    The New CS8.... 2024 Schedule

    Discouraging news for the Spartans occurring at a really bad time. Although they were 2-7 last year, Southeast mostly avoided the weekly running clock beatdowns that Lanphier and Eisenhower suffered. After being running clocked by SHG in Week 4, they went 2-3 their last 5 games with losses by 8...

    Biggest Question for your fav conference in 2024?

    Good questions. Here's a few more. What team(s) will most benefit from the Week 1 and 2 non-conference games, either from a Won-Loss standpoint or for later season development? After two seasons without making the playoffs, can Springfield emerge as SHG's main competition in the West division...

    Football Broadcast back in the day

    Sam Madonia has announced SHG football for over 30 years. He also used to announce some basketball, particularly the annual City tournament. Steve Bridge and Chris McCloud have handled Rochester football during Derek's tenure. Jim Ruppert, who was the long-time SJR sports editor, calls a mix of...

    1A Althoff's Schedule

    After playing this schedule, they should be battle-tested for the playoffs. St Teresa and Tolono Unity have both been Central Illinois powerhouses, although Saint T fell to 1-8 in '23 after winning the 2A title in '22. Tolono was 9-3 and made it to the 3A Quarterfinals last year.

    JJ McCarthy to draft

    Listening to Mike Greenberg today, he was confident that Williams will go #1, Daniels #2, and that McCarthy will be either the 3rd or 4th pick.

    The New CS8.... 2024 Schedule

    Ratsy, Do you know if Chatham's Week 2 opponent is the same Missouri team that played Mt Vernon last year?

    New Video: 20 Minutes with Glenwood HC David Hay

    Enjoyed the interview. Chatham has the most returning offensive firepower in the CS8. They get 2 more years of QB Colton Knoedler who threw for almost 2,400 yards and 30 TD's as a Sophomore. He ran for 5 TD's as well. The Titans also return their top 4 WR's, who accounted for over 2,000 yards...

    2024 Season

    Sounds like JCA will play Chatham Glenwood in the Metro East this weekend. Chatham has won 2 state titles and came in 2nd 2022. They made it to the Sectionals last year and graduated their top pitcher (Parker Detmers-Louisville) but return a lot of talent. Chatham is probably a slight favorite...

    The New CS8.... 2024 Schedule

    Knowing nothing about their Week 1 Missouri opponent, I will say the Crimsons have a schedule which favors a playoff berth even without RB Mitchell. How much improvement will we see from Springfield (Week 6) and possibly Southeast (Week 5), who was playing better at the end of '23 and return...

    The New CS8.... 2024 Schedule

    Jacksonville and MacArthur could be real wild cards this year, possibly still in the hunt for the playoffs but also potentially down from recent years. Jacksonville has been a 4 to 6 win team the last 3 years. They went from 6 wins in '22 with an elite QB in Elijah Owens to 4 last year without...

    2024 Season

    Rochester got hot in the 2nd half of the '23 season and made a surprise run to the 3A sectional finals before losing to Champaign Central. They return all but one starter along with their top 3 pitchers. P-1B Jack Swaney is a 4-year starter who has signed with NIU. Many of the key players were...

    Tell us something….

    2 stories regarding interactions with MLB pitchers in the 1990's. I played in a golf outing near Waterloo that also included ex St Louis Cardinal Danny Cox. Baseball Reference lists him as 6"4" and 235 from his playing days. When I saw him, he had been retired for a few years and was a little...

    Tell us something….

    I was the reverse of Al Bundy, who we remember scored 4 Touchdowns not in a season but in a single game for Polk High. Over my 2 seasons of Varsity Basketball, I managed to net a grand total of 32 points.

    Lunch Counter Guy - Stolen Valor

    In 1995, Mike Tyson fought a guy named Peter McNeeley. Taken advantage of his 15 minutes of fame, McNeeley went on David Letterman before the fight and offered this prediction "I'm Hurricane Peter McNeely from Medfield Mass. On Saturday night, watch me kick Tyson's a**." Tyson stopped McNeeley...
