On the topic of QB's...it's seemed like Shanklin is for sure the guy for the Flyers, at least on here. I know Ellington's supposed to be playing DB, but was there any thought about giving him the job?
Thats the reason he left Althoff. I think he realized qb wasnt a position he was going to play at the next level. And Althoff couldnt afford for him not to play QB.

We have a Big Studd sophomore who is likely the better QB, and it is better that he get the reps now. Ellington is a DB - he can get some high-end reps at ESL that Althoff could not provide.

Who is actually going to take the MC snaps
Who is actually going to take the MC snaps in 18 days?
Here you go, Happy Friday. It was a true competition. Don't know how much rope he will get as the Plainfield East QB looked pretty good I was told, but as I told people months ago, he came to MC just wanting to compete for the spot, he wasn't recruited or seeked out as others claimed, he just came and asked for a shot. We'll see who is the QB at the end of the season but for now, it looks like Startz. Hope he can play QB like his brother played LB for MC.

I wish he was a troll cause then it would be funny but he is just sad at this point.
I have no idea what type of football acumen he has. But if im the HC or AD at Antioch theres no way im allowing him to coach fb anymore. He's embarrassing. And has the same mentality most coaches try and coach out of young players.

I was at the last one at ISU....was a great time. I think MC wins with relative ease.

In 1992 a nearly identical picture was on the back of the Sun Times with Coach Frank and 4 players, one of them being Donovan McNabb all holding the last 4 State Trophies when they were going for #5.....and we lost in the semis!!!

IG thread says it all: Mount Carmel (IL) is locking in ahead of their ESPN Kickoff matchup.

They talk about showing out for Illinois and the Catholic League, playing on ESPN and all of their accolades. That game is 15 days away! Keep having your SportsCenter dreams!

Should they have told ESPN "We know your sending a crew down here to put our school on a national stage but we can't do this 30 second probably scripted commercial for you because we are focused on East St. Louis" 😂. Trust me they are 100% focused ya goof!

Yeah, words matter, but so do luck and magic, which will factor large tomorrow night. Lynch has the luck of the Irish and the touch of a magician.

Nah, a few weeks ago I had the pleasure of meeting a few of the players and they were asked what ONE game are you looking forward to this year ALL replied ESL. No pause. No mention of a CCL division game. Didn’t bring up a game against someone they grew up with and are still friends. No mention of a national opponent. Obviously this was filmed for ESPN to promote their upcoming game.
