. . . will be Chicago Marist! I am assuming a two-year series with Rita hosting in '25.
Is Week 2 at MC a go?
Is Week 2 at MC a go?
Interesting: Rita's Week 1 Opponent . . .

- Start date
Game is 8/29/25. I am assuming that is Week 1; BR vs. Marist during Week 2?
I thought all CCL colors will have same teams for next year.
If the schedule is similar to next year regarding opponents, Rita's first four games are a brute:
vs. Marist
@ MC
vs. BR
vs. SF
I am assuming both Marist and BR will be solid next year--I know SF will be. And we all know about MC.
I'm guessing it is 1 year deal since after 2025 they reshuffle the divisions so SR and Marist could be same division or be a crossover. I know SR will be at Barda-Dowling week 2 and host BR week 3. WSF brings everyone back.
i hear they have some transfers coming in from suburbs. Losing Ritter, McAulife and kid who is going to Iowa will hurt. However they have 2 pretty big OLs returning. Will be interesting to see if Stephen Brown (big WR and top hoops player who broke collarbone in football and missed first 10 hoops games) will stick with football - he's a P4 hoops recruit.
I've heard 2 names for week 1. Nothing official yet. Stay tuned. Weeks 2-9 are exactly the same with Home/Away inverted.
So there is a possibility that they will be playing Loyola 2x in the same month…
I thought if anything would change it would be the week 9 game
I really would be surprised if Brown played. He's obviously a threat at 6'8 to difficult to cover but his career is in basketball, he's built for basketball, and this injury probably has him realizing that. The other hoop star Achilles Anderson is losing his whole basketball Senior year because of a football injury, but he's going to Harvard for Football and will land on his feet! Getting Ritter was huge for them last season. They will need another type of splash like that. McAulife is a big loss, and obviously Fitzgibbons and Anderson off the DE's. They lose Ricky Erickson on the DL too, he's a favorite to win State at his weight in wrestling this year. Their lower levels the past couple years haven't been their strongest. We'll see who Fitz brings in out of the IL portal.
I heard possibly ESL at ISU again but that was barstool talk only. I figured it would catch on here if it was bonafide but it hasn't yet.
SR opened with Sandburg last season and I see the latter now has Andrew Week 1. But Sandburg and Andrew were in the same division of the SW Valley conference last year and now they open with each other? I must be missing something, aside from the usual scheduling insanity involving the former SWSC members even now.
3 Home games - easily could be 3-1 after those first four games - only MC is a for sure L
Kind of the opposite for Rita this year as opposed to recent years, the offense returns some playmakers with Armbruster, Jones, and other talented WRs and I liked what I saw from that Soph RB with the awful name that not many Chicago employees like to say 😀. But the defense loses a lot of stronger players with Buckner, Kingsbury, Lacy and Danaher graduating.
From what I've heard, you are correct about the offense. Their O-line should be solid as well.
I think her interior D-line and D-backs will be very good, too. Owen Lynch ('26) is a very good LB.
You are right, though, about the defense overall. I hope SR can replace those DE/LBs, respectively.
