Would be great if this happened but Mc is just gonna keep ducking and claim they’re the best team in the state from their echo chamber like the always do
Of course it wasn’t. I believe MC schedule is set for next year, just hasn’t been released. Of course some people will say we ducked them and say MC was scared, but instead of reaching out directly, they went this route. Easy pickings for off season trash talk, enjoy!
Who knocked the heavily favored Flyers out of the playoffs in 2017 and 2018? ESL hasn’t beaten MC since the Regan administration in 87.
You said it yourself in 2017 and 2018.. it’s about to be 2023 . Eastside a different beast nowadays and they will be even better next year . Talk is cheap and Eastside is willing to play anybody in the country. Can’t say the same for mt carmel
Does anyone really care if EStl is willing to play anyone in the country? What is their record against out of state teams that aren’t from St Louis area? EStL can say they are willing to play anybody they can’t say they beat them.
It's cute that he says MC is ducking people.
It is difficult to make the case that Mt. Carmel is ducking people when they play in the toughest conference in the state, which of course means playing Loyola every year. Marist, St. Rita and Brother Rice are no soft touches either. Plus, they can pretty much count on meeting the best the DuKane Conference has to offer every year in the playoffs, which is another top Illinois conference.
They almost beat st Francis.lost because of a bad snap on a punt . Saint Francis is the 11th best team in the nation so ..
That doesn’t mean they do not duck people. They have no control over who they play in conference or the playoffs. They do control who they play in non conference games. They played Phillips the last 2 years. Not the same Phillips as pre-Covid.
They also played St Rita in non con, when you are in a top tier conference non con schedules can become tricky since you are always facing teams that can beat you. Schools like EStL and Maine South have the luxury of playing in traditionally weak conferences so a loss in non con isn't big deal since they have 6 or 7 gimmies in conference.
They were when MC scheduled a two year home/away deal with them in 2020 when McCalister was still coach. Phillips also made the quarterfinals in 2021. MC plays in the toughest conference in the State, they don’t duck anyone. If they wanted MC to play in their showdown the AD’s should have worked this out weeks ago like it’s properly done, not some Tweet on social media
MC also ducked out of districts because they were scared of Juarez.
The intial thought was brought up by MC for week 2. ESL responded yes in the classic. Nothing has been said on the MC side since the initial discussion. Maybe MC has found a closer game which is understandable. Unfortunately nothing has been said. Either way, it will be fun to see. After coming to gately back to back years, it would be nice for a visit to ESL.
Only have 5 conference games and Eville and OFallon aren’t gummies. So basically 2-3 games of a 9 game schedule can be considered easy games. How many crossovers do the CCL have?
Also for some reason everything ESL for you is negative. To the point where you will call a kid STUPID just to state your opinion. Interesting.

Playing in the “toughest conference” doesn’t mean you aren’t ducking anyone. Their conference plays 3 games and a bunch of crossovers. It is not like they are have 7 weeks of competitive conference games. Also was it ducking when they chose to drop down to a lower division for a few years? Or not petition up like others have?
Pretty sure 8 of the 9 opponents MC played this year made the state playoffs. St. Laurence was the only opponent that didn’t make it. Viator?
“It is not like they have 7 weeks of competitive conference games”
St. Rita- State Semifinals
Phillips- qualified for playoffs
ND- State Quarterfinals
Marist- Round 2 of playoffs
St. Ignatius- State Semifinals
Br. Rice- State Quarterfinals
St. Laurence- Did not Qualify
St. Viator- Qualified for playoffs
Loyola- 8A State Champions
So your right we didn’t have 7, we had 8.
If you want to go that route, we can also say ya’ll are ducking a matchup with MC by not moving up the 7A or 8A
Gimme a break. It's not a question of disrespect. Call the MC AD up on the phone or reach out via email. That's the way it's done. Don't do it in public.
Social media is not the way you schedule games. Putting it out there for everyone to see smacks of trying to co-opt MC into a game. If MC can't schedule a game that weekend, what is MC supposed to do, reply to the tweet with a "sorry, can't make it" tweet of their own?
Not good.
This board is crazy people need to read and comprehend. MC is not ducking. If you guys go back to post #24 it was explained there. Enough said. It was mentioned by MC and Sunk was just responding
Everyone has an opinion which is fine. In the end, the two AD's are discussing the potential matchup.
Stay tuned.
MC is in 7A only and neither team won in 17 or 18 therefore neither team was championship materials in those years. On the flip side, both won in 19 and 22.
As far as petitioning up, only LA, Phillips and ESL can have that discussion. To be clear ESL is in 5A right now based on enrollment.
Maybe MC wants to play ESL but their conference won't let them 🤔
