DGN 13 Fenwick 10 final
- Thread starter eireog
- Start date
Fenwick, much like Benet, historically has the reputation of not maximizing their recruiting radius.
That's a shame. There is nothing there. Definitely nothing worthy of a flag.
His teammates’ reactions seem to indicate he did something dumb and the penalty was justified
I'm not sure you want to go there. The CCL/ESCC Blue, Green, Orange and White Divisions are 16-1 against teams not in the CCL/ESCC through the first two rounds of the playoffs. The one loss was Fenwick's 3-point loss on the road to Downers Grove North, which is one of the very best public-school teams in the state.
For whatever reason, the CCL/ESCC plays on a different level when it comes to football. I know, I know, they just try harder.
As for the Purple and Red Divisions, they are beatable. That is why they are relegated to the Purple and Red Divisions.
There are perhaps eight public high schools in the entire state of Illinois that can compete with the CCL/ESCC high schools in their respective class levels. They are:
East St. Louis (already demonstrated this year)
Lincoln-Way East (We shall see if they can get past Loyola this year.)
Cary-Grove
Byron (gave Montini all they could handle in 3A)
Sycamore (It should be nothing but CCL/ESCC teams the rest of the way in 5A. We will see how long they last.)
Downers Grove North (They barely managed to get past Fenwick.)
Kankakee (They played Nazareth tough in the opening game of the season.)
Lyons Township (If one includes Downers North, barely, then I suppose one would have to include Lyons, barely)
The CCL/ESCC will likely win three or four state championships this year, out of the five for which they compete. They do not compete in 1A, 2A or 6A. Not to worry though, it is a level playing field for all that participate.
It was a point of emphasis with the IHSA all year there has been a ton of taunting penalties all year.
Yea, I hear ya. This was meant to be more of a knock on the Mayor of Chicago and his lack of concern about the gun violence.
I had to watch that clip 40-50 times before the whole thing kinda made sense.
In the clip we can only see #22 (#26 not #22) doing the gun thing and Ref probably could not see it, and was very fast on the flag.
The only way it made sense was if #2 was also doing the gun thing (away from our camera view), which gives the Ref a perfect view.
Does that sound right? That's the best my old eyes can come up with.

It took me only 1 time watching the clip to see #2 does the gun brandishing while the ref is 5 feet away staring right at him. You can clearly see him grab the waistband and raise. And if there was any doubt that #2 is or isn’t brandishing a gun, you can see #26 (there is no #22) with his back turned to the ref (facing the camera) also brandishing the gun.
Pretty cut and dry.
PI flag = bad
Taunting call = good.
Ref is looking directly at #2 when the flag was thrown. I think you are correct, 22 got caught on camera….
YES I mixed up my numbers and wrote that as #22 (should have been #26) but that was probably obvious and you knew that after seeing there was no #22.
Corrected
