31 New Names Added to List of Lanenites Who Played Beyond High School

In the Lane Tech Alumni section of this website, there is a list of Lanenites who have played beyond the High School level. When the list was first made on August 25, 2006, there was a total of only 27 names on this list. The list was obviously incomplete. Since then thanks to a gracious contribution of Walter “Butch” Brzeski, we have added more names to the list. Below is a list of new names that have recently been added to the list. Lane TechFan.com gives a gracious thank you to all who add to this list which give due recognition to some of the athletes who have contributed to Lane’s success in the past. There will be more names coming soon.
