    Geneva @ Batavia

    Geneva was extremely impressive tonight. No weaknesses at all. Very good players on both sides of the ball

    Batavia Vs MC

    Batavia has an outstanding and experienced QB this year that will cause MC some problems. Of course they will be a huge underdog but don’t count them out. The absolute dismantling of Brother Rice was something to see and they’ve only picked up steam since then. Last years 7A title game was an...

    IHSA Championship game venue

    This is not even remotely accurate. There is more to the state than the Chicago area and there is more to high school football than the Chicago Catholic League

    ESL V BATAVIA - 31–17 - at half and Final

    Huge props to the Flyers tonight. Sure the procedure penalties were annoying and the special teams a disaster but that was an incredibly skilled, physical, and hard hitting group tonight. Doubt the Dawgs play a tougher team all year. Winning at Batavia is not easy and they were clearly the...

    Stream of ESL @ Batavia

    This was posted on their FB page today......BATV will be broadcasting and streaming live on Saturday. The best place to watch is truly at the stadium where the students and athletes can see their community. But if you can’t make it out watch them on our HD YouTube channel at BATV1017. Go Bulldogs!

    Unsure of the exact rules regarding tailgating. If you arrive early there is also a large school lot southeast of stadium as well. I don’t envision any problems with tailgating as long it’s respectful with no booze/tobacco.

    Live View of ESL @ Batavia

    Like most venues the visitors side seating is much smaller than the home side although many choose to stand on the sidelines to watch the game. Assuming the weather is decent it should be a huge crowd on Saturday. Lots of curiosity in the area about how the Bulldogs will stack up against the...

    Batavia @ Nazareth 7a Semifinals

    Here’s my postgame analysis.....First off Naz is very, very good. QB was poised in the pocket, reasonably accurate, and a strong arm. The few times the Dogs got pressure on him he slipped a tackle or bounced off of them. He also has weapons (#20 Love was awesome) that were just too much for...

    Willowbrook up late! Batavia wins 34-27

    I would guess your talking about the field house. Added about 5 years ago when the high school was renovated/expanded. This is third year for the turf....obviously scoreboard and bleachers haven’t been upgraded though

    Willowbrook up late! Batavia wins 34-27

    And Willowbrook was very impressive on defense. Slowed down and eventually stopped a very potent Batavia run game.

    Willowbrook up late! Batavia wins 34-27

    Willowbrook threw on every play....seriously EVERY play. Batavia controlled the game until Willowbrook popped a long TD in 3rd quarter after cornerback fell down. After that Batavia was on its heels and very nearly let Willowbrook spring the huge upset. Seen Batavia do this over and over in...

    NBCSC: Where are the fans?

    As mentioned there are a lot of reasons....other school activities draw some kids away and the $5 cost is a detriment. Local live streaming of games also certainly contributes to reduced attendance. Bottom line is that current students are way more selfish and concerned about their own lives...

    St. Charles North--Strengths/Weaknesses?

    QB and tailback are both smart, tough, and fast. WR Hammer is a big target and they know how to get him the ball. #77 and #71 are excellent high school linemen. They are a solid team and will be a tough out. They hammered the weaker teams on their schedule and showed very well against a...
