There is a possible comparable for Reed Custer...but I just don't think the Comets are very close to it, while some of their fans probably think they are close...
Plano. According to the IHSA site, Plano made the playoffs in 1980 at 12-1, losing to Morris in the semis. A couple of those early years they missed the playoffs with only one loss. But their last winning record was 6-3 in '93...Jim Greene takes over in 2003. Did anyone have the predictions that he would go 3-6 in '03, 3-6 in '04, and then explode? Semis in '05, title in '06, title in '07...
RC fans are acting like their now junior class is the equivalent of that Plano group. Sure, they were undefeated as freshmen I understand. But they sure weren't the '05 Plano semifinal team this spring, although they tried to act like it Week 1 pounding Manteno. They have some nice players, but...there is no Nick Nasti, Tribune Athlete of the Year, on their roster. The Comets have a good shot at making the playoffs, but I really think their quite overconfident...
