Well here we are in week 4 already. Dang this goes by too fast! Big showdown in Palatine this week. With it being Homecoming and last years loss on the mind of the Pirate faithful it should be a great game. Thoughts on how it plays out?

Where are the P-Tine Guys? Thoughts on Palatine and the game? I think we have a good idea that MS is well... MS and Top 5 material but I haven't heard much about Palatine. I know the QB graduated - he was fantastic.
Palatine has the potential to be outstanding. They have a ton of talent with 5-6 d1 players. They've had some injuries but I think they should be 100% healthy for this week. The QB is a very solid HS Qb. You could never replace a Zach Oles but the QB did get some great experience starting 4 huge playoff games. Lots of returners on the DL and OL as well as some of the skills.
I think you will see the team and staff gelling more and more each week and will hit their stride as the year goes on. IMO this will be a one score game based on it being a rematch and homecoming for the Pirates.
Stress fracture. Been on the sidelines in a soft boot the first three games.What's wrong with Hogans?
Yikes. I think he should take another week off!Stress fracture. Been on the sidelines in a soft boot the first three games.
Saw Palatine week 1. We (Stevenson) escaped with a victory. Was almost identical- but role reversal from previous year. Palatine is a VERY good football team. Was impressed with everything about them. Lots of talent. Great O-Line.11 grinders on both sides of the ball. Using MS as the measuring stick of 8A excellence, am very curious to see how this game plays out.Palatine has the potential to be outstanding. They have a ton of talent with 5-6 d1 players.

are they like Arya Stark with a list?i can honestly say I wish it were like this every week! This level of competition certainly builds the kind of character it takes to win the big one. While I believe it will drop off some after this week, I know our boys have a few dates highlighted after this one.
I look forward to a well played, intense game!
Hopefully everyone from both sides leaves healthy.

Agreed. That's the championship recipe at MS.The thing I've enjoyed the most this season is seeing what some of these guys can do going both ways. For example, check out Johnny O'Shea's highlights against Evanston. He has the 8 catches for 116 yards and 2 TDs that you'd expect, but he also plays some lights out corner against Evanston's star WR, throws some crunching blocks, and even blocks a PAT. Sometimes the best thing is to just put your best athletes on the field and let them do what they do..

Umare they like Arya Stark with a list?
Game of Thrones my Okie friend.Um
Not familiar with the reference...
Like I've said before... I'm not the brightest
Being from Oklahoma I'm a simple football guy...
Ah... I tried to watch it once or thrice.Game of Thrones my Okie friend.
Which one is Arya???are they like Arya Stark with a list?
That description doesnt do her justice. She's a cold blooded assassin with an inability to let bygones be bygones. And people on her list get crossed off.Which one is Arya???
Is she the little sword fighting girl?
AhThat description doesnt do her justice. She's a cold blooded assassin with an inability to let bygones be bygones. And people on her list get crossed off.
I think we've pretty much crossed everyone off our list.Ah
Then yes... a list like Arya Stark for the Hawks
Thank you for the clarification Bones!
TreviansI think we've pretty much crossed everyone off our list.

Not even close:
De La Salle, Thornton, Belvidere, Downers Grove South, Lockport, Downers Grove North, Stevenson, Glenbard North. Still plenty of business to settle.
I'll give you the two Downers and Lockport. But the rest I'm not sure about. 6-1 against Stevie and a State Title over GBN is ok in my book.Not even close:

Is it safe to say you guys will be "Fired UP" for this game?I was gonna say "wow, hold grudges much?"..but then I have to admit I have this screen capture saved off Hudl from last November's semifinal game...
We don't feel we need to wipe everybody out, Tom. Just our enemies.I was gonna say "wow, hold grudges much?"..but then I have to admit I have this screen capture saved off Hudl from last November's semifinal game...
Ask around. There must be some MS fans that are familiar.I'll give you the two Downers and Lockport. But the rest I'm not sure about. 6-1 against Stevie and a State Title over GBN is ok in my book.
Was that the Antwan Randle El Thorton team?Ask around. There must be some MS fans that are familiar.
I knew a guy on the MS team that lost to DGS. Look of pure anger every time we talked about that clock operator...Not even close:
De La Salle, Thornton, Belvidere, Downers Grove South, Lockport, Downers Grove North, Stevenson, Glenbard North. Still plenty of business to settle.
Yes sir every game.MS are you on the sidelines tonight?
I'll see you there!I'll be on the sidelines tonight, outside the 20's on the Palatine side. If I see you MS, I'll say hello.
