New IHSA bylaw proposal seeks to eliminate Prep Bowl

Read the posts on this board about the Prep Bowl almost no one mentions anything other than how it’s a great way to play underclassmen and get them ready for the next season. That is the reasoning for this new by law.

A fair compromise is that Prep Bowl should be limited to Seniors only so that no one is gaining a competitive advantage.
Am I mistaken or doesn’t every school have the right to practice until Thanksgiving weekend? I may be wrong but I think I remember this being discussed before. I think I remember hearing that most schools don’t practice to allow the athletes to recover and move on to winter sports.

WARREN 31, PALATINE 24 —- FINAL

I keep drinking the Palatine Kool Aid every year.
Me too. Year in and year out I see Palatine play and every year I think they are going to make a deep run. I know two of those years injury to the QBs hurt them. They are a hard team to figure out. Warren is another team that’s traditionally hard to figure out too. This should’ve been called the Enigma Bowl.

FWIW- It’s false that Fenwick went 3-6 in 2022, as stated in the Sycamore AD’s rationale.

They went 5-4 — season included a week 8 forfeit win over Marian Central Catholic.

Fenwick lost 14-6 to Morgan Park in the first round of the 5A playoffs, at Gately.

Friars then entered the Prep Bowl Playoffs and defeated D & Larry before losing to Simeon in Prep Bowl, which was played at Triton.

4A predictions

As I type, I find it difficult to hear you with the nine state championship rings clanking together. So we will tolerate your insolence as we do not know how to act when we lose a first round playoff game. Maybe you could give us some guidance. How does one cope? How does one conduct themselves as they turn their jersey in for the last time while not having a championship ring delivery in their future? What do people like you do on Thanksgiving knowing you can eat anything on the table because you have nothing planned for Friday or Saturday night? Please enlighten us as losing is unfamiliar territory as some of our players weren’t even born the last time we had three losses in a single season.
Ya'll didn't know how to act before the loss either...
