The conference is definitely down this year. Where’s the guy that predicted York to finish 2nd to last in conference. I still don’t know how York lost to OPRF
For sure. But oprf is weirdly dangerous this year. HC loss was almost more surprising. York seems to get better late each year for whatever reason. Glenbard West had a great shot to be a contender but they’ve had monstrous injuries, esp on defense. They have just 3 seniors starting and 2 are now both ways. Everyone else are juniors and sophs. On offense there’s less of an excuse. The line is down 2 starters but they have fantastic speed inside and out and a superstar TE. They brought in DGNs young OC from the last couple of years and it’s been brutal. Supposedly he’s being groomed to succeed Hetlet; if so, I would fear for the Hilltoppers’ future.
imagine Oprf if Johnson didn’t transfer to GW. I can’t see Hetlet stepping down anytime soon. This is York team definitely isn’t as good as the teams the last couple years. I don’t think they have many Juniors that play so next year might be rough year. One thing that is good for elmhurst is the youth program is doing good again so they should have more talent on its way to York.
You’re 100% correct re: Johnson. If oprf could find a coach… Hetlet’s son plays at Wi-whitewater and you can see him leave after games to drive up there. That said you’re right, it’s hard to imagine him not coaching. GW got the ball back down 3 with 2:47 left and probably wasted 1:40 of the 2:47 trying to get the play in. It was bad and uncharacteristic before this year. Kind of a cursed season.
johnson actually was at proviso west for 2 years, then oprf. GW has become a transfer destination
Interesting. We did not know that. As I recall pw’s freshman team for this class was pretty good, though they were mostly sophomores. Back in the day OPRF was the transfer destination for everybody within 3 miles. Glendale Heights north of North Ave is the more diverse area in the district and seems to be the magnet.
They threw a forward pass on 4th and 12 so I’m thinking someone else is calling plays.that proviso freshman team has 1 at LT, 1 at DGN, 2 at glenbard east, 1 at GW, 1 at st pats, also one wrestling at oprf.
I thought Glendale heights went to GE.
