The expansion of the Detroit 
Catholic League will not have 
an impact on league member 
Frankel Jewish Academy. At 
least for now.
Five schools from Toledo, 
Ohio — Central Catholic, Notre 
Dame Academy, 
St. Francis de 
Sales, St. John’s 
Jesuit and St. 
Ursula Academy 
— joined the 
league last month and will begin 
competing as league members 
in the 2023-24 school year.
“They’re all larger schools 
than us, and their level of play 
is higher. I don’t see us playing 
them in the near future,” Frankel 
athletic director Rick Dorn said 
about the Toledo schools.
Dorn isn’t concerned about 
travel time if the Jaguars face a 
Toledo team on the road. A trip 
from Frankel’s West Bloomfield 
campus to Toledo is about an 
hour.
“Going to Toledo isn’t any 
farther for us than when we 
go to (Marine City) Cardinal 
Mooney or (Chesterfield) Austin 
Catholic,” Dorn said.
Already the largest Catholic 
high school sports league in 
the country, the Detroit Catholic 
League will have 32 schools 
when the Toledo schools hop 
on board.
Frankel has been a league 
member for about 10 years.
It’s an associate (non-Catholic 
high school) league member 
along with Ann Arbor Greenhills, 
Bloomfield Hills Cranbrook-
Kingswood, Grosse Pointe 
Woods University Liggett and 
Macomb Lutheran North.

Affected by

Expansion
