This fall marked the GSL
tennis programs 30th year in
existence. The program started
in the fall of 1994, which was
the first year that Glencoe and
Silver Lake consolidated.
Head coach Robert
DeCorsey has been at the helm
for all 30 of those years. You
could call it an accident though,
as DeCorsey was only supposed
to be the assistant coach
when the new program was
formed. Then athletic director
Kathy Olson had another person
lined up to be the head
coach, a name now forgotten to
time, but as the fates would
have it, the other coach flaked
and GSL tennis would fall into

The 2023 GSL football season
saw the return of a familiar
face to the sidelines, longtime
GSL assistant coach
Dave Style returned to lead
the defense for the Panthers
new coaching staff, headed by
Gary Kosek.
Style, a 1981 graduated of
Glencoe High School, was
raised by a coach and legendary
Glencoe athletic director
Jerry Style, where Dave
was exposed early and often to
the life of coach.

This years seniors on the
GSL football team will leave a
foundation in which the Panther
football program can grow
from. Head coach Gary Kosek
praised “The demeanor of our
seniors,” who had to deal with
a lot of change from their junior
to their senior season, but
came into the season with good
attitudes and were ready to go
to work.

As for the season as a whole,
coach Kosek was optimistic,
“we got better. We had to fight
through some adversity. A lot
of the young guys got some
playing time. We are trending
in the right direction.”

The Glencoe Area Chamber of
Commerce celebrated another successful
year with its annual banquet
Nov. 1.

Three Glencoe residents were
asked why they chose to make Glencoe
their home.

Victor Garcia, GSL grad and owner
of Victor’s PCs, said Glencoe has lots
of opportunities for businesses and
residents. He added he always remembers
GSL Superintendent Chris
Sonju’s words, “Stay on the path.”
Sonju was most likely referring to the
sidewalk between Lincoln and the
high school (before the addition), but
Garcia said he has always felt it was
good life advice.
