    LA 23 MC 21 FINAL

    Best sight from the game today…Crazy Debbie who lives across the street and who went before the Wilmette Planning Board when Loyola was going for its lights and who said the Mt Carmel Southside fans brought an influx of crime to Wilmette, with a fist-full of cash waiving MC fans in to park in...

    yes, biggest factor IMO, but they will never admit it

    Illinois over Wisconsin

    The reality for the Illini is that you have to go out of state for the skill position guys. The high D1 HS talent level in Illinois is not as deep as public perception. Add in that the top level talent in Illinois is not particularly either loyal to the state school or national schools come in...

    The guy from Maine South is best coach in the state.

    Here is an interesting figure 85% on LA's fb team either were from the NT district or went to a catholic grade school. The largest % of kids from a catholic grade school at LA is OLPH in Glenview. A couple of years ago the former coach at GBS got up at their fb banquet and said, if all the kids...

    John Holecek new coach of Illini

    John is not going to go down to Champaign. He has a good gig at LA and doesnt seem real motivated to get in the asst coach rat race right know for lifestyle reasons. I could see him making a move once his youngest graduates, but that is 3 to 4 years away. Illinois extending Lovie makes sense if...

    The War on the Shore - NT v. LA

    There are some other gems in the podcast, he basically infers that the rain delay was the reason they lost, as they came out flat He also bemoans his lack of depth and his inability to play two platoon football. Coach last I checked, you have a student population of over 4k and are one of the...

    Private School Posters will love this...

    they are missing a huge opportunity, I would buy and proudly wear a maroon and gold hat with a slice of cake on it to keep it consistent with the historical and ongoing South Side mantra

    The War on the Shore - NT v. LA

    Strong words about Loyola from NT Coach Brian Doll after last week's thrashing "a lot of guys just go to their school (Loyola Academy) just to play football. That is not the case at New Trier because at New Trier you go there for an education and to play football second" -NT Coach Brian Doll...

    The War on the Shore - NT v. LA

    Gotta love the "Its a Great Day to Beat a Rambler" t shirts that have been popping up around Wilmette...here is my take ....LA stupidly took their foot off the gas in last years playoff and there is a lesson to be learned there. Never take your foot off their throat in a rivalry game, I dont...

    New trier / Loyola

    MWittman the current reality is that lacrosse is the second most popular and prestigious sport at LA on the boys side and it is first on the girls side. I expect that to continue to be the case for the for future. The sport going IHSA is actually a step back for the sport in Illinois as...

    New trier / Loyola

    I think for NT this is more like a guarantee game like when Alabama plays Charleston Southern, the only time they have sold out their stadium was when LA played Bishop Amet at NT's stadium. The Trevs get a nice payday for the game

    Legal Action

    I have a practical way out of this mess. IHSA with agreement from Fenwick and and PFN declares Saturday's game invalidated due to official errors. In a rematch, PFN and Fenwick play their semifinal game in the 7A Championship game slot at Memorial Stadium this Saturday. The winner gets to play...
