Love what they do - field level, they catch the audio, strip out the superfolous stuff and leave all of the action.
Cmon Micah, at least show some North Suburban love to the kid that torched you from Libertyville.Aaron Stewart (RB) Warren Township. 8A Leading rusher has a junior. Plus all state wrestler.
West Aurora by 3I don't think beating Huntley in the playoffs is the flex you think it is. I think you can context clue that one as well. I will gladly admit I was wrong about them if they pull out a win against Maine South though.
I'll start. Mike VrabelPlaying a game of what if since this game is over (probably), who do you get to be the next head coach? Keep in mind that the Cowboys, Giants, Saints, Raiders, and Browns are all looking questionable as well
HEADLINE: West Aurora Avoids Getting "Dragged"I'm not really sure what the word "dragged" means, as used in the sentence above. However, given the context I will assume it was meant to be a negative comment. Just as a matter of relevant information, the record of the Upstate Eight conference champion over the last five first-round games is 5-0, with the closest win being by 8 points. It could happen, but I will be very surprised if West Aurora loses its first-round game this year (or gets "dragged" as you would put it).
You must be old too.....Little SevenI’d love to see another original Little Seven team get a ring.
So far so good; all the dark horses are through to the second round, even much maligned West Aurora.As true dark horses that have at least a small chance of winning a title, I will go with:
1A - LeRoy (Everyone seems to have Althoff and Lena-Winslow ahead of them, so this should qualify.)
2A - Chicago Christian (They have a difficult path and no playoff pedigree, but their only loss was to 4A Wheaton Academy.)
3A - St. Joseph - Ogden (Although unbeaten, clearly both Byron and Montini would be considerable favorites over them.)
4A - Normal University High School (They are battle tested in the Central State Eight.)
5A - Morgan Park (Forget the Chicago Catholic League, let's go Public League here.)
6A - Geneva (I will stay away from the Flyers as long as possible and go with a DuKane co-champ.)
7A - Downers Grove North (The Trojans regain early-season form and sweep to the title.)
8A - West Aurora (Do you believe in miracles?)
Edit: After posting the picks above, I checked the CalPreps rankings to make sure the teams could reasonably be viewed as dark horses. I believe they all can be viewed that way. Here are the CalPreps rankings within their respective classes:
LeRoy - 3rd
Chicago Christian - 6th
St. Joseph - Ogden - 4th
Normal U-High - 11th
Morgan Park - 7th
Geneva - 3rd
Downers Grove N. - 7th
West Aurora - 18th
All are ranked 3rd or worse, and even where they are as high as 3rd or 4th, they are ranked behind powerhouses such as: Althoff and Lena, Byron and Montini, East St. Louis and Cary-Grove.
It's been a tough week for this "in-over-their-head" coaching staff. They are now being exposed. Last two years was expected to be bad.Trestman-Fox-Nagy-Eberflus-???
Trestman-Fox-Nagy-Eberflus-???LOL!! Last week's debacle followed by a simple running play with 12 seconds for a TD.
Fire eberflus after this game--win or lose.
Two devastating plays to end a game and half. Coaching? Or players lethargic because eberflus has lost them?
