If you want to talk about Monmouth University Football, Quincy University Basketball, Notre Dame Men's Soccer, or whatever, this is the place.

In honor of the 50th Super Bowl, the NFL is doing a Super Bowl High School Honor Roll, where High Schools are recognized that have produced players and coaches that have participated on Super Bowl playing teams. Schools receive a golden 50th football and plaque to display.

Macomb HS received their honors due to Red Miller. Most of you probably know about Red Miller, but for those that don't, he's from Macomb, played football at Macomb High and then at Western Illinois. Following his playing career, he coached at a couple of area high schools, then at Western as an assistant under Coach Lou Saban (no relation to Nick Saban). He worked his way up the NFL coaching ranks for a while with Saban, and then as a head coach in his own right. He was the HC of the Denver Broncos in Super Bowl XII, where they lost to Tom Landry's Dallas Cowboys. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Miller

Looks like Ashwaubenon HS got one as well because of former Leatherneck star RB Aaron Stecker. Stecker had 1 rush for 1 yard in Super Bowl XXXVII (37) while playing for the SB-winning Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
