    Will BR Clock LWE to Open?

    Agreed. But what I think is happening, is that with the crazy NIL $ in college football, kids are looking much more seriously at private schools knowing that even if they’re not making the NFL, getting that visibility for top tier D1 schools is even more important. I know there are arguments...

    Will BR Clock LWE to Open?

    This one has always bothered me. East rolls through the preseason and conference, then hits the catholic schools in the playoffs. They hadn't faced anyone like that all year or played a four-quarter game, so they have been coming up short, or in last year's anomaly, totally blown out. The way...

    Will BR Clock LWE to Open?

    They were very concerning, and East had some deep drives but made some really questionable fourth-down calls by going for it instead of kicking field goals, which totally changed the momentum in those games. They were both East's to win, but they just gave them away. That said, even with a...

    Will BR Clock LWE to Open?

    I hope I'm wrong, but East lost a ton this past year, and the QB is unproven at the varsity level. East will be fine against other public schools, but given how the privates have been loading up over the past couple of years, I'm not optimistic about this one, even in Frankfort. No clue about...

    Massey Preseason Top 25 Illinois

    Thanks, I guess I’ll be there and see things for myself, but unless East’s QB made some big strides over the offseason, I’m not optimistic about this one for the Griffins. The kid has good size and a strong arm, but he played JV all last year aside from the last regular season game when Williams...

    Massey Preseason Top 25 Illinois

    Do you know if it's at East or BR? I haven't seen the schedules published yet. Rice is going to be very tough, and East lost a lot this past year, and the QB spot is taking a big step down. Their soph (now Jr) QB is solid, but I bet they're going back to being a run-first team, and that doesn't...

    Massey Preseason Top 25 Illinois

    I hope someone knows something I don't, but LWE at #4 seems a bit high, but I'd love to be wrong.

    TF North coach leaves for LWE

    The reality is that, with talent disparities growing, it'll be tough for a public school to ever beat those programs again, barring some crazy influx of talent into a district, even for those suburbs that are growing rapidly (I'm not saying it can't happen). Add to that that Frankfort property...

    Is MC Primed to Win It All Again?

    Minimum one loss to BR, probably 2-3 more after that. If you watched them last year, they had a very strong team, but once Williams went out with the ankle, they dropped two games they should have won, and never recovered. Even with Williams back, MC embarrassed them - and that was a very, very...

    Is MC Primed to Win It All Again?

    They may be fine, but there is no QB waiting in the wings that can compete at a BR or MC level, perhaps even others in their conference. Maybe a transfer is coming, but based on who has graduated, LWE is going to take a big step down this year. No way can they compete with MC or BR - or Loyola...
