    Bears Draft

    Best location to host the IHSA State Football Title Games

    WRIGLEY FIELD They renovated the place to host football games. The travel might be a hassle for many teams but the kids would love playing there because of it's history. I also think the playoffs would get the most media attention and even draw the biggest crowds there.. There might be a...

You are right that he does not have great individual stats this year especially compared to last year. I think it's because last year he carried the...
