Never stated that they should be “ashamed” of anything. Your words - not mine. I just don’t think they are a “great” team - again your words. I’m noting that you are a fan of hyperbole. Thanks to live stream and NFHS I can usually watch about 10 games a week. I’ve seen HC’s games this year. I am also going off history and HC never impresses me, quite frankly. It’s not a football school. Now, if we’re talking golf and tennis...just kidding. I think it’s important to be more pragmatic in your assessment of your / a team.
I recall a conversation I had at Meier’s before the LA HC playoff game a few years back with some HC parents I know. They were telling me that “this Red Devils team is special - its state or bust.” I mean it was really over the top. I had to remind them that their boys were playing in Wilmette on a Saturday. Didn’t matter. They were “winning state.” I listened, but before we parted ways, I said I want you to remember this conversation when you look up at the clock in the 4th quarter and it’s running. No running clock, but it was an ass-kicking (28-7). I recall Holacek calling off the dogs. Sorry to be a prick and so matter of fact, but it’s not a football school and history tends to repeat itself.
