    What sport has the worst parents?

    What you described is terrible and only heaven knows what impacts that will have down the road on kids who witness this kind of stuff. With said, and I realize that this may not reflect well on me, and perhaps it is just your descriptive writing style, but the motion picture I have conjured up...

    Was there one game that put your school on the map?

    Your looking at it in eras is the only way to look at the program fairly and I agree with you that those games were turning points in the program. In that vein, I would add that as they played nearly every from 1920 until 1981, any victory over Lockport was special as they were the only “local”...

    Favorite Level of Football?

    High School. My late father used to say it was the last level of purity left in the game; I recognize times have changed but it remains the closest to pure that exists.

    4A Final - Rochester 59 v Larry 38 1.27 4Q

    I am not a proponent of the Success Factor for any schools. The kids who won have moved on and those that came after them are denied the same opportunity, all to appease a group of malcontents. Look at the consistent success of Cary Grove, Rochester, Byron, LWE, ESL, Leona W, MS, etc.. I do...

    Toughest Playoff Schedule

    I will not declare it the toughest road, but if the Hilltoppers have the good fortune of winning on Saturday the boys will certainly have earned it. They faced the 2022 5A Runner Up (by 1 point) Peoria, a good 7-2 Triad team, an undefeated Morris squad, neighborhood rival & 2022 4A Runner Up...

    Sharing Some Hilltopper History

    Being a man the of law and impeccable integrity, the 35 mile distance from home to school falls out of the IHSA rules. ;) Seriously, I will defer to some of his teammates or John himself on that.

    5A Championship Game - Ref Question

    I do not like seeing a kid miss the biggest game of his life over a split second lapse in judgment, though he damn near took the life out of defenseless player who had signaled for a fair catch.
