    Stevenson played at Muskegon in 2016 beating them 38-35. Aidan O’Connell - now w/ the Raiders, threw for like 400 yards. Awesome high school football environment @ Muskegon High School. Muskegon throttled Stevenson in Lincolnshire in 2017. That Muskegon team won the state championship.

    North Suburban Conference 2024

    In 2022, the demographics were: White: 49%, Asian: 37.6%, Hispanic: 8.2%, Black: 2%, Two or More Races: 2.8%, and American Indian: 0.2%. Would suspect Fremd's demo is very similar, and the perennial PUBLIC- not Private, powerhouses demo's don't resemble this. Is indeed a great question...

    North Suburban Conference 2024

    Yes, Jr. Pats 3 years old. Relatively new'ish. Lots more on the Bills story. Always 2 sides of every story. Know both sides well. Will agree to disagree on leadership. Good, bad, or indifferent- some, if not all of the most successful people I know on all levels- business, sports, etc... are...

    North Suburban Conference 2024

    LOL. Not Joey. My son played for Joey in the Bills, and am ecstatic that he's back leading the youth program.

    North Suburban Conference 2024

    Stevenson is getting back on track. Lost their way w/ the program for a minute. Coach Becker, is doing all the right things and most importantly- is rebuilding the football culture in the community. Starts at the youth level, and they now have a new, Stevenson specific youth program led by a...

    North Suburban Conference 2024

    Thanks for the NSC thread! Great insights, content. Am eager for this week. LZ/Stevie, Warren/Libertyville, Mundelein tracking to be 3-0 (likely 4-0)... Am a Stevie guy, so super curious how this team really is? They're making some great moves w/ rebuilding the football culture from the youth...

    So who's already in trouble???

    The optimist in me says not in trouble- but the realist thinks Stevenson might be in jeopardy of breaking the 30 year playoff streak. Possibly 0-2. Neuqua Valley looks stout. In NSC, Warren looks like the creme of the conference. That's 3 losses. LZ? Major unknown right now. They too could...

    So who is the 2017 State of Illinois HS Player of the Year?

    Difficult to say as a Stevenson guy, but watched a lot of football, a lot of games, a lot of players- if LZ runs the 7a table- no doubt in my mind that Sanborn needs to be considered. The kid almost never comes off the field and sideline to sideline controls a shut-down defense that is the...

    Best team in the state (year by year)

    I think that we can both agree that Stevie, Naz, PC- were all pretty great that year. Who was best???? We'll never know in any real quantifiable way.

    Best team in the state (year by year)

    and I say Stevie wins that game by 3 touchdowns. We'll never know. The beauty of opinion. The only frame of reference for that proposed match-up is that PC lost to LA that year and Stevie beat LA in the playoffs...

    Best team in the state (year by year)

    That 14/15 Stevenson team had 11 kids go play D1 football. D1. Their QB could have played as well, but chose to play baseball at Northwestern. That team should have arguably won in 13/14 if not for LA's Holecek w/ one of the greatest fake punt calls ever. That team had 13 D1 players including...

    What did we learn week 7!?!?

    Wish I could disagree. Unfortunately cannot. If I was an LZ fan I'd be very excited about what Merten's brings to the table. Looks like he brings youthful innovation, energy, and grasps the HS principle of playing your 11 best players on the field at all times. Hats off to LZ on a great performance.
