    ESCC merging with the CCL for all sports

    Wheaton Academy and GW are top of the best programs in the state, but its a fair point. I think if they make geographic divisions as suggested above, it will make a ton of sense, though some folks will be pissed about dropping Rita, Marist and Mt. Carmels.

    ESCC merging with the CCL for all sports

    Obviously, this is theoretically until you absolutely see a schedule. But let's say take Loyola Boys lacrosse. Let's say they will now need to remove 3-4 non-conference games to add 3-4 more conference games. So let's say they drop Libertyville, Lake Forest, GBS, and Evanston and pick...

    ESCC merging with the CCL for all sports

    fair point, but I think this could make it worse.

    ESCC merging with the CCL for all sports

    I won't have an opinion on this until I see how it is implemented. Will there be A, B, C divisions like in football? I think there will definitely be an increase in travel. Not sure Carmel wants to be traveling to Marist for a Wednesday afternoon baseball or lacrosse game, where the round...

    totally random question only this group would know.... any covered bleachers in illinois/chicago area

    Random question from my son, who is looking to do a photography project. I figured if anyone knew it would be this group. Do any Chicago area schools have bleachers/outdoor stadiums which are covered or partially covered? Thanks,

    Caravan Opener vs Moeller

    From what I've heard from some cincy family, Moeller will be down next year. Not sure what that means since I'm sure there are many years a down Moeller could win state in Illinois.

    Evanston HC opening

    Watched GBS-Evanston. Evanston has athletics on the field, but was probably the worst tackling 8A team I've ever seen. Lots of core fundamentals just weren't there. The right coach can get them to playoffs quickly .

    Private Schools 7 - Public Schools 1. That’s a wrap!

    ummm, interesting. Say you don't fully understand the issue without saying you don't understand the issue. This is a nuanced issue and Trost has never been one for nuance. To try to compare LWE playing in the same division as Loyola to Wilmington playing in the same division as Montini is...

    Q of the Week: So what's the fix?

    My thoughts on how I would fix it. Keep in mind I know some of these aren't realistic, will never pass, just what I would do if I was in charge. 1. Move multiplier to 2.2. 2. However, schools will be classified as either 1) their multiplied enrollment or 2) the average multiple...

    Bears

    Yup. Which is why I think Todd Monken will end up being the new Bears coach

    Bears

    I think we can now take Ben Johnson off the list of Bears potential coaching candidates. Guarantee these comments were geared at Bears and Jets.

    Public School Advantages

    Who? Even New Trier, probably the most well funded public high school in the state (if not the country) needs to go to booster club for very basic football supplies.

    Summary of 2025 classes??

    A favor for the board. I've heard some thing in drips and drabs but would love a summary in one place. Can anyone confirm with catholic schools will be changing classes next year based on success factors/ waivers/enrollment, etc. So far I've heard the following, no idea if any are true -...

    Private Schools 7 - Public Schools 1. That’s a wrap!

    To be fair, the population of Michigan is much more spread out than that of Illinois, making it harder to create private school juggernauts. Also, I think the folks in division 6 and division 7 in Michigan probably have similar comments about Lumen Christi, who like Montini in Illinois, should...

    Private Schools 7 - Public Schools 1. That’s a wrap!

    well, according to Jordan Lynch, Mt. Carmel is at a big disadvantage because public schools have feeder programs.

    Bears

    I agree Eberflus needed to go and should have been fired long ago. However, why is everyone here giving Caleb a free pass? From my perspective, he was at much as fault, likely much more than Eberflus. Caleb was the one who took the sack, got the team to the line late, changed a play when...
