As mentioned above, we do have evidence of Kaneville High School's existence. That evidence comes in the form of
an IHSA District Basketball Tournament score from the 1948-49 season. That year Waterman High School won the District Tournament for the area. In the first game of the tourney Waterman defeated Kaneville
HS 50 - 47.
Kaneville High School therefore definitely competed in basketball. It is likely that baseball and track were offered
too. We are searching for the Kaneville High School team nickname, team uniform colors, coach's names, season records,
and any individual accomplishments that you might like to share.
