    Late to the game on this thread... Aurora Christian took 2nd in 1A Marmion took 3rd in 3A. AC sent 8 individual qualifiers with 2 winning state titles. Only 3 graduating seniors so AC will be a contender again in the 2020 season. 106 - Joel Mylin -State Champion 120 - Nathan Orosco - 3rd place...

    Any Wrestling fans?

    Aurora Christian beat Lena-Winslow in the 2018 quarterfinals on their way to winning the state championship. AC takes 2nd place this year. Not terrible. To say "hoping they don't ever see them again" is not accurate. Competitors like facing challenges.

    Agreed. Tennessee is great even if Memphis is a dump. The only good thing about Memphis is FedEx and Fried Chicken.

    Question for the board.......

    If we are going to dredge up sports injustices from 1984, let's also discuss Game 5 of the NLCS. Anyone remember? Chicago Cubs go up 2-0 in the best-of-five series. The first two games were played at Wrigley Field. The next two games were played at Jack Murphy Stadium in San Diego. The Padres...

    Why so much discussion about defining what this league is? Just receive it for what it is and enjoy some "off-season" football. This is not the NFL. It is not trying to compete with the NFL. This is a 10-week season February thru April. It doesn't conflict with the NFL or MLB. I don't care...

    If you love the sport, if it’s your passion, you play as long as you can.

    For a 10 week season that’s $7500 per game. Not terrible.

    Eagles @ Bears

    Full Meatball Mode here... Bears win big. I don't believe the Eagles hype. This may be a 7 point game at the half. Bears open it up on the second half. I say 31-10 Bears. Home field advantage will be ridiculous Bears defense will reek havoc on Philly Bears +2 turnover advantage Bears will...

    Former Nequa Valley basketball player smacks face on backboard - makes SportsCenter

    Just saw this on SportsCenter. Never seen a kid jump so high that he smacks his face on backboard. He then fell flat on his back to the hard wood surface. Here's the video... https://www.si.com/college-basketball/2019/01/02/north-central-blaise-meredith-head-backboard-during-block-attempt-video...

    Signing day list

    Who won the recruiting battle between Northwestern, University of Illinois and NIU? I read a Facebook article which said NIU signed 16 kids and 13 of them were from Illinois.

    Nazareth’s Michael Love chooses NIU.

    NIU alumnus here. Very excited!!! NIU is a great place for local talent to play D-1 football. It's close to home. Strength of schedule is good. Opportunity to contribute sooner than a Power Five conference program. All four of the Aurora Christian kids I know who went there had great experiences...

    The "Golden Years" of high school football...

    Golden Years @ Aurora Christian... From my perspective, I'd have to say 2007-2013 was the peak. Before the housing market collapsed in late 2008, the school was at its highest enrollment, about 400 students. The school started football in 1998. Don Beebe retired from the NFL, returned home to...
