Mike Tos and the Eagle

Mike Tos' All-Time Egan/C-E FB Squad

  Many people over the years have asked me who are the best players who played football at Bishop Egan/ Conwell-Egan.
  I waited until the 50-year mark to do this. I started in May 2005 and did a preliminary list. It had over 650 names and had to cut it down. After much thought, here it is -- the starters are in CAPITALS. Note: Current players excluded.
  (Ted's note: Mike has seen all but TWO of the games in Egan's history!! Amazing!)omcast.net
