I am amazed year over year that the #1 ranked team in the state gets no love on this site. Are their no LWE fans here? 3-0 and basically crickets.

Huge Griffin fan here - I love the Frankfort LWE experience - I was at their first 2 games and they look as good as ever!I am amazed year over year that the #1 ranked team in the state gets no love on this site. Are their no LWE fans here? 3-0 and basically crickets.

Griffins are the real deal! Team is loaded. As PC fan it’s hard to cheer and praise a team that routinely has stud players that could be wearing green and white about 8 miles west of LaGrange Road!Good to hear a fellow Griffin fan and that I am not the lone fan on here. Make some noise East fans.
Go East.
All the LWE fans that were regular are no longer regular. I haven't seen LWE yet this year so I can't really comment. I just want The Brook to rest all starters in week 9 after what happened last year and in 2012.
Everyone knows they are loaded and are well coached.I am amazed year over year that the #1 ranked team in the state gets no love on this site. Are their no LWE fans here? 3-0 and basically crickets.
LolCorey, a lot of the old LWE fans were driven out by posters during the public vs private discussions years ago. That is when this board became more of a private school board.. There are a couple of us still around but East football is 11 years in the rear view mirror for me. Even though I try to read about them and occasionally go to a game I'm not privy to the inner workings. There is no one that seems to want to pick up the mantle.
I just stick around to give Bones some grief from time to time...
Corey and LWeastdad....too many feelings get hurt when discussing the old vs new boundaries of LWE. I spoke my mind two years ago and just let the butt hurt folks have the podium...after all the olde LWN is the new majority. It is amazing the job Coach Zvonar and his staff did in two years melding this group...here you go...of 6A majority players to the level they are now. I know...no difference between the two levels..yawn. Not worth the weekly banter and fun we had of the mid 2000’s to be honest. Still attend all the games possible and the tradition your sons started is in good hands. Now, once the Consolidated SH161 school opens with Taco Bell sponsorship who knows.Lol
Yeah that’s the same with me. I figure that some new parents might jump on here. East is a premier football powerhouse every year but you hardly hear anything about them. Heck I can’t even get a score on Edgy freeboard. LWE is one of the best programs and teams in the state every year. It amazes me in a state where we don’t get recognition for football compared to other states.
The people on this board that obviously love Illinois high school football don’t even talk about their defending 8A state champion and #1 ranked team.
East finished nationally racked in the USA Today #14 last year yet you hear crickets.
LWeastDad you may have a point about people on this board being only interested in the private schools. You have to ask yourself do they really love HS football or do they just love their high school? Interesting.

What's with all the sandbags?I read the boards and this is my first post in a few years. East is good...even very good this year. I have been to all 3 games. The QB has as good an armas there is in the state. If he calms down, he might become great. O-Line is the best I have seen in 15 years. Linebackers are bit small. D-line good as always. Weakness? If there is one, the secondary... I could see a rematch between Loyola and East... But Brook might be the team to beat.

yesIs Henning out with the same injury he sat all of track season with?
Corey always has good stuff over the years but I just never understand these type of posts, “Why doesn’t program X get talked about?”. Just post about it.
I never cared about 3A/4A football south of 80 but wilmatucky posts good stuff, other good posters post good stuff, and now I’m even interested in coal city and Wilmington etc results.
I never heard of sterling before but they won the board last year with the state playoff post that had around 200 comments and 10k views
Playboy, tez, cru 90 keeps us in the loop on the Lou.
Just post something interesting and the good HS football fans on this board will take it from there.
Or take the easy way out and just complain about the private schools..
Id like it if more LWE fans and southwest suburban fans would post...I would just like to hear more from East fans.

He said that after Week 1 too. I am worried for the kid as a lot of colleges might be wondering what is going on. East can win without him, but this kid is special...possibly the most special talent in the history of the school.Coach Z in the newspaper said 1 to 2 weeks. So it unknown
Pirkle.He said that after Week 1 too. I am worried for the kid as a lot of colleges might be wondering what is going on. East can win without him, but this kid is special...possibly the most special talent in the history of the school.
I wish him God's speed.
Be reminded of high frequency of kick-offs into the end zone producing that dreaded "long field" for opposing offenses.Loaded offense and always a terrifying defense, plus depth galore. Best team in the state.
All I remember is Pirkle spending more time in the Raider backfield than Martin did.No Bones. Adam Gettis would be the answer to that question.
Nice that the kids can get in 4 games now without losing their redshirt.
