Maine South @ Loyola

Fun to be back at LA today. Not so fun result. Great first half but damn that second half got ugly quick. Proud of my Hawks. Next year!
There’s a guy in the DMZ between The Academy and Park Ridge, a guy that an unapologetic CCL/ESCC guy that loves MS. I was all in today. The future is bright with young Purcell.

Loyola (Hollywood) vs LW East (Beast)

Depends on what is happening in the game. It may changing the defensive scheme to stop the run or pass. It may be offensive adjustments or play calls. If you watch the game you will notice adjustments made in the 2nd half. Every game is different and good coaches pickup on what’s working and what’s not.
What adjustments? All their games have been over by halftime. The only adjustments have been who else is going in and when.

Loyola (Hollywood) vs LW East (Beast)

Can anyone give any specific Xs and Os adjustment(s) made by either team in the recent past? I read this phrase often used as a generality without any actual support.

Jca vs morris

I mean I can't disagree. My only real counterargument is to say that the 99 JC squad on paper was bigger, faster, stronger, and better at football than the 99 Morris squad was. And it came down to a late game TFL and missed FG as time expired for the team that was physically better to pull out a squeaker.

I hope this version's team understands that reality. If they both play their A games, yes I believe JC wins. But that 99 team did not play their A game against that Morris squad and it almost ended their season (and the revival of Joliet Catholic football that ensued because of that season).

Still don't understand the jet sweep call right into Goolsby on the play before the FG.

Koehler had a huge leg, but Valdivia was more accurate and should have been the one to take that kic

Because the Hoffman kid had about 100yds on that play alone and it worked but a missed blocking assignment cost the game.

Agree #1 had the more accurate leg and should have been utilized
It’s a game of inches… next
