    Benet- 14 Lincoln Way Central-10

    If that is the case, and I trust that it is, I retract that being and advantage. Geography advantage still holds. But like is said, I am aware of cons as well. Thanks for the info. Wish I had money to send my kids there.

    Benet- 14 Lincoln Way Central-10

    I wouldn't say cheat, but there is an advantage when you can offer financial insentive to play somewhere and are not confined by geography. I know...I know...academic scholarships...right. Any if you say "cheat" it is more cheating making a kid sit out year transferring to catholic school. I...

    Benet- 14 Lincoln Way Central-10

    Look, Benet is solid team and deserves to move on. Bad calls are part of the game and LWC had multiple chances to win and didn't capitalize. It does not help when Ref call a player out of the endzone for a game winning TD catch where he clearly got one foot down with possession. That is the...

    ESCC Week 12 Predictions

    I would argue the better offense and coaching staff (how do you use all 3 time outs before the end of the 4th quarter and not the first time this season?) moved one. No knock against Benet D, both did a pretty good job minus momentary lapses. Hat's off to Benet, and I hope they win it all now.

    Hersey vs LWC

    Yes, if the LWC defense did not stop them in the red zone a few times. If they completed a few more passes. If the defense did not contain the alusive qb so we'll ( btw I think he was one of the best qbs I have seen this year). Agreed, if they could have scored more they could even have been...

    Lincoln Way's

    Absolutely not...that was kinda my point. Agreed, that it is cool. Also think it is cool that the catholic league, Southwestern, and any others that have multiple left too.

    Lincoln Way's

    Ahh......Doh!!! Too much late night football yesterday.....argument still holds...LWW-New Lennox and Manhattan...(right?)...LWC- New Lennox and Mokena. As far as PC and other private schools... geography argument is tough to use, cause they are not limited. Sorry, to divert...but yes it is...

    Lincoln Way's

    West, Central, and East are made up of kids from Tinley Park, Frankfort, Mokena, New Lenox and I think maybe some Manhattan. Sorry if I missed any, please correct cause I'd like to know, but the point is more than New Lenox. I've noticed those from New Lenox like to look past that sometimes.

    Kneeling for a hurt player

    One of the most bizzare things I've seen. There's enough and any football game to get fired up about, but taking a knee during and injury is not one. Now if Bennet was kicking the kid and spitting on him while he was injured on the ground, then I'd say the jeers might be justified.

    Hersey vs LWC

    I was there. Score did not reflect the game. I'm not going to blame refs cause there my have been some holding, but lwc must have had 150 yards in holding penalties. Killed themselves. The only score Hersey got was on a 65 yard drive and 35 yards of that came from defensive penalties. One...

    Redhawk 7-0 Over HF 3:45 1q

    Hate when coaches out think themselves. If they run Hall twice, probably win. Coach must have gone to the Pete Carroll coaching clinic in the off season.

    Redhawk 7-0 Over HF 3:45 1q

    No skin in game here. Ton of respect for Naperville Central...really good team. Very questionable calls against HF that could really be 21 point swing. Sketchy. But I did see one terrible call again Naperville so....

    IHSA Propsoes New Football Playoff Expansion

    Please for the love of everything I hold sacred about the game of high school football...do not let more teams into the playoffs. Enough participation awards already. I can understand the desire for better seeding, but more teams is not the answer. If you want to do something like this...
