Looking forward to this. Should be a good time. The last paragraph of the release notes the following:

Joliet Catholic Academy football celebrated its 100th year of football during the 2019 season. During that time the Hilltoppers have amassed 682 total wins, an IHSA-record 14 state championships, 39 conference championships, 12 undefeated seasons, six USA Today National Top 25 finishes, 18 IHSA State Finals appearances, and three IHSA sportsmanship awards.

Pretty impressive resume.

The records do not matter because they didn't all occur at the highest classification. :)

As that is not the objective of Hilltopper Alumni Banquets, I really have no idea.
