LWE vs Alabama cancelled

It’s kind of like how the employees all know the boss but the boss doesn’t know all the employees.
It's funny but you are right. When I was attending ISU way back in the early 70's, once we got on I-55 (I'm from north burbs) there was just Joliet and the next town was Pontiac. So the burbs down there seem relatively new compared to up here.
Slow day, so I did some looking
Frankfort was founded in 1831 and incorporated in 1879
Some northern burbs
Town Founded Incorporated
Wilmette 1855 1872
Evanston 1854 1863
Lake Forest 1857 1861
Winnetka 1836 1869
Glenview 1895- 1899- the new money on the block
Glencoe 1869
Niles 1832 1899
Des Plaines 1833 1869
Libertyville 1835 1882
Joliet 1834 1852- Not north, but where I'm from
I always used to joke on the way home from ISU that Joliet was the edge of civilization.
Yea I expect Frankfort itself is older than most north burbs, since IL (other than Chicago), was settled from the south to north. But the south burbs and that general area have been growing in leaps and bounds recently, while us here in Lake county have to move to WI to avoid the congestion, which I hope to do soon.
If you prefer to alter social injustice there is a petition to be signed.?
My senior is done, but I’ll be in the stands cheering next season! Someone on one of these posts ridiculed our fans as zealots, but who doesn’t support their family?? GO EAST! GO GRIFFINS!!GO BLUE!!!
Having a rabid fan base is the envy of those who don’t.
Aren't we all fans and zealots? "Fan" is just short for "Fanatic," and "Zealot" is one who shows "zeal," great energy or enthusiasm. Wear "Zealot" proudly!
Every year I read that a dozen different programs should be yearly semi-finalists in 8A. Simple math will show that the assertion is absurd. LWE doesnt get to pad their case with championships won against the likes of Marion. It's a little bit different.
King of the strawman
South suburbs seem to indicate east of I-57 (see most of Southland conference membership) and not within city limits (like the actual South Side). Southwest suburbs on the other hand are west of I-57, like most of old, pre-SICA Southwest Conference (OL, RV, BR, RE, CS, HF, EP, LW) and next year's Southwest Suburban Conference (now minus the 3 Thorns east of 57).
I’m a little lost on this comment bones. Care to elaborate? The simple math and the padding?
Every year posters here say such and such program should be yearly semi-finalists due to some sort of percieved strength ie enrollment, funding, talent, etc. Obviously 12 different schools cannot be in the final four every year. It does not diminish the East program or any of the others that don't live up to that impossible expectation. Usually the comments are made by some supporter of a school that considers themselves on the level of those dozen schools, but gets to play 4 echelons below and win a ton of championships against outmatched teams.
Schools that I've seen that said about: LWE, MS, NV, Stevie, HF, HC, Palatine, GBW, NC, OPRF, NT, Evanston, Brook, Lyons, Warren, Sandburg and there's probably more.
Didn't say they should, but I've seen people say it. NT has a resources advantage. How many times have we heard people say a school has a facility advantage? Plenty. Evanston, we always hear about all the talent in the building, we were told that when they got the coaching.........well we know how that turned out. Sandburg if they weren't dispensing all their talent to the Southside privates.... And even without those 3 I've named 13.
No one would say that about the Brook.
As far as East goes. Good season. Expectations are high as they should be. If Loyola can make back to back title game appearances it should not be impossible for East which does have a ton of talent, resources and coaching ability.
You can denigrate Joliet Catholic all you want Bones but they are playing a 14th game unlike the Brook which bowed out meekly to WV. And I’ll take my school’s 13 titles to Bb one any day. Go spew your venom elsewhere. And congrats on those 18000 plus posts on this web site. What a life you must lead keyboard hero.
Touched a nerve I see. In all likelihood you would come in 5th place in the SWSC every year since 06 and and 10 years prior to in the Sica Blue.
Bones...been waiting 18 years for a JCA / LWE game for the preseason. I have asked that question at least 8-10 years ago. As great as JCA obviously is again this year maybe it will happen? Providence at least had the nads to do the local game numerous years against LWE. JCA?? We will have to hear how bad they are at the mid-point this year and managed to get to the Championship yet again. Oh well maybe next year for this game.
Someone said Palatine should be in the semi's every year? I haven't seen that posted, and if it was, it was by one person.
Yep. Hook, line and sinker.
I wanted to be offended the original poster didn't mention the Wheaton or Naperville schools (District nos. 200, 203 and 204) but then I remembered it's not the 1990s anymore. Or, in Wheaton South's case, 2014 (they had an amazing 20 year run).
Oh well. Go DVC! Or DKC! Both? Upstate 8?
Providence had the nads agreed but I don’t think they won any games against East. I think JCA wants to avoid the same fate. I don’t see this happening. I would love it but I don’t think JCA wants any part of East.
Will never happen. I like JCA, just cant stand when fans use winning in 5A as evidence theyre better than programs that dont win as much in higher classes.
No, I dont think 5A ships dont matter. They don't matter in the context of LWE. Beating Metamora, Marion, Highland, and Hillcrest for a capable 8A team is not impressive. From a 4A perspective it probably is.
When I saw Benet v Simeon in the Pontiac Holiday Tournament it was like I was standing on Stony Island...
