Wade Juracek has done a lot of running in his life. He has completed 26 marathons, including 7 Abbot World Major Marathons —most recently Cape Town, South Africa — often running to support good causes.

Gregory alumni relive the glory days on Mike Dacy Field

For many who grew up here, Gregory is synonomous with Gorilla Football. Gregory Gorilla football is more than a sport; it’s a tradition, a legacy, a community; one that was built by amazing leaders like Mike Dacy, Dan Whalen, and countless others. Mark Vedral recalls the days when the team changed at the auditorium, then followed the fire truck down the road to the field. “Imagine a small army of football players walking down the road, and all you hear is the sound of their cleats, tapping the ground,” Mark Vedral recalls. “We would walk onto the field and the other team would always be staring, unnerved.”

The longer the league goes on, the more boring it gets. George Johnson/Mike Lebanowitz continue to lead the league. I don't even know who is in second place. When I read they were still in the lead I got so many tears in my eyes I couldn't even read any further. We should get George a license plate that reads 'Sloppy' but Gene Odenbaugh already has that plate. What is a guy supposed to do?
