    CCL/ESCC Week 14*

    No way BR should be 21 point favorites here. And the weather will keep this one way below 60

    Brother Rice

    To top it off, the schools are in survival mode from a financial standpoint. With the exception of Marist, none is even close to being anywhere near capacity. As opposed to those schools in towns that people actually move to. For their schools! And let’s be honest. In addition to having...

    St. Rita vs. Brother Rice . . .

    Rice’s DBs have a bad tendency to get a lot of unnecessary flags. Seemed to improve a little against DGN, but still had a few.

    St. Rita vs. Brother Rice . . .

    The distinguished alum of three of the main feeder programs for Fox’s are all tied up. Sorry.

    Brother Rice

    The Nye era wasn’t horrible a couple of years in. Believe it was a Lockport team that kept them from going to state in 2003. But they had a couple of years that they did beat MC and PC. SR was the one who was really beating them up. Later in his tenure, the program started to slide. In my...

    St. Rita 54, Batavia 34

    Nothing soft about those teams “out west”. They play as challenging of a schedule as the CCL and have brought home a lot of hardware over the years. But after Batavia’s shenanigans the last 5 years, I couldn’t be more happy that Rita beat them the way they did yesterday.

    St. Rita 54, Batavia 34

    Completely different Rita team this time around. I knew Rita would be a tough out in the playoffs, but that turnaround by Hopkins and staff makes him worthy of COY. It’s like they played two separate seasons. Congratulations Mustangs! Should be a great game on Saturday.

    Fenwick Carmel? Iggy rice?

    That’s a hell of a swing. Have heard their QB is a soph and has already committed to Nebraska?

    Fenwick Carmel? Iggy rice?

    Very flat. BR looked like last years team and Wolfpack showed up looking like everyone thought they were supposed to be this season. BR has been rolling since MC loss, so a down night no reason to panic. Better this week than next. Hopefully a wake up call. Credit where it’s due as well...

    Brother Rice vs Mount Carmel

    Guess that’s good news. Just hope he’s 100 percent in two weeks. Have to agree that he may have helped possibly keep a score off the board. After he went down, that’s when the MC offense started shredding the D for stretches of the game.

    Brother Rice vs Mount Carmel

    I really don’t know. I think BR is as solid as they were Lausch’s senior year. Granted, he was hurt against Wheaton North, but even if he was 💯, I don’t know that BR would have beat them. Those West Suburban teams are tough like that in my eyes.

    Brother Rice vs Mount Carmel

    Lots of penalties on both sides, but all the false starts on Carmel didn’t matter. Dow ling was amazing throwing under pressure and may well be even better than his brother by the time he’s done. Pass interference calls killed BR, as did those stops deep inside Caravan territory. Thought the...

    Total team effort on D.
