    Question about old St.Rita Cronin Field

    Yes, public league used it for a couple years. Unfortunately, the stadium and school buildings were dilapidated, which is a factor why SR moved to 77th. If the 63rd street school buildings were more structurally stable, it would have been interesting whether SR followed MC's example and tried...

    St. Rita 7 @ Mt. Carmel 38 F

    He is not wrong. I graduated SR in 96. And bc my dad went to SR, I started following SR religiously in 1986 (Kenwood debacle was my first game). One of the Rita guys will help me, but I am guessing that SR has won less than ten times in the 40 or so meetings since I started following the...

    St. Rita Playing up in 7A

    I am probably in the minority, but I love the move. IMO, better to lose to the best team (MC), who is your historical rival, than win a 6A title.

    MC @ St. Rita

    Novickas Dad played one of the great high school games of all time for SR in 89 at Gately

    Best uniforms in Illinois? - for fun

    SR grad here and I hate all the combos. It’s an absurd waste of money. Go with a classic white helmet (no helmet stickers except for one SR decal on each side) and a pair of white pants and a pair of red pants. You can have 3 jersey options (red, blue, and white). Prob my age (45), but I...

    MC @ St. Rita

    Thanks. I was a student for the 94 game which was special.

    MC @ St. Rita

    I’m too lazy to check, but I bet SR has only beaten MC about 4 times at 77th street,

    MC @ St. Rita

    MC has won 2x as much as SR. In my lifetime (45 years), I would guess SR’s record is about 13-32

    MC @ St. Rita

    As long as SR does not play intimidated, the score is immaterial to me. Unfortunately, your prediction seems pretty sound.

    MC @ St. Rita

    All I care about is that when MC punches Rita in the mouth, SR punches back. The 90 and 96 games are two of my favs, and MC won by a combined score of about 65-10. But Rita was not intimidated in either game. Kuska does not fear MC, and I expect SR to play tough. MC probably wins...

    St. Rita 28 at St. Charles North 7 Final

    Hope Kuska makes them watch that 88 game. Time for some payback

    St. Rita 28 at St. Charles North 7 Final

    Maybe -29. Will need some all time magic on 77th and western next week

    MC-22 should be the early line.

    St. Rita 28 at St. Charles North 7 Final

    SR has lost plenty of playoff games in my lifetime where they were the more talented team, so I’m not going to feel bad about this one. Great job by Kuska and the team. It is only fitting that they play MC in Kuska’s last year with a state final birth on the line. I was there in 88.; maybe...

    St. Rita 28 at St. Charles North 7 Final

    Agree. SR decal is necessary. But not all those little decals that clutter the classy helmet

    St. Rita 28 at St. Charles North 7 Final

    Wish they would wear the simple classic ones worn when Kuska was a player.

    Great job today. He will be a head coach in a year or two.

    A Blast from the MC-SR Past

    Was at the game. Was utterly dejected after the game and drowned my sorrows at white castles.

    MC vs SR Breakdown

    Kuska was on that 89 team that beat a phenomenal MC team at Gately. If he orchestrates an upset of this dynamite MC team on the road, it will be one of his greatest coaching moments.
