Guy Boliaux I'm assuming.

He was a senior when I was a freshman. He was the varsity heighweight wrestler and I was the freshman team's heavyweight (185+lbs) wrestler. I had to practice with him one day - he literally picked me up in(ironically) a fireman's carry, held me parallel to the ground above his shoulders, and just dropped me. Ouch!

But football wise they went 9-1 that year and beat Maine South 41-18.. ah the good old days...

Folks, we are so back!

CCL/ESCC (Blue)
Brother Rice 56 Phillips 6 (+52): Only a few years ago this game would have been a dominant topic of conversation
Hun of NJ Winners MC Losers: Should the Caravan press the panic button? (I kid. JK LOL)
St. Ignatius 31 SLU 21: Iggy's in the Blue feels a bit premature right now. Especially with the pedigrees in the Green, but the strides this program has made is nothing short of impressive.
Loyola 38 (-14) East St. Louis 23: I just feel that Loyola has been dying for this opportunity to send a message to everyone south of I-80 that they are the best program going

CCL/ESCC (Green)
St. Rita 35 Sandburg 7 (+36): The Ponies do their thing and won't break a sweat
Immaculate Conception 35 St. Mary's 6
Nazareth Academy 49 Kankakee 13 (+34): The Runner of the Road will not start this season at 0-4
St. Francis 42 Kenwood 6 (+45): This may be 42-0 at half

CCL/ESCC (Orange)
Marist 31 (-7) Morgan Park 20: EXCELLENT game here and while I believe Marist covers, it will be a close game into the 4th quarter.
Joliet Catholic Academy 42 Iowa City 21: The Machine gets off to 1-0
Providence 34 Wheaton North 19 (+19): Provi doesn't get threatened, but Wheaton North gets the cover
Saint Pat's 17 Notre Dame 13 (+12): May not be GOTW but it's definitely the most hotly contested GOTW. There's no way the Shamrock covers. They may win, but they aren't ready to be covering

CCL/ESCC (Purple)
Saint Viator 37 @ Riverside Milwaukee 16: Lions got a tough schedule, but there's a clear path to 5. They always seem to have enough dudes to be annoying to most teams they play against
DePaul 20 (+1) Deerfield 19: This is a HUGE game for the Rams as they have 3 guaranteed losses on their schedule and the other 6 being coin tosses. They took a huge step forward last year. Now they have expectations.
Benet 27 Hillcrest 12 (+28): Benet seems like a school that should be so much more consistent at football.


CCL/ESCC (Red)
Marmion 27 Oak Forest 23 (+9): A big change for the Cadets with Dan Thorpe no longer at the helm
De La Salle 32 (-22) Argo 8: De La Salle is in a very tenuous time in their program's history
Leo 26 (+5) Genoa Kingston 23: This is me just having a soft spot for Leo
Marian of the Heights 48 (-28) @ Rich 18: Love seeing a deep South Suburban non con battle like this. The Men of the Heights haven't been terrible the last few years. They just get brutal cross over matchups. They have a path to 5 this year, but like always, they have no wiggle room.


CCL/ESCC (White)
St. Laurence 70 (-62) Noble 0: Larry's buying a W knowing that 4 will have to be earned this year.
Montini Catholic 56 Hyde Park 6 (+56): Montini buying a W knowing that 4 will have to be earned this year
Carmel of Mundelein 63 (+56) Grayslake Central 0: Carmel has an IDEAL schedule to get to 8 wins.
Fenwick 38 @ OPRF 14 (+36): OPRF only covers because it's a rivalry. Fenwick is primed to have a very solid year.


Be in a stadium somewhere tonight and support one of the great American pastimes that brings communities together!

How are neuqua demographics changing? Every school is seeing that but in different ways. Some more city move ins while others have a large Asian population growing in their schools.

Welcome back!
Our friends over at Gambletron have provided us with a new feature: Winning Probability. Should we transition to a pick 'em/confidence pool? Or should we stay with you vs the spread?
Either way, make your picks - if you'd like to rank them (many 99% games this week), fine. If not, cool by me. We have a Pick 'Em thread already and I don't want to step on toes.
So this week, make your picks in the traditional manner (vs the spread).

Same for Neuqua. Won’t ever be good again, IMO. The demographics have changed and kids who love the game go to St Francis, Naz, JCA, etc. Having an indifferent school admin doesn’t help.

Congrats to the Blue Demons as I have many ties to that school.

Their all-time best player was on our varsity staff @ Carmel Catholic in my HS years, and he was great!

One tough MF’r.

It appears Maine East may have its best team in many decades. The Blue Demons might win as many as three games, which would be a significant accomplishment considering they are accustomed to winning 0 or 1 game in recent years.

And I'm not being sarcastic. I graduated from Maine East and would very much like the guys to experience some success.

Just felt like LWE was on a different level overall and especially on its OL and DL. I was surprised to see how often LWE passed the ball when the run game looked like it was clicking. Looks like they are going to keep the ball in QB Williams hands all season long to make plays.
