    Q: 5 High School fields/stadiums most in need of a renovation

    It also hosts 12 varsity football games a week during the season. In fact, Lane football can't even practice on the field because it is always being used for soccer the rest of the year with no one taking care of anything. Constant use + no maintenance = dump. This includes the...

    Q: 5 High School fields/stadiums most in need of a renovation

    Also, Lane Stadium in CPS needs it as well. The turf is coming apart and the way the stadium guys "fix" things that break is simply putting a plastic bag on top of it, making a BROKEN sign and taping the crap out of it. This goes for toilets, sinks, urinals, water spouts, and would most likely...

    So who should be the 2018 NBCSC Drive team?

    It should be a city team that isn't a charter or selective enrollment school. So no Simeon, Phillips, Lane, or Solorio, etc... Should be a city team from neighborhood high school that succeeds in the face of multiple challenges. Much more compelling than watching great teams be great.

    Phillips playing up

    The whole "Everyone is doing it" argument is still wrong. One of the biggest problems in CPS is that there are no standards. Rules and regulations are constantly overlooked because, "it's the city." This applies to recruiting, practicing, eligibility, improper jersey numbers, coaches on the...

    CPS Coaching Jobs

    Jaton Jackson made it very clear at the CPS Coaches Meeting that Jay leaving was a vicious rumor and not to pay any attention to it. So, that means he is out for sure...

    Any chance of posting these new conferences? Is the information published somewhere?

    Max preps rating

    Apparently the CPS Powers That Be have decided that Maxpreps rankings should play a huge roll in deciding conference realignment without having any knowledge of the algorithms Maxpreps uses to calculate the rankings. CPS Football continues to amaze with fantastic decisions.

    CPS Schools Closing + Boundary Changes 2018

    While boundaries might not matter in CPS, they certainly don't matter at Phillips which is run by AUSL. Completely different set of rules.

    No CPS team finds it interesting. Just another day at Hansen Stadium.

    CPS - Land of Lincoln

    The Public League was great as well. Until the guy running the site took all of the information on player provided free by CPS coaches for press coverage, shut down the the website, and started his own for-profit recruiting service using the information he took from the CPS coaches under false...

    CPS - Land of Lincoln

    As bad as it got on there, it was still the only real place to go for CPS focused sports information or sports talk.

    IHSA Propsoes New Football Playoff Expansion

    Having the teams play inter-district, 1-2, 2-1 makes sense. It eliminates the issues of teams with horrific records playing top seeds. It also eliminates the traditional seeding 1-32 which would drive some people crazy. The other thing that no one addresses is extending the season for a game or...

    IHSA Propsoes New Football Playoff Expansion

    Going to districts based on size and geography is the best way to solve this problem. The rivalry issue is only a problem if one of the rival schools either gains or loses significant enrollment. If that happens, there isn't much of a rivalry anyway. In fact, this would help create new rivalries...

    Simeon @ St. Rita

    Simeon is loaded with athletes and speed. They were loaded with athletes and speed last year and got bounced in the first round by Glenbrook North. Glenbrook North is not SR. SR by 14
