Fenwick
x2 for both of these. For all the hype Fenwick and their stable of Div 1 recruits get, they sure don't play up to it. Same with Nap Central - tons of media hype, dream teams, etc. Not seeing it on the field. Also, could never figure out how a school that big lacked the big boys on the line.Naperville Central recently.
Cant wait to read the reply to this one!Warren for sure
We havent had this argument in a while. And what does that have to do with being overrated?80% of Catholic school teams. It’s nice to hand pick a team every year.
And LWE is a small private school in the suburbs.Catholic school teams
Start a new thread!id like to see thoughts on the opposite of this….what team(s) seem to be underrated/disrespectEd the most yet perform well well I’m their class?
LW West, a few years ago when they were down in 5A before LW North closed, had some playoff advancements that were not necessarily foreseen, as I recall. Hillcrest, too, before it was discovered that RB Irving was the real deal as a high school runner.id like to see thoughts on the opposite of this….what team(s) seem to be underrated/disrespectEd the most yet perform well well I’m their class?
I saw one of the 5A LW West teams in person, certainly didn’t look like they belonged in 5ALW West, a few years ago when they were down in 5A before LW North closed, had some playoff advancements that were not necessarily foreseen, as I recall.

Speak your mind but also be respectful…

MS was overrated in the spring season, IMO.Didn't NC go undefeated last year (Not including the forefeits) and beat a Top 5 Maine South team?
They may be legit, but they have yet to win a big game. They are always ranked high, but dont finish.To be fair, I don't think The Brook has been rated high recently at all. And when they are I tell you guys they shouldn't be. Then you guys say I'm sandbagging. But let me be clear if you're a public school in a class below 8A and you're not a list of schools I could count on less than ten fingers they'd beat you.
HF has been legit. That list of schools would be cut in half for the Vikings.
Hersey did the win the 6A championship in 87Without question any team from the mid suburban . I say that having played for Hersey in the mid eighties, but every year they have a couple teams that roll through the season unblemished only to crap the bed in the 2nd round. Yes I am talking to you Barrington, Hersey and others
Yeah, like “it started raining at halftime.” Coach Dolledgy:
Without question, New Trier.
Every year we hear about NT's greatness. Every preseason NT is treated with soft-focus profiles or otherwise overflattering coverage in the newspapers and magazines about how this is "NT's year," and the abundance of Division I players filling its roster.
Then the Trevians play MS, and when the team emerges from the rubble of getting pummeled by the Hawks, the pathetic excuses and explanations start.
They went to the championship in 2014. In that run they beat NV, Edwardsville, Brook, and Simeon before losing to an also legit Stevie for the 2nd time that season. Edwardsville beat ESL that year and lost by a single point in OT to Loyola. Simeon thrashed Hinsdale Central and beat Naperville Central.They may be legit, but they have yet to win a big game. They are always ranked high, but dont finish.
