Why does almost every thread get taken over by ESTL talks? They are a great program, fantastic! I feel for the kids of the community that have to grow up in those 89 blocks. They get to travel out of state to play games....big deal...sometimes that means they only have to cross a river.

Here are some questions I have for ESTL fans?
1. How many players have you had in the NFL in the last 10 years?
2. What does Coach Sunkett do to promote education in the community?
3. After watching 89 blocks how was #4 academically eligible to play?
4. Where do all the funds for travel come from? Dont tell me Nike. That is not the case.
5. Of the scholarship athletes that go off to play college football, what is their graduation rate?

Can we please stop talking about your National schedule? That isnt about the kids. Its about the adults and their egos.
I have heard about 89 blocks a few times. Where does one watch it?

Thank you for highlighting this. I knew him way before his high school years or with the Fighting Illini. I actually knew him back 90-94 when he was running around my practice fields. Really happy to see the family tradition continue. I have a lot of respect for what his Dad did for me in my 4 years of HS. I'll def be following EP going forward.
I actually Coached Dustin the first year of Aurora Superstars football (along with former ACHS QB Nate Peterson). One of the first practices a kid shows up with a WA helmet and Ira comes walking up and asks where he got it. Kid says it’s my brothers, Ira takes the helmet and says “tell your brother he can get it from me tomorrow”.

I don’t think the schools hide. If the big schools are playing schools highly ranked they are not hiding. I don’t believe any of them are hiding. Their must be a reason but being scared isn’t a reason. 6A CC showed everyone that’s not the case.
yes the won but they played in the championship the very last game of the season my point was nobody wants to go play estl at the beginning of the year

Thinigs I learned week 2:
ESL fans demand every thread be about their team and will hijack them if that's not the case.
No true ESL fans base us usually quite until someone brings up something that’s not really pertaining to ESL. But you have to admit without the ESL, LA, MC, MS, GC, PR, JC, PC ,SR, WWS, LZ, Naz, GW, 6 Flags, Bat Just to name a few number t really much else to have a lot hn thread about. Good luck to all just don’t bitter like dadcoachsports. Maybe his kid should have attended one of the schools above then he would understand

It was a joyous, harmonious and loving chat room this week. Not sure what happened. But it’s good.

Thanks for reading in advance. Here we go.

1 - That we need to fast forward to Hersey-Prospect.
2 - That the flag got some of the swag.
3 - That I don’t know - something, something, Neuqua Valley, something something……
4 - That Simeon represents the Public League well.
5 - That preseason rankings are a guessing game and many of us guessed wrong on Cary Grove.
6 - That fast forwarding to Loyola Mt Carmel week 9 would be appreciated by the other Catholic League members
7 - That I don’t think teams from Missouri want any part of all gas and no brakes
8 - That Miles Osei has Elk Grove 2-0 for the first time since Edgy and Quags road the school bus together.
9 - That offense is disturbingly not part of Naz football this fall - at least not yet.
10 - That Palatine is clearly beat in the (MSL) West. Could be a rough year in that conference.

That’s all folks enjoy the weekend. Last weekend without NFL until 2023!
#?. That BR should be encouraged after nearly defeating St. Rita. Yes, it's a "down" year, but this game was tight and maybe BR can get into the playoffs with their 5th win against either Marist or JCA. I don't know much about JCA this year.

I can totally hear him saying that. Yeah, back then Ira was in the news as the strongest HS football coach in the US. I think he was benching about 500. He always showed off his 4 diamonds, on the back of his calves. No one messed with Coach J. I actually started a petition to get him as our HC after he would be named as my 3rd varsity coach in 3 yrs. There's some good coaches on the current staff that played back then or actually coached back then.

Well....there are several of them. But I still see a Flyer interjected into many of those too.
more than several, and yeah when it’s a national ranked team they usually get talked about..(this isn’t directed towards you) but i have seen many people say chicago private prep schools don’t run from anyone but yet the best examples of that are ESTL having by far the toughest schedule by any team in the state ever, back 2 back years btw..! what’s wrong chicago wya 3rd largest city it’s laughable why aren’t they able to get at least one program who can compete with other national prep schools …
