Hutchings most certainly coached Wilmington hoops in 94-95. I was there and my memory isn’t that effed up. Don’t remember Ken Miller ever coaching at Wilmo. Jim Miller did, he now coaches Carbondale HS.
I was joking, I like both of those. I heard the brewery was really good. Have not been there to sample the beverages yetI don't know about salmonella, but I would put Hayden's or Nelly's up against any restaurants in the area. Nelly's also opened their own brewery if you are into that scene.
If you go off of common opponents then I would think CC would be the favorite but CC likes being the under dog so I will go with Cal Preps projectionCalpreps projections:
Wilmington (IL) at Byron (IL), 1:00pm [projection: Byron (IL) 34-24]
St. Francis (Wheaton, IL) at Coal City (IL), 2:00pm [projection: St. Francis (Wheaton, IL) 27-26]
Massey has it at 35-21 Byron and 21-14 in favor of Coal City.
I think it will be close regardless. I expect SF to bust a few big plays. CC just has to limit them and control the tempo. Easier said than doneI’ll do some googling on the recs much appreciated gents.
For SF it’ll be key for them to stretch the field and get a few big plays on offense, as well as a turnover or two on D. This is a homer pick, but I have SF in a nail biter with a 24-23 final score.

Go to Coalertown44 house. Food is amazing and proximity can’t be beat.Babes is always a solid choice but Mustachios is close and has great bar food. Do not go to Wilmington unless you want salmonella poisoning

IHSA has "Don" Hutchings as the 94-5 hoops coach. "Dan" Hutchings was the 6-12 baseball coach that year. Reents is listed as the 93-94 baseball coach. So, the question should be, was Hutchings a football assistant, and has he been feeding corporate insider secrets to the Coalers all these years??? lol
Not sure how many secrets Wilmington has. We had about 8 plays in our playbook.

I think field conditions will play a part in the SF/CC game Saturday. This will be CC fifth straight home game. The snowy freezing conditions of the last two days with the above freezing highs of the next three days are most likely to deliver some slick muddy conditions. Might limit a few things both teams like to do
I agree that it definitely helps RB. Last week was the first time I have seen the CC field look a little sloppy all year.Yeah most fields in northern Illinois gonna be pretty trashed with the weather we’ve had. I would think a pure smash mouth game would benefit CC. Slippery conditions can be crazy though. One defensive back eats it and it’s an easy 6.
On that note I also think it favors R-B in the other quarterfinal. IC on their home turf is almost unbeatable. On the other hand, seems like when they play on grass, they are somewhat neutralized.
I like RB at home. If RB wins, CC will host, correct? IC wins, CC on the road?Whats everyone's opinion on IC and RB?

These should be semi final games to be honestI like RB at home. If RB wins, CC will host, correct? IC wins, CC on the road?
Good luck Saturday. Should be a good one. The semifinals will be really good. We are heading to Northern Saturday, so get to the semis and we will be back.These should be semi final games to be honest
Have fun and tell Zach to enjoy it and take it all in. And I’m still waiting to give his highlights to Sioux FallsGood luck Saturday. Should be a good one. The semifinals will be really good. We are heading to Northern Saturday, so get to the semis and we will be back.

Will Pullara be playing with his hand all covered up?SF HC quoted in paper today saying Rittenhouse would be available in the state championship game if they made it.
I talked with a friend and he has a broken hand and will be playing but his hand will be padded and covered. No offense for Pullara?Will Pullara be playing with his hand all covered up?
Hopefully both Wilmington and Coal City will get huge victories today. They are now my hometown teams even though I'm a JCA guy.
Sorry to hear Pullara is playing hurt (soft cast) and will be limited to Defense. I played football with his father at Joliet Catholic.
