    Illinois HS played football before the 2000’s… let’s hear all those draft picks….

    If my memory serves me correctly. In 2003 the two High Schools with the most active players in the NFL were Mt. Carmel and Thornton Township HS with 5 each. The year before TTHS had 6 MC 5 and the year after MC 5 TTHS 4. NFL draft picks from Mt. Carmel: Darnell Hill #225 2002 Donovan McNabb #2...

    Edgy Says Flyers Have More Studs Than MC Brown

    In all seriousness, I hope both teams, along with BR and a few others run the table and keep Illinois on the national stage and near the top of the rankings.

    Edgy Says Flyers Have More Studs Than MC Brown

    Congrats! ESL can have the onto that ever important preseason championship trophy and boast the ‘toughest schedule’ label, all while dropping those games and padding the record against a weak conference to stay ranked. Impressive stuff. 🤪 See ya in week one.

    CCL/ESCC schedules for 2026

    So did I… about 20 minutes after I posted about Philadelphia on here is the first I heard about SJ “Regional”. At that point I figured I’d just let MC handle the official announcement instead of adding to the confusion. My apologies.

    CCL/ESCC schedules for 2026

    Mater Dei has a week 3 opening. If IHSA didn’t move the season up a week that might have happened!

    CCL/ESCC schedules for 2026

    I’m not sure what happened to Bergen Catholic, but they released their schedule a month ago and MC wasn’t on it.

    CCL/ESCC schedules for 2026

    Home. ESPN. Let’s just say the visitors have a pretty fresh reputation… and rumor is they spent a lot of time on playgrounds growing up. Hopefully we skip the ‘one little fight’ part cause mom will move em across the country to live with their Auntie & Uncle.

    This is a high school

    Get that W for IL! Right after MC won State someone from a GA. team called out Jordan Lynch on Twitter and he replied with something along the lines of “let’s set it up” I heard they declined.

    CCL/ESCC schedules for 2026

    Since it’s been on 8to18 for a couple days now… Week 1 MC vs ESL @ ISU 8/22 6pm Hopefully, I don’t have to sit on week 2 much longer. It’s a banger

    Father and Son state champions

    This year alone, the MC media guide lists 4 players with fathers who won a state championship. There’s also 2 other players that I’m sure their fathers were on the 90 or 91 teams. I’d have to break out a yearbook to verify.

    Roughest nonconference schedules in 2026

    The only hole I have is week 2. It will be AWAY. I’ve been told it’s on ESPN. A month ago I would have confidently said it was Bergan Catholic… not sure why happened there. Only other hiccup I have is the Brother Rice & St. Pats games on 9/18 & 9/25. Likey both away since I have 1 neutral, 2...

    Trae Taylor to Nebraska… for high school

    His actual quote was “I’m not sure how any rumors get started but I’m not transferring to Mt. Carmel, Loyola, LWE, IMG or any other school. If I were to leave I’d be headed to Nebraska.“

    2026 schedule openings

    I can’t see that not happening. I will say I hope it’s a Home & Home series. I’d like to travel to ESL & always enjoy showing off MC’s field regardless of LWE thinks of it.

    MC QB

    Hmm, what position do you think he will play next season?

    GOAT

    Thank you. Having played with Simeon I thought my mind was a little clouded when I saw his name mentioned. Made HUGE strides in the offseason between Jr. & Sr. Year and was a playmaker (we only allowed 6pts in the playoffs & we wouldn’t have won state without his forced fumble in the 4thQ)...
