The Mount Carmel Caravan, a perennial power in Illinois 8A football, has broken ground on a $2 million facility upgrade ahead of the 2026 season. The program, which has won 10 state championships since 2000, has been seeking to modernize its facilities to attract top talent and stay competitive in the highly competitive Chicago-area market. The upgrade, which includes new locker rooms, weight rooms and training facilities, is expected to be completed in time for the start of the season. The Caravan has been a consistent force in Illinois 8A football, with a 60-20 record over the past five seasons. The facility upgrade is seen as a major coup for the program, which has been recruiting heavily in the Chicago area and surrounding suburbs.
