    The movie that never was...A Marist 8A State Championship

    If you look at a earlier post of mine - I too - thought the LA vs Marist second round match up was a crime. And the loser of that game was a victim of once again the the seeding of 1-32 that counts all wins as equal. To me Marist gave LA a better game than LWE for sure. In the Marist game - I...

    Why York has a great chance to beat Loyola….

    Haters are gonna hate......Heavy is the head that wears the crown. When all you do is win - people are gonna get excited when you loose ( and we all loose sooner or later !) If a down program produces back -to back - to back state championships ( well the third one is still up in the air) then...

    Loyola (Hollywood) vs LW East (Beast)

    Final thoughts and prediction. New year, new teams, new players. Prior scores and victories, losses don't matter. All that matters is now. LWE went out and got a QB ( a real good one to boot)! If you can't beat them - I guess you join them..! LWE at home ! Revenge / payback (call it whatever you...

    Loyola (Hollywood) vs LW East (Beast)

    8A State championship next week in Frankfort, ( again no insult to the lower bracket ) and in the end the “state championship game gets played Thanksgiving weekend!, but somehow to me it is the semi-final game that has the 2 best 8A teams in it. I feel like LWE is like Indiana - all you can do...

    Maine South @ Loyola

    Get to Meiers early ! I think this is a defensive battle for sure and defense wins you Championships. I like the Rambler chances in this one. But Main South is Main South and I am sure Coach Inserra will have the Hawks ready to go. The fact MS made a change mid-year in the QB must mean they...

    Hollywood @ Marist

    Per my earlier post pre-game - I had LA a 3.5 point favorite. No way this was a second round match-up and a shame they had to meet each other this early in the playoffs and one of these teams had to go home. Perhaps a case for the old 1-16 seeding vs. 1-32 for 7A and 8A. All wins are not equal...

    Hollywood @ Marist

    Rambler’s have the gauntlet this year ! Mike Fitzgerald (Formally of York - who gave the Ramblers a great semi-final game last year !) Dave Inserra (needs no introduction !) - MS -then you got Rob Zvonar ( needs no introduction!) - LWE - All three will be tough games for LA - and then if they...

    What did we learn week 9?!?

    For LA nice to have the POY back (and more importantly healthy). People forget how one player (especially at the QB position) can change the whole outlook. Rambler's have a tough road with Bellevue East, Marist, Main South & LWE. Marist awaits with Mike Fitzgerald (who saw a bunch of LA with...
