All those kids should have gone to NV? That's unbelievable. Did they all leave because they had issue with the staff, or did they leave because their family had ties to Catholic education? Just a crazy amount of next level kids going elsewhere. 🤷♂️
Neuqua - 14 LWE - 17 Final
- Thread starter NapervilleBuck
- Start date
Why should they have gone to NV? I presume they all made a choice based on what they felt was best for them.
Thanks USD. I was going to comment on that incredibly asanine and ignorant comment about “should have been NV”. Like my comment in a thread going on about an incredibly unenforceable, unconstitutional IHSA proposal, the way some assume property, agency or license over somebody else’s child is disturbing.
Edit: Sorry about off topic. To stay with the spirit of the actual thread. Beast by 14 in a closer game than 28-14 sounds if that makes sense

I can’t speak for each individual family and their wants/desires for their kids. I’ve had 2 kids at Neuqua and one at St Francis. Our decision was based on what each child wanted out of HS and how we could accommodate that. I assume the same could be said for all of the kids who were in the Neuqua footprint that went elsewhere. Was it academics? A desire for a Catholic environment? Football? All of that is none of our business.
I do, however, know 4 of the kids listed and all 4 were at their Catholic school for one reason only. Football. They know what the NV program is about and how it’s operated. The program isn’t there to develop kids for collegiate success. That doesn’t mean NV doesn’t turn out collegiate players. They do for sure. Some choose to have their kids play at established football schools like Naz, JCA, Montini, and St Francis. They develop kids at a higher level than NV.

Is this honestly even going to be a game? East had had one bad game and still won in week 9. If I had to guess LWE-28 NV-7.
And honestly I hope it does. Should set up East vs Warren. What an elite 8 game that would
Be!

Corey, a little humility helps.
Who knew parents were trying so hard to get their kids OUT of Naperville public school districts LOL.
not really, people from Naperville are Catholic too
I think they are playing it at their Freshman field......
Just kidding. I was in the area on Wednesday and I didn't see anything that made me think that the stadium was closed.
I'm sure there are others who know for sure.
That's been fixed.
Edit: It might take a bit for it to update on the pin itself when looking at the map view, but if you click on it, it shouldn't show the closed message anymore.

Just got to the stadium. Field looks good. I’m actually surprised that LWE showed up fully taped, dressed, and walked onto the field. Business trip-esque. They look locked and loaded.
Plenty of parking. Field is in good condition. Game on. Been at least 7-8 years since these two teams met on the field. I am thinking 2014?
Offense 2,3,10,15,18,23 and Oline. Probably missing someone! Defense as a unit.
Wow…2007? I know it must have been round one? And it was just before Halloween. Help the memory Buck!
Wind is pretty wicked tonight. I’m at the top of the stands so it might be more up here but it’s gonna be a tough night to throw/kick.
Thanks Napervillebuck
Keep updates coming. I couldn’t make the game tonight. 👍
Neuqua gets the ball and gets two quick first downs. Beast toughens and forces a 3rd and 12. Mennecke to Larkin for 54yd TD. Sweet drive. 7-0 NV.
Absolutely terrible roughing the passer on 3rd and long against NV. Let em play refs. NV with good stop and penalty gives LWE first down.
At first, I thought that you were being sarcastic, but this really IS a very good stream. It's too bad that all of the streaming on the NFHS Network isn't like this! lol
Buck…no. The best news I have is the NV students yelling over rated. Last time that happened at Homewood Flossmoor LWE scored the next 38 points. Tied LWE 7-7 with Nequa after the chant…2 plays.
Fourth and inches and the best NV can do is try and draw them off sides and then they punt into the wind. Not gonna beat east playing scared
That end of the quarter shows everything you need to know about coaching in this game. Chess vs solitaire.
