So Mt Carmel has only won 3 legit ones then right?
As I said in the other thread:

Mt Carmel has won 13 state championships. Of these, two were at the highest level at that time; ten were one level down; and one was two levels down.

We've lost five state championship games: two at the highest level at that time, and three at one level down.

And as I said before every title is legit for you and everyone else. To say otherwise is just, well it’s just not a smart statement.

Newt, do you at least understand the point I'm making about the caliber of competition you face in the regular season and the caliber in the post season ... and why it should be equivalent?

I’ll throw this in the conversation…. Inserra would rather play MC. Montini, LA, Warren, LWE,JCA,
Whomever all year. Not the CSL,or whomever we have to


playing the best forces you to determine your own destiny.

if you don’t play the best there are always questions. We coulda, we shoulda,


You wanna be the biggest name on a smaller stage… God Bless.


HOWEVER…, the boys sweating their balls off in July don’t care. They deserve the very best they can get and want it.

rather than pontificate about who we think they are, let’s let them be who they are!

if they are CHAMPIONS…. Let’s leave at that and be grateful!

if they are not..

they have had the opportunity to play the greatest sport at the highest level they can,and deserve our applause.

It’s a shame we’ll never know. Tremendous JC team for sure. When the IHSA had 6 classes……. Last time a 3A schools finished number 1? Or, when the IHSA went to 8 classes when was the last time a 4A school finished number 1? Doubt it’s ever happened. Not to take away from the kids, but you have to play the best to be the best.

That said, why wouldn’t the 1A-3A State Champs be under consideration for finishing number 1? I think you know the answer……

I said before… Us HS football fans, we get three more weeks of life. We take this weekends winners and do a 1-8 bracket for the Championship Belt. No Excuses
