The Marquette High Family lost an amazing person yesterday. Prefect of Discipline and Coach Al Taylor went home to the Lord. Al was the definition of “Man for Others.” He loved his players and the students he worked with each day as sons! RIP Coach Taylor. We will miss you!
The Marquette Football Family lost an amazing person on Friday. Coach Jeff Bolle went home to our Lord after a courageous battle with cancer. Jeff was the definition of “Man for Others.” He loved his players and was a tremendous role model! RIP Coach Bolle! We will miss you!
Hilltopper Football has lost another brother. We are heartbroken at the loss of Sam Vertelka, Class of 2018. Sam was a leader on the field and greatly respected as a starting linebacker on the 2017 team. He had just earned honor roll for spring at UW-O. We will miss you Sam!
Topper Football is deeply saddened at the loss of Coach Mike Feely. Coach, teacher, mentor and inspiration to two decades of Hilltopper players. Coach Mike lived as a “Man for Others” and instilled in his players the “tradition” of Marquette Football. Rest In Peace Coach!

After numerous appeals, the Hilltopper Football program’s preference to play football this fall was denied by the MKE Health Dept. Despite this adversity, we will be ready when the time comes this spring! NOBODY can stop the spirit, hard work and will of these players!
The Marquette Hilltopper Football Team went into battle this evening and won 52-13 with two fallen brothers in their heart. Sam Vertelka’18 and Andrew Thorson ‘20 passed away in August. We play to honor them!
