Congratulations to Dylan Behnke for earning IHSA All-State honors! "It was an absolute pleasure coaching Dylan in his senior year. Dylan brings the kind of passion dedication that you dream about as a coach in athletes at any level, in any sport. Whether it's on the practice field or playing at the highest level, I know that he gives 100% of his effort 100% of the time. He has immense talent, but at the same time always willing to take criticism, and willing to give constructive criticism to his teammates to help them improve. A natural leader that wants to see everyone on the team succeed as much as he does. Dylan's path is a glowing example of how hard work, dedication, talent, and perseverance can propel one to the pinnacle of success in the realm of sports."
- Head Coach, Ryan Strach
