    Who are these "dudes" to which you refer?

    Rich East High School Closing

    Here is a housing-related over-simplification, for what it's worth. Park Forest has aging (1950s), modest ranches in subdivision format. Olympia Fields sprung up a bit later, with some higher-end varieties of diverse construction (think Homewood?). Richton Park later still with some...

    SWSC Week 8 Picks

    I read that when Andrew went down to B-B 2 weeks ago, they were flagged 13 times for 120 yards.

    Rich East High School Closing

    RE was one of the last schools, SICA or otherwise, to get an all-weather track, too. Oddly enough, Tinley Park was among the first and this was way back in the late 1960s, by the way.

    Did I miss something

    Correct me if I am wrong, but 4 games have passed since the East game and the chess pieces are now on the board in rather different places for The Brook, I believe. The skill sets of the players seem to be better maximized of late in their offensive approaches.

    Off season round ball thread

    I can not decide which is worse: resurrection of a hoops thread leading up to Week 8 of this football season - or - coverage of HS basketball in the Sun-Times that can equal or exceed the football coverage during the fall season. I know, and let's say it all together, "Then don't read the...

    Who’s in favor of teams with a losing record making the playoffs?

    The fact that universal playoff qualification occurs in all the other IHSA sports makes me wonder how this has not happened sooner in football. Football really should not exist as such an extreme exception, especially now that the time is here for a reset.

    Post your thoughts here on the New Proposed IHSA Football playoffs

    The biggest reason behind proposed change is to stabilize conferences and scheduling. Expanded playoff qualification accomplishes this. However, the the 48-qualifiers and the resulting week 9 situation should not be accepted. The bye is too extreme (this is not the college or pro level) and...

    SWSC Week 6 Picks

    You may be right, but this I have observed: Bolingbrook is a very physical team. I have seen some of those kids bring mass and velocity to attention-getting hits. Also, they seem capable of keeping opposing offenses off the field for stretches, keeping 10 in-the-box and pounding away. You...

    SWSC Week 6 Picks

    Will that be due to a let-down after beating H-F on the road the week before?

    SWSC Week 6 Picks

    So the cross-over record for this first season between the smaller enrollment Red division and the larger Blue moves to 1-7. It has already been stated how that tends to bake in 2 losses per year at least for the Red teams. Furthermore however, Red teams who do qualify for the playoffs will...

    Phillips 6 Simeon 14 -- 10min 4Q

    Does this Phillips loss now mean the worship at the temple of this ordained-as-divine team will slow? They have a nice story behind their achievements, but enough already. The continued hype about some of these programs who are outliers is growing tiresome. I know ... I should not open the...

    The Southland...

    The margins of loss by Rich Central are especially uncharacteristic: 49 to Lemont, 41 to Thornwood and 28 to Crete-Monee. Even though those are 3 teams with very good records, big numbers against the Olympians.

    It seems like Central has some RBs missing on offense who were playing earlier in the season. Anybody know where they went?

    Feeto's Friday Upset Special...

    I hear you were 3 seconds from being correct. Word has it Andrew goes 80 yds with no timeouts and 1:16 on the clock to win 14-10.

    Best Wednesday playoff game

    Great for fans, but not so for student-athletes (academics & recovery time) and coaches (classroom duties & practice/game planning). You do not see something like this under any circumstances at other levels of play either.

    Best Wednesday playoff game

    Tinley Park squeaks by Rich South 14-7 in a Wednesday night game during their Class 4A (of 6 at that time) state title run in 1986.

    Dream semi final Games

    I will miss Mt. C. semi-final games at Gately. No fluff ... just straight business inside the white lines on cold, grey Saturdays to see who qualifies for the finals. Pure and simple can be good, too.

    Funniest thing you have seen happen at a high school game

    Not so funny, but notable: We have all seen the banners that the home team may charge through before a game. So this particular banner is located in a busy, sideline area outside the end zone, not in a high-visibility location. You can see it coming, too - an amped up wave of players blast...
