    MC 55 BTV 34 FINALLY! Almmost 4 hours

    Agree! We’ve had 15 penalties so far this game!! There has been penalty after penalty called and it’s ruining the flow of the game. Refs need to let the boys play and stop these 3 minute ref huddles. This game is already close to 3 hours and it’s only mid 3rd quarter. This is longer than an NFL...

    Why York has a great chance to beat Loyola….

    York scored on a pick-6 vs Lyons. Yes their offense was totally stuffed and didn’t move the ball vs LT. It was a bad offensive performance no one is denying that. What York did well in the playoffs is use their QB as a 3rd running back and get him into space. No one is bragging on York’s QB...

    Why York has a great chance to beat Loyola….

    Why is that so hard to comprehend? York is a Run-first team, Loyola is more balanced and throws a lot more. Yorks offense won’t be impacted one bit, Loyola’s passing offense definitely could be with the severe cold weather. Simple logic…..

    Why York has a great chance to beat Loyola….

    Just to be clear, “down year” is perspective compared to prior years. Loyola is still a great team and has beaten top 5 teams like Marist, Maine South, and LWE. But I would argue this team is not as good as their 2022 and 2023 teams, my humble opinion. Loyola is still a powerhouse and will be...

    More Covid issues causing cancellations in week 1 ....

    Of course I like most want our kids to be in the classroom. However for them to have the "very best" chance to play all 6 games, it is better to limit their risk and not be around people to lesson the odds of someone getting Covid and the program being shut down for 2 weeks. These kids have been...

    More Covid issues causing cancellations in week 1 ....

    I think someone mentioned this in an earlier post. Coaches and parents must tell their kids to be responsible, vigilant, and to not put themselves in situations (parties, get-togethers, etc) where they can get Covid. I can speak to our recommendation that kids who want to ensure to play 6 games...

    Spring Stategies

    That is an excellent question and topic of discission. What I’m hearing from coaches is that many teams will balance the competitive side and developing their roster. Absolutely the goal is to win each game, it will have been over 450 days since a team has played a football game and each...

    IHSA Football is Back! Full details from IHSA here

    Again, every team will have a 6 game schedule. However as mentioned, expect a big push for a 7th game contingent on roster size, field availability, schools willing to schedule, etc. Time will tell and anything as you know can change. But yes, I do expect to see a 7th bowl/rivalry game the first...

    IHSA Football is Back! Full details from IHSA here

    As you know, anything can change, however my understanding from today is that if a region is in Phase 4 then they would be allowed to play teams in different counties. If DuPage is in Phase 4 and Cook is not or vice versa, they of course they would not be able to play. So it would be "safer" for...

    IHSA Football is Back! Full details from IHSA here

    As expected they decided on the two week delay option to ensure basketball had a season. WBWarrior you are correct, due to football having to have at least 12 practices, many kids that play basketball will have to miss some games to ensure they are playing game 1 on March 19/20. Also, the...

    Thoughts before the big IHSA meeting tomorrow......

    There will be freshman and sophomore games. I think a poster earlier referenced to freshman kids not counting, that is not the case at all. All levels will have football games. By far the most likely scenario is the one I mentioned, football games getting pushed back two weeks and first game...
