    HF at Duchon next week

    I know, I know. Oh, oh. Call on me. You, right? (I mean The Brook.) Tell us what you think. I will say that the early season GW might be a little different than the late season GW (based on what Edgy said in his comments to the NV vs GW game). But you might be able to comment on the...

    HF at Duchon next week

    The board's kind of quiet about the HF/GW game. Any analysis? I'll throw my analysis (mostly of HF) out there for open ridicule. GW folks might jokingly (?) say they are watering the field, but that probably won't do the trick. HF runs the read option, but a high percentage (well over...

    Projecting the top 16 seeds in class 8a

    Do you know why your top 4 differs from Soucie? He has (1) LA, (2) HC, (3) Palatine and (4) HF. A difference in predicted opponents' wins, perhaps?

    Where would you rank rice?

    Well said. And I don't know that I agree that "East should have beaten HF" in that prior meeting. HF's defense really stepped up in the second half of that game, and East was still in the "growing pains" of the 2 QB offense. Whether East would win the re-match is a different story. They are...

    Rice's secondary

    Will the LB's be back? Or are they out for the season? The lack of defense is going to hurt them as they go deeper in the playoffs.

    Rice's secondary

    Is Rice's defense suspect? It's hard to tell from their other games, because those offenses aren't clear to me - like last night vs MC. Should MC have scored that much? Will that be Rice's undoing against a more balanced team, like LA?

    DSR Shakeup.....

    Rambler - your statement that H-F's position in the DSR being the result of reputation suggests that you don't believe that they actually belong in the top three. Perhaps I misinterpreted your meaning. I would say I "tout" H-F's win over LWE (another DSR top 10), and now I would also "tout"...

    DSR Shakeup.....

    What would be a "better signature win"? Would one DSR team beating another DSR team on the road qualify?

    DSR Shakeup.....

    Perhaps suggesting that LWE is the equivalent of ESL and BR (and should be ranked higher than 10). Since HF beat LWE, that would further suggest that HF should be ranked ahead of both ESL and BR (and not in 4th behind both, even if only slightly). And none of those scores supports a suggestion...

    DSR Shakeup.....

    I apologize. I was thinking "Gooms" and wrote "Dean." Gooms, godfather and Rambler all have posted that HF should be out of the top three, including because of HF's SOS (which includes DSR #10 LWE as well as 4-1 LWW and 4-1 Lockport).

    DSR Shakeup.....

    You are soooo right. There is very little respect for the SWSC from some of the DSR. LWE has one blemish, in a very close game against H-F, and they are stuck in cement, despite their other convincing wins. And while H-F gets credit from some voters, there are still some (Dean, gdfthr and...

    Dark Side Ranking, 2016, 3rd Edition

    Interestingly, there's only 1 team in the DSR top 10 (H-F) that has actually beaten another team in the DSR top 10 (LWE). Based on that fact alone, it would seem that someone is full of crap to suggest that H-F's ranking is "more the result of reputation than SOS." Similarly, ranking H-F...

    Week 4 Chicago Bears HS Coach and Player of the Week?

    POW - Bryant Wright - QB at HF. Passing 7 for 11 for 209 yards and 4 TDs. Rushing 13 carries for 153 yards and 3 TDs. In other words, he accounted for 7 TDs and 362 total yards. That offense is crazy to watch. COW - Brett Boyter of Joliet Central. Great game on Saturday, and showed the...

    HF / Loyola

    They are one dimensional because they really only have a high-powered passing game. You can focus on shutting down one aspect of BR's offense, and if you have the players to do that (like LA does), then you can shut them down. It's harder to do that with HF because they have high-powered...

    JCA/NAZ Thoughts

    Just curious, why? If the D has a stud safety that they are cheating up, you have to throw over the top to loosen them up, don't you? Does Naz have more in the secondary that would make JCA pay?
