LWE Vs Lockport
- Thread starter corey90
- Start date
42-0 LWE 8:37 until halftime. AJ with some moves. I am wondering where Steve Walker and crew are. Nick Setta sighting on Porters homecoming.
Those Steve Walker / Jake Christensen days are long gone at Lockport unfortunately
He did a really nice job during his brief period at LWN too.
He’s an excellent coach.
Lockport Dad. Do you have any thoughts or insight as to why Lockport has had such a steep dropoff since Kooi left ? We've never had any direct connection since our kids didn't attend there, but living in Homer Glen it is our district High School .
I honestly don't understand what's going on there as youth football is in place with the Lockport Jr Porters and the Homer Stallions that play other teams connected to SWSC schools. Toward the end of the late Bill Zimmer's tenure at LTHS, the program went into decline until Bret Kooi tok over in '94 and the program picked up steam and soon won state titles, but never seemed to sustain that level of championship caliber play. I've been in Bolingbrook since 1992 and know one thing...basketball seems to garner the most passionate interest at Lockport no matter what. This is a program that should be able to contend every season even in a very solid football conference and they have played a very difficult schedule this season as their 7 opponents have a combined record of 40-9....
That semifinal game that Lockport played against Hinsdale Central May have been the best game I’ve ever seen.
Part of this is LWE being damn good. Lockport just played us last week and weren't pushovers. This is why I am concerned for week 9.
Football has never been a priority with Lockport's administration the focus has always seemed to be on baseball and softball. When my sons played there the concessions at the football games were a fund raiser for the band not the football team. Kooi is a hall of fame coach that had a good staff that was able to be competitive with what they had, after he left it started a downward spiral to were they are now. I find it hard to believe that a school with over 3,700 students can't at least put a competitive team together.
The Oster family had a lot to do with the rise of the Porter wrestling program. They did great work participating, coaching, and fund raising.
Baseball hasn't been very good either, since Jim Hall retired.
I have a long post coming on this Lockport subject. Not gonna hold back.
I hope he hasn’t been writing it all this time! The Magna Carta of Edgy posts!
We are all waiting! I hope we’re not disappointed since you did a major announcement. Lol

Sorry for the delay guys. Been working a lot and seeing a friend in the hospital. Some things in life are far more important than others. But, when I get a chance, I'll get to it.
Oh yeah, nothing I say will be deleted and I won't be asked to leave. Just my opinion...and I bet Edgy may agree.

I pray your friend is okay. We say some stupid stuff on here. We all love HS football but your totally right some things in life are far more important. Glad to see you have you priorities right.
