What did we learn week 4!?!?!?!

[LakeCtyNewt]

Been a tough week both on and off the field for a lot of us.

Family is first guys no matter the opponent. Love yours because you don’t know when they won’t be there any longer.

Here is this weekend rendition of WDWL

1 - That Belleville East was unbeaten - and now they aren’t.
2 -That a path likely exists for Naz to make the post season but it resembles Lake Shore Drive in February.
3 - That the Lincoln-Ways sure can put in a show.
4 - That Warren has a two headed monster in the backfield and it’s not ugly
5 - That a big paw and a day at Duchon did in LT again.
6 - That whoever took the over in Peoria-Normal game was right
7 - That the Green Machine looks to be all the way back in the WB6.
8 - That the Montini also appears to be back - at least for this week.
9 - That we need to fast forward to some classics - Barrington-palatine, MC-Loyola, Brook-LWE - and do it soon.
10 - That nearly 40 years ago a young, sort and quite frankly frozen younger sat with his dad in the sidelines at Hancock Stadium watching GBN upset ESL. It’s days like that that make me miss him the most.

Have a good week everyone 🙏

Back in '14 I almost lost my dad, the doctors at Good Sam in Downers Grove couldn't help, luckily the good folks at Northwestern were able to bring him back from death's door. One of the 1st things we did when he was able was go to a OPRF home game where one of the posters here met us to take in the evening. It's more than football.

12. That a Saturday in Glen Ellyn is such a great experience. What a great town!

"They had a little chip on their shoulders," East St. Louis coach Darren Sunkett said. "Belleville East was kind of taunting them throughout the week, so they wanted to go out and dominate."

In a since-deleted quote from the STL Post recap, Pops said (paraphrasing), "They were talking a bit but Texas football is no joke. We wanted to do to them what Texas did to us."

Wonder why that quote was pulled and does Sunk have some editorial control over the Post? He still refuses to speak to the News-Democrat.

Belleville East is obviously NOT Texas football! Why, oh why, would you give East Saint Louis ANY incentive going into a game against them? GEEEEEESH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Condolences LCN.

 

[Silver Rain]

Likewise, Newt. Condolences to you and Micah both. You both bring a lot to the board.
