Chicago Heights’ own makes Marian Catholic history

John Oliver just became the first Black men’s head basketball coach at Marian Catholic—and he’s doing it in the same gym where he once played as a student. At just 29, Oliver’s journey is all about breaking barriers and giving back to his hometown. Born without his left hand, he’s never let anything stop him, turning challenges into motivation. Now, he’s focused on building a program where every kid feels like they belong. What do you think this kind of representation means for our local schools and young athletes? Let’s talk about the impact of seeing someone from your own community lead the way. #Sports #ChicagoHeights #RepresentationMatters
