Tuesday marks 31 days until the John Carroll Catholic High School football team kicks off the 2025 season.
John Carroll linebacker Alex Plaia will be one of the leaders of the John Carroll defense, leading his team onto the field Aug. 22 at Homewood for the Battle of Lakeshore.
Plaia is one of the players looking to help lead the Cavs' rebound this fall, as they look to rebound from a 3-7 season and return to the playoffs.
