    The old private/public debate! jeez. still. EASY FIX.

    I’m a private school graduate and we may need to increase the private school football enrollment multiplier to 2.65 or so instead of 1.65. Now with football participation continuing to shrink everywhere, the private schools have an even bigger advantage. Now slush funds paying for some, most or...

    8a Game

    Too bad that the game we deserved to see was never played. Congrats to LA.

    8a Game

    Badke not playing his capable QB backup is another shame. Loyola had a defensive layup practically the whole game. Congrats to LA!

    8a Game

    QB Bean not being able to play for the most part is a shame. Come all this way as one of the best players in the state and play on one leg is a shame. His dimension is running the ball then passing. We never saw the game that deserved to be played.

    8a Game

    Bean’s ankle must be bad. One rush all game. He is their offensie.

    8a Game

    Badke’s decision to go for it on 4th and 14 on the 50 changed the momentum and everything for the remainder of the half. BR lost the field position battle and LA had the short field the whole first half in addition to the turnovers. QB Bean looks hurt and hasn’t run at all. He has been the...

    5A Title game

    HSDad, Montini won 6A, again won 6A with no close game in 2015 and 2009 thru 2014 they were 28-2 in the 5A playoffs (5 state champs & 2 runner ups incl. 2015) and if you quickly look up the scores of those playoff games on the IHSA website they had 1 game each run that was maybe close. Crappin...

    5A Title game

    Montini has been playing 5A for too many years and frankly only had JCA to worry about for many years. Way too many lopsided playoff games before they get to the 5A Finals. I have no bias , in fact I went to BR for what it's worth. Montini has no business playing in 5A and I know they are...

    Montini BR

    Don't get me wrong, I hope Badke sticks around. He's there as long as he wants to be IMO. BR is now beating MC, Rita, Provi with some consistency and competitive with LA. Having a big freshman football class has a lot to do with him. Freshman football rosters are shrinking dramatically...

    Montini BR

    Another Badke gag! Come all the back from 14 down on the road. Go up 7 with minutes left in the game and you guessed it. Not only give up a TD with seconds left. You knew Montini would get the 2 point conversion. They had the 2nd best team in the state last year and they go out in first round...

    Polls: My Class 8A thru 5A Preseason Top 10

    BR plays 7 of their 9 games against teams ranked in Edgy's 6A thru 8A. That's a death march. Health is a huge issue every year in the CCL Blue for any playoff run. This seems especially difficult. Need a great year from the QB. They may break a record in playoff points this year. Do I hear...

    Congrats to Loyola

    Marist was who we thought they were. A very good 5-4 team who would eventually reveal their flaws. Their side of the bracket broke their way. #23 seed and never had to play an elite team until today. Tough watching all these running clocks. I think they said 5 of 8 games had them. Hopefully...

    28-24 Palatine over BR Final

    The ultimate chess match started with 6 min left in the game and BR up 24-21. Plenty of Queens to go around for Rice and the brain trust pooped the bed.

    28-24 Palatine over BR Final

    Well written game article. I'm not asking BR to score again but after another 3 and out with the score 24-21 and now 6 minutes left it was killer. How many 3 and outs did BR have in the second half? You wonder why the defense was tired. Lamm had 4 TD's last week and Rice's defense is backing...
