    OFeetO Friday Upset Special........

    supposed to be tough kids and great players... looking forward to seeing them in person... I think their Dad may be a coach at Maine South? if you are at the WB/MW game, look me up... we'll be tailgating before at the RV and at the 50 in the visitors stands... enjoy HS playoff football!

    OFeetO Friday Upset Special........

    thanks for the scouting report... from the film, your analysis is spot on... WB is a tough bunch of well-coached kids, but don't seem to have a bunch of high-level play-makers... a good formula, but hard to beat a talented team like MW... MW isn't deep, but have a lot of high-level play-makers...

    OFeetO Friday Upset Special........

    I believe they have two players out after being ejected for fighting from last week's game... one is their big DE and the other is their 3rd WR... either way, it's two players down... they may have an injury or something else that I'm not aware of, it is late in the season and it takes a toll...

    OFeetO Friday Upset Special........

    Still no love for Maine West on the board? I'll pick the upset of Willowbrook and hope for the glass slipper to stay on for the team from Des Plaines!! 28-14 win....

    Best Match-up for Week 2?

    Can completely relate... my son is a Senior at Maine West and it's been a great ride for him the last 3 years... love to watch them play and want it to last as long as possible, but there are no easy games from this point forward. All of these teams deserve to be here and the boys on all the...

    ESCC Week 11 Predictions

    ESCC Fan - always enjoy reading your posts, but have to say that I'm really glad that the boys from Maine West were able to beat all of the predictions on the board... both Benet and MW played their tails off on Friday night in a great game, but MW was able to jump out to a pretty good lead and...

    Best Match-up for Week 2?

    Hersey beat MW in week #4... speed, speed, speed... MW was leading with 2 minutes left in the first half and had two tough to's deep in their own territory which put them behind... Hersey figured out our young (at the time) secondary and we couldn't keep up in the 2nd half. They have a smallish...

    Best Match-up for Week 2?

    Thanks for the MW pick! You will definitely be in the minority on this one! Should be a great game as MW has the skill players to keep up with a lot of teams... both teams have multiple players that go both ways, so it could be a battle of attrition too. Jake Bellizzi is a beast at RB and is...

    Best Match-up for Week 2?

    #12 Maine West vs. #5 Willowbrook MW still has lots to prove as no one thinks they belong here, or can hang around, even after beating a very solid Benet team. Willowbrook is very sound and has excellent coaching... MW has several high-level playmakers and a RB in Jake Bellizzi who may be one...

    Q: Who gets exposed starting this weekend?

    None taken... it was a great game by both sides on the field w a lot of guys from both sides helping the other team up and very little trash talking. One of those nights where you know neither team should have to go home w a loss. Good luck to everyone the rest of the way! Come watch MW...

    Q: Who gets exposed starting this weekend?

    Not sure any supposed "internal issues" had anything to do with the Maine West win... both teams played very well and it was an exciting game right down to the end... hated to see it end for either team as they both played their hearts out. Lot of respect on the field from players on both sides...

    Sleeper team

    Great kid, incredible athlete... he's good friends with my son Ely Grimmer, and it's been great to see the success that the entire team has had.... nothing to lose this week and will be fun to watch them take on Willowbrook. Look me up if you are there, I always have a pre-game handshake with...
