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 contributions of LaneTechFan.com readers, we have added more names to the list.
