    Bears Invite Skokna to Pro Day - HC c/o 2019

    Hinsdale Central grad, coming from U of North Dakota. Great kid. Remember watching him play - a true game changer.

    What is going on at York?

    That appears to be a great hire, and great for continuity. Congrats to York and Coach Gelsomino.

    What is going on at York?

    Anyone know (or have an assumption... or a WAG) why the school has yet to announce a hire? I have to assume it has something to do with getting their pick into the building or something.

    Thoughts and Prayers for the Lonvick family and Glenbard West Community

    Extremely sad news out of Glen Ellyn today. Erik Lonvick had a bright future.

    Wayyyyyy to early 2024 programs to lookout for!

    This is awesome. The only suggestion I have is a legend - either on the page, or as a flag out/tool tip when hovering. For example, on the arrows for Off Points and Def Points.

    Legislations to outlaw tackle football before 14

    100% correct. I’ve also seen guys who have turned into great coaches not be so good at youth. It’s hard to convince people they don’t know what they think they know

    Legislations to outlaw tackle football before 14

    https://www.politico.com/news/2024/01/17/youth-tackle-football-ban-newsom-veto-00136227 Proposal is dead. This doesn’t mean youth football doesn’t need some changes, however.

    What sport has the worst parents?

    Not backstabbing per se - more like not showing their ass in public.

    What sport has the worst parents?

    In my experience, while Hinsdale area parents may be vocal, most of the time it’s not in front off other parents - and I’ve never seen it come close to physical. Most of the time it’s background politics… as everyone is concerned about name and reputation. It’s a rather small world.

    District Proposal Fails

    89.2% participation - highest number of voting schools on their chart going back to 2011. Prop 18 failed by only 52%, which is a much smaller number than many of the participants on this board predicted. I am curious as to the make up of both the Yay and Nay, as well as the 76 "no opinion"...

    Parent / Coach Boundaries

    This is not necessarily true. Are there parents with means - absolutely. Does that give them an assumption of access? Also yes. But the former and current ADs are two of the best in the nation. Literally. Dan Jones was a finalist for National AD of the Year multiple time. He is an IL Hall of...

    IHSA 14 Proposals Advance

    I 100% agree with you.

    IHSA 14 Proposals Advance

    I don't get it either. Twitter is full of posts from many programs conducting out of season weight training and conditioning.

    IHSA 14 Proposals Advance

    The way I read it - 4 is "off-season", meaning during the school year, but out of season for the sport; while 12 is specific to Summer. I believe a point of confusion for some is "contact day", especially when football is the primary sport we think of. In this context, "contact" is not...

    Production value

    I don't know for sure, but have to assume Marquee being owned by Sinclair Broadcasting Group has something to do with their ability to put more money into production. Off baseball season, Marquee has to be desperate for content, as content drive eyeballs, and eyeballs drive advertising money.

    Sandburg IHSA investigation - asst coach whistleblower on recruiting

    I'm very confused on what the claimed violations are. Are public school coaches not allowed to attend feeder program games? Not allowed to encourage kids that live within the school's attendance boundary to attend the public school? Not allowed to have team building exercises and lifts outside...

    Early favorites for 2024 season?

    I think the WSS is going to be even tougher next year. The Sophomore classes of York, GBW, DGN and HC all had their best Sophomores playing Varsity, and all had great seasons, beating each other up. HC returns 8 starters on offense, 4 on on the OLine. And the other Sophomore QB in the WSS is...
