    Hilltoppers 49 Morris 7 3:41 Q4 nm

    The Hilltoppers are perhaps Illinois' greatest legacy program for a reason (Chicago Mt. Carmel and East St. Louis might have an argument there). They came into a big game in a hostile environment and demonstrated why they keep winning championships decade after decade. Hats off to Joliet...

    Great to see the Mt. Rushmore of the EDGY FREE Board today

    Damn, it was great to see you Edgy. DeanOfSelection came all the way down from Chicago and we sat with 4ANorth and caught up on old times. It was the highlight of the day for me, as the game certainly wasn't. Joliet Catholic dominated in all phases, which is what they do. Love meeting the...

    Morris 39 - SHG 36. FINAL

    Count on it 4ANorth. @DeanOfSelection was already planning this when the brackets were announced, if both JCA and Morris survived. Unless his Mt. Carmel Caravan game conflicts, he's planning on being there to get me out of the witness protection program. 🙂. A chance to see a game at SHG...

    Morris 39 - SHG 36. FINAL

    Damn, it was great to meet you Ratsy. And as we discussed, when you play a program like SHG on their home field, you expect a hell of a game. And it was. IMO we survived the game more than won it - felt to me SHG controlled most of the game. Perhaps fortunate for 2023 Morris to learn the...

    That kind of thing happens each year and the system seems to shake it out in subsequent weeks. I'm just going on what it's telling me... :-)

    18th annual Bracket Challenge update: All Round 1 results in

    Results are done - sent off to EdgyTim and I'm sure will be posted soon. If any of you nice folks notice any mistakes, let me know. Round 2 updates will fix them anyway - or should. :-)

    Rank the current Top 10 HS football programs in Illinois

    I used to post a listing of the top programs (overall and each decade) on a website I had years ago. While the website is gone, I do keep up with the rankings. Like an earlier post, I used 6 points for each state championship, 5 points for making the final game, 4 points for semi-finals, 3 for...

    Who Was Your Best Team to Not Win Title?

    I'd say for Morris it would be either 1989 (lost to Richards in OT in the 4A title), the 1992 team (but lost to Marian Catholic in playoffs after a 1rst Q lead of 22-0) and the 2004 Redskins (lost to JCA in the 5A title). All of them very strong at every position and dominant-type teams with...

    What song would you want to run onto the field to?

    I have too many that would fit the bill. But I'm pretty sure DeanOfSelection would pick "Hot For Teacher".... :-)

    Sad Day for JCA football

    Mike: Sad to see this day come for JC football. As you can see, you made a great and positive impact with your site and you should be proud. I appreciated all the help you gave me also. It was and is a terrific site. Sometimes other faucets of your life also demand the time and efforts...
