Sorry @EdgyTim but you and your partner’s prediction of a Minooka win was way off. I believe your partner said “the Palatine fans don’t even know where Minooka is but they’re going to find out real quick.”

To be honest I’m shocked that this was the score. Minooka looked tough to me!

Running clock.

This is a better, more balanced, better-coached Palatine team than I have seen since I have been following them (about 20 years). Some of the playoff losses in that period were much closer than the scores indicated, i.e. 1-3 plays were the difference. This team might be able to overcome 1-3 breakaway plays by the opposition.

How bad is the Southwest Prairie conference? I know Minooka was 6-3 but their two conference losses were tight contests.

They really were clicking on all cylinders.. and remember how Joniak used to say "Devin Hester you are ridiculous ".. well "Dom Ball you are RIDICULOUS!"

There are only a few new coaches on staff. Same nucleus

Yeah.. we found it .. it was a place for a running clock Palatine victory.

Actually, the Minooka people at the gate and the concessions were exceedingly nice..

Minooka is a wonderful place overall. I wasn't counting on a nook win but thought it would be closer. Oh well. My pressing question is...where did you grab food?

 

[eagles2k3]

Cookies. Walleye was outstanding!

Nice. I've always enjoyed Cookies. I know it can be a tossup. Glad you had a nice time here!
