yes sirrrr!!!!! . But he will never actually take the time to gather actual facts before posting on here
I dunno I think we've done pretty well up here. State titles from LZ Stevenson Carmel and Libertyville in the last decade. Plus three more title game appearances in that span.
Oh and little old Vernon Hills found a way to compete against the big bad private schools by beating zero boundary schools MCC and Naz. And I believe Urban Prep is a magnet school so they too are zero boundary.
Hmm, didn't think small class schools could compete with zero boundary schools
Which would pale in comparison to other high population counties in the state...
How many of the schools in Lake County advanced farther this year than the team you chose to make fun of????
VH is the only team left and I am by far not poking fun at a team making its first ever semifinal appearance. They were also one of two to make the quarters.
Point is, schools can compete with these zero boundary schools. It has been and continues to exist.
Maybe I should have clarified my statement a bit.
Phillips and all other city schools have a boundary. It is the city limits. Therefore by the definition of the rules they do not have an open boundary and should not be treated as such.
Now if you want to cry and whine about population density and how there is a much larger pool of kids to choose from so that's just unfair then have at it.
I don't know how long you've been around, but I know that in 2010 Herscher beat up on CPS Dyett HS pretty bad in the first round of state and OH GASP!!! Dyett had kids from multiple neighborhoods around the city as well as dare I say it "TRANSFERS". Was anyone crying then???
Yes, those are the selective enrollment schools that require an entrance exam just like the Catholic schools and literally hand pick each student that is allowed in for academic purposes. The Governor's daughter went to one despite them living in New Trier's District.
Those magnet schools rarely if ever compete in football. I believe Simeon is now one and Whitney Young is another.
Not sure but I believe the Urban Prep schools are in that same bracket.
Clearly the open enrollment thing has worked for Phillips but it sure isn't working anywhere else.

You mean like such academic heavyweights as Simeon and CVS?????? About half the CPS schools are multiplied, yet they can all get athletes from anywhere in the city..
And Rauners daughter snuck into Payton because they used a city address
All right, I'm bored and I'm done. I understand what it is that you want and nothing I say is going to matter. Maybe one day you can move to Chicago, take one of the many great coaching openings, and get that elusive state championship you're so desperately seeking. It is after all a really easy thing to accomplish here.
Yeah, I get it... the schools that dont have to let the neighborhood kids in get a multiplier, the schools that have to let them in do not get a multiplier.. but they can all enroll kids from anywhere in the city, so the IHSA logic makes no sense
HHS,
Or should I call you snowflake...we get it, you don't think it's fair, it might be it might not. At the end of the day it's important for everyone to realize Life is NOT Fair! It's how you deal with your setbacks and overcome them the next time that is important. Suck it up buttercup and get better if you want to win.
Yeah I complained about a field, to me it was more about safety, sure I didn't like that we lost but we learned from it and moved forward. You've been bitchin on this board and others since at least 2003 about the same crap day after day. Move on, life ain't fair!

No one seems to be commenting on the Fenwick fan in the other thread who is saying the same thing...
Hopefully our kids do learn from it, we return as much as anyone in 4A and could contend once agin..
HHS,
Perhaps Edgy can create a board called the crying room for those of us that want to discuss our misfortunes on the field and how unfair the playing field is in today's landscape. It's such a trendy and popular approach to "give a voice" to the wrongs we have incurred. Perhaps we can have hot coco and coloring books too.
Like I said HHS, you've been complaining about this since atleast 2003! The kids will certainly learn from the experience but you are hopeless to take anything away.

and we'll look forward to the bitching when they get beaten by a team that "cheats".
Actually! You're the one who started this thread as a means to post the score, because you thought Herscher was hanging in there and wanted everyone to know how a poor little public school was doing against the "cheater".
Ok with more insults HHS?
Has an open boundary school ever lost a playoff or championship game to a closed boundary school.
Since according to your educational gauge of excellence I don't measure up why not explain and clarity for me.
Unless talking down and insults are all your capable of in which case
