    South Elgin/Fenton cancelled due to Covid

    Corrrct. Carmel cancelled due to COVID. Libertyville was unable to find an opponent in IL/WI/IN/MI according to the AD in an email to parents. Crappy way to start 1-0.

    Hub

    "I wonder why no one has returned a kickoff out of the end zone today?" Instant classic from Hub. Rules Matter... I also loved him backtracking moments after his critique of the LZ kicker...my guess is the producer whispered in his ear to remind him he's not calling a Bears or UM game...

    Elk Grove Head Coaching Position Open?

    Coach Sigmund is a class act. I met him while working chains for the Elk Grove @ Libertyville home opener in 2015. During pregame, Coach Sig introduced himself to our crew and entertained us throughout the game with witty comments. His Grenadiers were highly motivated but over-matched...

    What Valuable Lessons Did Your Team Learn in '16

    "We hold these truths to be self-evident" If you're married to the zone-read offense, it might be a good idea to develop dual-threat QBs. Given the shrinking talent pool at some suburban programs, multi-dimensional athletes who fit this mold are becoming harder to find. In the face of this...

    Go Army, Beat Navy

    Overjoyed to see the Corps of Cadets take the field to celebrate the end of a 14 game losing streak! For all who appreciate this purest example of a sports rivalry, I recommend "A Civil War" by John Feinstein...

    3RD QUARTER: DeKalb 28, Cary-Grove 14

    Hat's off from this Libertyville supporter to a great CG program! As a fan of line play and power football, was looking forward to potential CG/PR matchup next week. Thus begins year 1 of the A.P. (After Pennington) Era. Reminds me of Major Ogilvie's 6 year career at 'Bama!

    Plainfield North.....a developing story?

    Thanks for the summary. I attended the round 1 Libertyville @ BB matchup and wondered about PN's winning formula. BB's defense was susceptible to the run but had strong skill players on both sides of ball. Am surprised to hear of PN's success through the air. I'm glad for PN's win because of...

    What did we learn week 9!?!?!?

    So in your world it's OK for a good 5-4 team to miss out in favor of a public league team with a gaudy record due to a crappy schedule? We see this every year...

    What did we learn week 9!?!?!?

    AMEN! How much longer are we going to endure IHSAs antiquated playoff format? Go to an 8 game regular season schedule and everyone qualifies for the playoffs as in other IHSA sports. Early round travel is minimized, and most importantly, ALL the kids get to experience playoff football excitement!

    looks like a dry land version of Marco Polo. Do they have summer two-a-days?

    I'm a fan of the Frankfurt (IN) "Hot Dogs"...but I prefer them Chicago-style of course...

    ND Uniforms #s?

    We have the same road uniform problem at the 'Ville. Parents joked last season that uniforms rendered our players invisible in the Bourbonnais snow bowl. Makes film study very difficult...

    Hampshire @ CG

    CG is a fine program but consider the opponent. I wasn't at the game...but the lopsided score seems to indicate that Seaburg kept his foot on the gas a bit too long?
