Public vs private debate blowing up elsewhere on the board, when the OG of public vs private games is just over a week away! Prep Bowl baby!!
Bring on the picks!!

Taft vs Simeon
I was at Gately a few years back for a Taft vs Simeon tilt. Ref brings the teams out for the coin toss. Coin toss goes fine, ref goes through his standard... this team receiving, this team kicking stuff...Captains and coaches return to the sideline....Taft kick team heads out on the field. Referees getting in place for the kickoff....Then...Simeon heads for the locker room. No kidding. Just rolls into the locker room like it's halftime. No urgency. First, everyone is confused...like did they miss something? Taft coach is losing his mind standing next to the ref at midfield. Taft kick team still on the field. Ref looks at the Taft coach, shrugs his shoulders, and walks away. No kidding. Taft guy losing his mind just standing there alone at midfield. Refs don't do anything, in fact, they just huddle on the Simeon sideline... Five minutes later, Simeon comes out, sets up the return like nothing happened. It was crazy. Never got an explanation as to what happened from the announcer. Don't remember much about the game, but the Taft coach standing there alone at midfield just losing his mind, was pretty amusing.

Taft in the upset!

Bonus CCL pick!
Fenwick vs St Larry
I don't know anything about either of these teams, except Fenwick is in Oak Park, and St. Larry sounds like the patron saint of hammering Chicago dogs and Old Style. St. Larry is what Chicago needs. He is Chicago.
Hot dogs and Beer! St. Larry!!
 
OG Prep Bowl only means one thing is coming! Sadness after the madness...

Taft vs. Simeon
It is clear that CPS wants/needs Simeon in the prep bowl. I could just imagine how wild the shock and outrage of a school that's damn near in the Northwest Suburbs being the CPL Rep. So here's an even wilder prediction. Simeon shows up right at kick because no one respects Taft. After sleep walking through the first half, they trail 14-8 at halftime. All of the sports admin go into the refs locker room at halftime and switch places with the refs. Boom problem solved. Simeon comes out of halftime with a 16 man squad ready to roll. Unbeknownst to CPL officials, Kenwood, Morgan Park, and Taft have secretly united to form the first CPL Co-op team at the half as they saw this happening and were outraged at the favoritism yet again. And if we know anything about playoff football its that the Co-ops rally. Taft pulls away in the second half and is crowned Public League Champs! CPS finds out after the game and banishes Taft from the league leaving them to find a new league to play.

Fenwick vs. St. Lawrence
A friar versus the greatest Leisure Suit wearer of all time? Some might take the Friar because of Jesus, I take the good time... Leisure Suits all day!
 
I remember in 83 Reavis was playing Shepard at Shepard.Reavis went into the locker room at half & someone from Shepard blocked the way out.They had to go get Reavis & they were issued a delay of game to start the 2nd half plus a 15 yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty after the ref got a ear full.In 1986 Argo was playing at Reavis.Argo showed up 3 minutes til kickoff.Argo got off the bus in full gear & walked straight to the field without warming up & kicked off to start the game & got hammered
