    Why York has a great chance to beat Loyola….

    You're right in that it wasn't the first two games but it's certainly fair to say that nobody expects Loyola to lose two of its first three games. Your other point that Loyola was limited because of Fitzgerald's injury is spot-on as well. I think he's only got back to full strength recently. His...

    Why York has a great chance to beat Loyola….

    You need a few things to beat Loyola: familiarity, a run game to keep their offense on the sidelines and an attacking defense that can cause turnovers. York seems to have those three but then again so did LWE. It's rarely mentioned how much Loyola just wears you down. Still it's certainly...

    Loyola 21 @ St. Rita 5 F

    These two programs go back and forth...I think you're going to need a special player to beat MC...the last time Loyola beat MC they had a POY running back MC couldn't stop...not sure they have anybody like that now...wondering why MC is not ranked higher nationally considering their long history...

    LWE vs Loyola

    Two fantastic programs with a great rivalry, outstanding players (LWE's Henning IL Player of the Year in 2019 and LA's Pemberton last year) and two legacy coaches in Zvonar and Holecek. A Zvonar-coached team is not going to be a walk in the park for anybody...Loyola's size might be the...

    MC/ SR streaming

    It was absolutely terrible. The truth is you won't know if it's improved until the stream starts. Game day support from NFHS is very poor.

    New: IHSFCA Spring 2021 Class 8A thru Class 1A All State teams are here

    Thanks, Blue Ruin. I should have said IHSFCA not IHSA. Mea culpa. I am aware of the difference. It still doesn't make sense that either of those players were omitted, regardless of who was making the selection.

    Ah, yes. The mysterious committee you mentioned earlier...

    New: IHSFCA Spring 2021 Class 8A thru Class 1A All State teams are here

    He did nominate Pemberton. But if you look at the list, you'll notice that no team has more than one player-that's clearly what they decided. They ought to just come out and say it rather than pretend like it's a real All-State team. It's a ridiculous rule and process that means the player who...

    SunTimes POY

    4. Coaches misjudge talent of the player. 486 players are currently playing in the NFL who went undrafted. If that happens at that level, you can certainly believe it happens in the college ranks, too. It's an imperfect process and it was made all the more so because of COVID.

    SunTimes POY

    I'm curious how you know this. Do you know the player, the family or talked to the LA coaching staff?

    SunTimes POY

    They didn't evaluate him. That's the point.
