    Who’s in favor of teams with a losing record making the playoffs?

    I am not in favor of this. Many teams of kids have fought with everything they had to get into the Playoffs, and this like telling them it’s just a waste of time, and you should not be proud of yourself and the team. Why should we be watering down another sport? This is not good training for...

    What did we learn week 6!?!?

    Your right about Loyola, as they are always a tough team. Back when I was in high school about a hundred years ago, I was in the Catholic league with Simeon Rice so I am Aware of Loyola, and JCA. As far as what you were saying about JCA I partially agree with you. Them playing Montini in the...

    What did we learn week 6!?!?

    That is true and something to live by. It’s always the big talkers that never. have anything to back that talk up. So they just talk a big game.

    What did we learn week 6!?!?

    I would have to agree. All we can do at this point is speak of possibilities. We can’t come out with anything for sure. I know what I think is possible, but that don’t mean I think it’s a sure thing. As we have all seen, things happen in the Playoffs that nobody expected. For instance look at...

    NBCSC: The Year of the Good...Not Great.

    Those teams are in 8A and yes this part of the reason 8A is up for gabs. The teams you brought up are very good teams that have to be looked out for in 8A

    NBCSC: The Year of the Good...Not Great.

    Nazareth is pretty tough. Mt. Carmel is pretty tough as well, but they have a young team. I’m thinking in 7a it could possibly be Nazareth again. In 8A things look very much up for grabs. The teams to look out for is not in 8A St. Rita as they seem to be coming alive, Notre Dame, even though it...

    NBCSC: The Year of the Good...Not Great.

    Coal City, IC Catholic, Rochester, Bishop Mac maybe, and Richmond. The biggest surprise and possibly the team that may win it is Coal City. Last year they fell short in the playoffs losing to Richmond by 3. They were good last year, but much better this year. They beat up on Morris and Bishop...

    NBCSC: The Year of the Good...Not Great.

    I was thinking the same thing for the most part. Class 4 a is to me pound for pound the toughest. Even though I am a person mostly into 6a through 8A, I have included 4a into the mix, cause like I said pound for pound it’s 4a. I’m a graduate of a 7a catholic school in Chicago, but 4a has like 5...

    Crowds so far in Round 1?

    Mt. Carmel football has improved every week. Kids needed time to get use to new offense. Lynch is a very good coach. Let us not forget how successful of a program coach Frank Lenti ran. The Caravan did need a new type of offense that Lynch brought to the table. I think it’s Great that Lynch was...
