You make a lot of excuses for Palatine losses. I hope the do play LWE. Love to hear the excuses for getting taking to the wood shed.

I could be wrong, but I think there were a few instances of LWE losing a stud QB and that changing the potential championship team. Once in the finals and maybe once in the semis? I think it's fair to question what could have been and have faith in what the team was leading up to that point. The only fact is that we will truly never know.

If only facts instead of opinions were on this forum, it would not be very active.

The refs sucked @#$%&* tonight. That was just a rare one that went on Palatine's favor. They ruled the ball came out, Barrington had it, then they fumbled and Palatine recovered... it went in my teams favor and I'm still thinking "SMH...."

If the sequence of events you describe happened, that it was correct to give Palatine the first down because there’s a change of possession. Did Barrington actually recover it then fumble it though?

Let’s hope the three MSL West 8A teams go deep in the playoffs!

I don’t know if he’s making excuses. I would say he’s saying an All State qb broke his collar bone in 2016, and a kid who was playing at an all state level broke his leg in 2022. Both of them were the best players on the team and likely the conference. What he’s saying is if they were both playing, the playoff games would have likely been different. I don’t know if Palatine would’ve won those games, but the high powered offense would have been better against those excellent teams. Excuses would be “we just didn’t play well, coaches made bad calls, refs were bad, the ints were lucky plays”.

Injuries happen, I get that, but when your best player, at qb mind you, gets injured your team will not be the same.

Yeah, what he said - more so lamenting what could have been.

Ironically, when Palatine took 2nd place in 5A back in 1994, they had an all-state QB who got hurt just before the playoffs, and the sophomore QB came up to varsity and lead them to the title game before they lost to Providence.

The thing is, DT is an excellent quarterback - he was just a little rusty last night since he's been playing safety the last two years. But he was the QB that lead this senior squad to a 17-1 record over their first two seasons.

I get LWE would probably kill Palatine, good for them. Loyola was supposed to do the same to Palatine in 2015 in the semis, Palatine lost 24-22, and if I remember correctly, they couldn’t convert a 2 pt conversion to tie it. You play the games for a reason. Again, I know LWE would kill them, but crazier things have happened. Don’t know what the point of trashing Palatine is in a Barrington Palatine thread. They could certainly make some noise in the playoffs if the QB is healthy. Good luck to all in the playoffs.
