panici is returning for his 13th. Other longtime coaches in the program include DBs coach Shane Brogan for his 18th season and OLine coach Dan Horn with the Titans now for 20 years.

Goals for the 2025 season include making the playoffs (would be a 28th straight season), and winning a fourth straight state championship.

LC’s schedule will be quite the test, especially the first three weeks to open the year. They will visit Lombard Montini Catholic, a private catholic school just west of Chicago. Montini has won seven state titles in IL. Week two features a rematch with their only loss last year, D5 champion Pontiac Notre Dame Prep.
