St. Rita played a tough schedule this year, 5 of their 6 loses came from teams still playing next week in the semis. BR, LA, Richards, Montini, and JCA. The new CCL will be tough next season.
Talking about grass fields, have you ever seen Eisenhower's field in Blue Island? AMAZING!! Whoever takes care of the field might also work on the grounds crew of a professional field or golf course. The grass in full, no worn spots. Its really nice.
i believe Rita has about 35 of so returning players from last years playoff team and the sophomores went 8-1. They should have some talent left to be competitive.
It's so parents in the stands can see if it's their kid injured on the field. Has nothing to do with respecting an injured athlete. Was something they asked kids to do in youth football. Did it hurt people's feelings because they didn't kneel? Was someone offended because they stood? Geez.
Do freshman and sophomore scores and records really mean anything? I've seen 9-0 freshman not have success at the varsity level. It's all about growth and training.
Who remember when only Conference champs made the playoffs? Back when Reavis won a state title, they beat Eisenhower 7 to 3 and Eisenhower ended their season 8-1 and didn't go to the playoffs.
