    *Hypothetical/Entertainment Only* SHG vs Normal Community

    I wasn't aware that an alumni's comment on a relatively obscure message board would impede John Allison, his staff, and his players from preparing for the biggest game of his tenure this week. I'll be sure to let them know to steer clear of this page!

    *Hypothetical/Entertainment Only* SHG vs Normal Community

    Got into a downstate football discussion with a close friend recently, so thought I'd pose the question here for fun. (For context I attended SHG, he attended NCHS). The crux of the argument centered around how the Cyclones would fare against the Ironmen year in, year out. He was of the...

    Illinois High School fantasy football

    Surprised I haven’t seen Hank Beattys name come up yet. If memory serves, he finished top 5 nationally in Rec yards as a sophomore, and then obviously turned in a Gatorade POY at QB as a senior. Never seen someone terrorize my Cyclones more…if there’s a “flex” spot on this hypothetical fantasy...

    Rochester St. Laurence

    For anyone else interested in the Leonard family dynamic, USA Football did a great piece a few years ago with Ken going for a milestone win (20 minutes, “documentary” format).When I saw the book, it reminded me of the video. Unique story and pretty heartwarming with Liz. Hope all enjoy a great...

    WIU fired head football coach, maybe they should look…

    From what I know, Derek was coveted by EIU (who has had a few recent openings) with some relative seriousness. Don’t believe College level is appealing to him, could’ve easily left by now (even if it weren’t for HC). Certainly think he’s qualified, but staying in Rochester has some pros (at...

    Are there examples of states that have separate private/public championships where the private schools are actually BETTER?

    I can get behind a good troll, but blatantly spreading false (not only false, but the exact opposite of what actually happened) information...cmon lol. However, I suppose you could assert this is the ultimate troll, as it nonetheless resulted in my engagement...but from GrossNoises I've come to...

    Morris 39 - SHG 36. FINAL

    Not even a Rochester fan, but citing a Loyola game that Rochester: -played on the road -had an extreme enrollment disadvantage -took last minute to fill a schedule gap …isn’t a very compelling argument. Rochester beat the brakes off a 6A quarter finalist this very season, and the very first...

    CS8 Predictions-Week 10

    Same thing people said after a 6-3 season and a playoff loss to Rochester in 2019-2020...which was followed by the #1 polled team in 5A during Covid, and 2 more state title appearances. Positional coaches, coordinators, resources, talent pool all remain unchanged. KL not super involved in...

    CS8 Predictions-Week 9

    Foolish to judge an entire coaching staff after one game, especially when those with true knowledge of Cyclone program realize Allison & co have effectively been running the show for multiple years. As an SHG fan, proud of that performance in a "new" era (again, not much change...

    How good is SHG?

    I really like this take. As an SHG fan I knew how talented this team was and it was extremely frustrating to see some people (justifiably) write them off a little bit. Happy they showcased their talent tonight.

    How good is SHG?

    Think you hit the nail on the head, likely one of the top teams regardless of class. While I don’t think tonight was a particularly spectacular showing for SHG (partly due to a good providence team), this is one of the best WR cores I’ve seen in a long time. Jack Western, who made a fantastic...

    Final: SHG survives Waterloo 28-16

    I don’t know where everyone is getting these scores, but correct is 16-14 Waterloo (per guys calling the game on 1450.)

    Final: SHG survives Waterloo 28-16

    This is by far the worst I’ve seen SHG look since I can remember. Complete lack of poise and execution. Not at the game, other than wind (??), have no clue why there appears to be a black hole for their offense between the hashes. Have to get it to Morris and Singleton in space, that’s SHG bread...
