    Marist HC Pat Dunne steps down

    We have no idea what all went into this major decision. The reality is he has to provide as best he can for his family and that is more than just finances. Maybe he also just wanted to have a chance at a more normal schedule to be with his family. Beyond that, there's not much to say. I feel...

    8A Sheesh

    In football, I think the ESCC would help quiet the naysayers by separating into divisions with the strongest programs in one and the others elsewhere. This is why the CCL Blue has the credibility it does as those teams face each other year after year primarily. Add in one or two cross over...

    8A Sheesh

    Sorry, but the ESCC does not serve Marist's football interests well. NT is a very solid playoff team, but going 8-1 and winning the conference means nothing at this point. Alumni want championships there badly. Last season, Dunne coached the hell out of their 5-4 team all the way to the...

    Dean who you got in the Gradeschool Championships at Rice Saturday?

    This is slightly off topic, but this is why schools invest in field turf. An 8A playoff game and then you get to host not one but two championship grammar school games from great feeder schools is only possible with a turf field. A grass surface is saved for the HS game and nothing else. No...

    8A Sheesh

    Don't miss that NT was the team earlier this season that finally snapped Maine South's ridiculous conference win record. I liked NT as a very good 7-2 team coming into this one - a sleeper of sorts.

    THE Chicago Catholic League Thread - 2016 - Week Five

    If they can't get other schools to join the CCL then yes, 3 divisions should be the set up. SICP should stay in the White until they show some success. Thoughts on a relegation system, like say each year the top team in the White & Green moves up a division while the last place team in the Blue...

    THE Chicago Catholic League Thread - 2016 - Week Five

    ESCC backed out of the Metro Catholic mega conference and went to a 100% ESCC schedule then and for some years after. They want no part of the CCL, and with the coed schools v. several CCL schools still all boys, it really does not make sense for the ESCC in that regard, even if it were...

    Rice 45 Provy 21 - Recap Thoughts

    BR's starters stayed in just a little longer this week - made it to late 3Q/early 4Q but were out then because Badke is a class act. Montini's head coach gave Badke props after last week's throttling that they could have lost by 70 if the BR starters stayed in. Some CCL Blue coaches would...

    Question of inaccurate statement during the UToo coverage

    Was the third quarter any better for you? How about the 4th quarter when BR was playing most of their 2s?

    Chicagoland Conference Realignment (Fake/Not Real)

    Great work - very thorough and it makes sense on many levels. While numbers and other realities may dictate a revisit among the private schools, the experience with the former Metro Catholic football only conference showed that the ESCC schools will likely not want to blend into a bigger...
