2024, here we go

Phillips +52- I have a rule you always take 50 points when given to you.

Hun +15- I’ve read a lot of reports on this Hun School. They have numerous D1 recruits to Big time schools. 12 players with 3 Stars or above, several with 4 Stars. I’ll take them and 15! MC by 7.

SLU +18. Just a guess

ESL +14. Very rare they lost by 14 to in State opponents.

Sandburg- +36 @RockSoup Im sorry I’m making this my lock of the week. SR WILL WIN!! But not by 36. This team has talent and is well coached, Rita by 17.

STM + 38
Kankakee +33- Shoe in of the week. Naz is good, Kankakee isn’t 33 points worse.

Marist -7…..I think this will be a shoot out, not confident in this but I like Marist D line to handle MP Oline and make it hard on them

JC -21

Wheaton North +19. They fall that hard after winning State in 2021?

ND +12

Viator- -35

Hillcrest +28

Oak Forest +9

DLS +22

Geona +5

Noble +62- 50 point plus rule! Come on Laurence, you take 2nd in 4A and schedule a bottom CPS team for week 1?

HP+ 56
Grayslake +56
OPRF +36

Quick and dirty Rock Recap:

1st half: 3-0 Sandburg. St. Rita D looking fine. D Line playing extremely stout considering it was a question mark.

Coach Standring does it again. Not always the finest day when your punter is the player of the game but hats off to sr. Matt Grzyb for consistently flipping the field when the offense was trying to jam a square peg in a round hole. Did it all game with his kickoffs and punts, making Sandburg go the whole field for scores.

2nd half offense different story with just a great halftime adjustment, smacking the edges with WR screens, Half back sweeps, jet sweeps, basically saying we’re going to let the 7 v 7 middle of field players play rock’em sock’em robots and let our 4 athletes beat your 4 protecting the perimeter.

On the pass for a TD, not the best pass (Armbruster made plenty of fine passes) but that one was 1 v 1 and Armbruster trusted Davis to win and win he did, coming back to it and fighting off the defender for the TD catch.

If you have read my novellas long enough you know I love breaking a game away from an 11 on 11 match or interior 7v7 game if it’s not working to a 2v2, 1v1 contest. And the St. Rita O put up 27 points in 18 minutes doing that after being held to 0 after the first 24. Herman looked beautiful in space running over DBs half his size and running past the players his size as he ran to green. Trying to get his totals for the game.

Loved seeing the Coaches making the Soph RB earn his first varsity TD. Forcing his pad level down and seeing if he had “it” to get his team past the goaline. And the young man did have it in him to not be denied. That’s your endzone young man. Way to take it.

The other MVP could be the Sandburg K. I mean get this kicker on an NFL team if they still do onside kicks or sign him to P5 NIL deal. 3 perfect second bounce onside kicks. It was incredible to see.

Some fans upset the young Mustangs lost a 27-3 lead late but I didn’t care. Get the W, get out healthy, fix stuff, get ready for Week 2.

Rock,

You know if some of the subs were playing defense with a 27 - 3 lead? From the "few" plays that I witnessed, it does look as though SR will stop the run better than she did last year--so that is a plus.

Sandburg is huge upfront just like MC will be huge upfront. Good test, imo.

El Gallo on 63rd and Sacramento - that is the place.

My first place in Chicago was at 63rd and Kedzie - an apartment above the Becvar Funeral Home. Played lots of golf at Marquette Park that spring!

I didn't see your post about the burrito place. Nicely done, Crusader! I lived around 61st and St. Louis. Played Marquette Park over a thousand times, it seems. Not sure if you ever went to Maravilla's on 63rd and St. Louis--right next door to the police stations. Letticia left 63rd and Sacramento and opened up her own at Maravilla. Good stuff!

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.

Maybe BB, NV, and PFE can co-op 🤔 we can call it Naperville/Plainfield Rd Township.

Dang Rock! A burrito at midnight?!?!? My reflux wouldn’t allow it! Congrats on the win!

63rd and Sacramento, my friend. The best! I am not Rock, but thank you for the "congrats." It looks as though The Beast is the real thing. When was the last time MS lost by double digits? Good experience, though. Now, you know what you're against.

Nominate: Week 1 State Wide IHSA Coach of the Week

A
Jerald Bibbs (Maine East). With the impressive 28-point victory over Aurora East, it appears the first-year coach has had a dramatic impact on the Blue Demons. I do not remember the last time Maine East won more than one game in a season, and there have been a number of recent seasons in which they have gone winless. With Round Lake on the schedule and other possible winnable games, Maine East may win three or four games this year. The big win seems deserving of recognition.

It's over over. Not sure it's Thornton bad though. Like I said in the season expectations thread, 3 & 6 would be a successful season.

Maine East 34, Aurora East 6

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.
