    IHSA competitive balance committee minutes

    I can only speak of the one school in which I am pretty familiar. In my experience as a student, parent and coach, no one is throwing money at kids to come play football, or any sport, at this particular school. If they split from the IHSA, I don't see much of a change from this institution in...

    New: Carmel Corsairs adding a transfer quarterback

    I don't follow this very closely anymore ,but based on the number of kids moving each year, it is pretty clear no one pays attention to the transfer rules anymore within the IHSA. After briefly looking at the IHSA handbook, I presume his family would have to move if he is going from public to...

    Q of the Week: Best High School Stadiums in Illinois

    LaSalle-Peru has to be on the list. Best high school stadium/atmosphere in Illinois that I have attended a game. Unpopular opinion, but I am not crazy about GW home field. I have been to a handful of games there and to me it is just meh. It's nice, but I don't get the hype about it being...

    CCL/ESCC schedules for 2026

    MC is the only game I see as a sure loss. Probably a small underdog vs PC and pick em vs IC. Favorites vs Stl, MC, DePaul & Pats. That being said, I agree that a couple of wins to start the season would be a good thing for this young group.

    Best programs that never won a State Title.

    Some of those old Marist teams were very good. I remember Marist losing to JC when the older Rein was the QB either in 82 or 83 I believe. I think that kept Marist out of the playoffs that year. JC's QB was Pezavento, who went on to play baseball an football at ND. I played against the...

    Youth Sports…

    I do see kids playing baseball/football at the park or wiffle ball in a yard in my neighborhood from time to time. When my sons were younger(they are in their early/mid 20's now) they played baseball/basketball/football in the neighborhood with their friends all the time. It was not that long...
