    It's official: Holecek steps down at Loyola

    Going to give him credit for the 4th state championship in Pritzker spring-season fiasco, best team LA EVER had and absolutely crushed that season with POY Pemberton. so 4 championships in last 7 years, curious what is next?

    Round 2 playoff musts

    LA vs Edwardsville is the best game no one will see. LA w/o 1st and 2nd string RBs - 4-5 guys on sideline on crutches last Sat (RBs injuries cost LA a state championship vs lockport a few years ago when the 5th string back fumbled/ineffective) Edwardsville is vastly underrated - look at...

    So who is the 2021 IHSA Coach of the Year?

    well if its Coach of the YEAR FOR ALL OF 2021, I'd go with Holecek at 18-1 given their strength of schedule -- LA was untouchable in the Spring Season and just one game short this fall
