    Old School Grass Fields.

    Herscher has turf now, baseball and softball fields almost done.. new football building and football bleachers for next year.. something like $10M on athletic facilities, not bad for a 3A downstate school Heard Momence getting it next year

    ICE week 6

    Herscher was in the NEC for 7 years, went like 40-2 in that time and was asked to leave before it disbanded.. but somewhere around there.. then we met up with them again in the SPC several years later..

    ICE week 6

    Herscher has a freshmen schedule, but think only about 6 games.. with about 8 sophs playing only varsity, I am sure some freshmen play a lot of JV..

    I remember the NEC with Lisle, Lemont, Evergreen Park, Elmwood Park, Minooka, Herscher, Westmont

    Bishop Mac now 3-2

    That was my point, adding turf is a long term investment in the program, not going to impact 2023 football... And to be fair to football, the athletic talent in the building has been down since 2018 or 19... when baseball and basketball are well below .500, you know the talent isn't there as...

    Bishop Mac now 3-2

    Well Herscher has had their turf installed for about 6 weeks now... baseball and softball getting it installed now.. give it time... And when I look at the rosters at BB, Herscher and Manteno I see names of kids whose parents went to Mac, so most of the alumni are not sending their kids there..

    Bishop Mac now 3-2

    They won't close, but their days of being a sports power are likely done.. Kankakee, Bradley, Herscher and St Anne have turf, Momence is adding it next year.. Kankakee building a field house, Herscher spending close to $10 million on athletic facilities.. Manteno and Herscher are great school...

    Bishop Mac now 3-2

    ICE Week 5

    Herscher new coaching staff staring down the barrel of a 1-17 start to the new regime, 2017-2019 quarterfinals are so far away... be interesting so see what happens there...

    Numbers!

    Only 252 kids, but the way the last two decades have been there, baby steps... but that is great to see.. from a football standpoint, these state schools other than Illinois all rely on student fees .. already seen WIU drop down a notch and NIU is really struggling to fund their current sports...

    Numbers!

    The problem in Illinois is that UICU, UIC and ISU are doing well... but NIU, EIU, SIU and EIU really struggling due to location, declining Illinois population and poor facilities..

    ICE week 3

    Well Sandwich beat Manteno by 20 and Peotone by 23... so the margin between tier 2 and tier 4 is rather small.. Maybe I am totally wrong, but I am not surprised if Herscher beats anyone outside of Wilmo and CC, two teams that should rough the Tigers up pretty well..

    ICE week 3

    The conference is awful this year, I will take Herscher by 13 Coal City by a ton Wilmo by even more than a ton Reed Custer by a score because at home I see people calling Herscher and Manteno the battle of the basement, I am not sure if thats true.. Streator and Lisle look to be equally as...

    Bishop Mac 14, Herscher 7

    Typical of you to open your mouth after the fact.. I recall you opening your mouth about how Mac would running clock them a few years ago and then got quiet when Herscher beat them…stick to what you know, which is about nothing.. Most people here thought Mac would roll them this year , but in...
