First, this is not a college football team. Second, the subject does not meet the WP:GNG due to a lack of WP:SIGCOV. The only current source is a database. Let'srun (talk) 18:20, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. If I recall correctly, Christian Brothers was a college in the early 1900s and for a time was considered to be an elite level program. I will dig deeper later but didn't want the AfD to continue on the presumption that this was a high school football team. Cbl62 (talk) 18:42, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Haven't looked for sources yet, but that does seem to be the case - looking at the article, they beat Southeast Missouri State (a current Division I team) 97–6 and held undefeated Notre Dame to a two-score win! BeanieFan11 (talk) 18:54, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  - I've added a couple sources and confirmed that this was "Christian Brothers College", not the high school. Pretty sure this is going to be an easy keep, but I don't have time to add more sources until later today. Cbl62 (talk) 18:56, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Will withdraw then if you feel like you can find more/better sources than what I could find. Let'srun (talk) 19:53, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
