    Ignatius 36 Viator 13 - Final - NM

    What onside kick? They were pooch kicking most of the game, likely because of the wind and their issues with kick coverage last week. The one that Iggy recovered was just mishandled by Viator.

    Asked opponent to not play starters - Is this true?

    No place like home?

    When St. Francis de Sales last had a program in the 2010s, they actually played their home games out of state in Hammond, Indiana. Would have been interesting if they would have hosted their lone playoff appearance in 2006, have to imagine that would have been the first IHSA playoff game not...

    As expected, Kurt Anderson is new OL coach

    Arkansas fans are trashing him and the hire on Twitter. Am I missing something? The local ties, previous experience, and existing relationship with the returning guys seem like big advantages.

    Nominate: Week 9 Bears H.S. Coach of the Week

    Going to say Nick Cook of Chicago Christian. Friday's 34-33 win over Fenton clinched a playoff spot for the first time since 2008; the Knights were down 33-18 with 6 minutes to play and pulled it off. Since his arrival in 2015, the Knights have gone 1-8, 3-6, 4-5, and now 6-3.
