Fox Valley is pretty tough. history is going to repeat its self for MC they haven’t had a championship since 2013, And even back in those days the Championship were mostly 5A so don’t hype MC up as if they been running 7A or 8A!
Phillips @ MC
- Thread starter Blue Ruin
- Start date
2012 8A, 2013 7A....don’t spew nonsense, especially on this site. Do your homework before you talk crap about a team, especially one like MC that has a huge loyal following here that will call you out on any BS you try to pass as fact
I’m Not spewing and Sir! Re-read what I said “Most of the Championship were 5A” homework don’t need to be done ask Google. I’m not talking nonsense fact is MC was so closes two years in a row and didn’t get the job done. Phillips has a loyal following we a lot of famous
If
I thought the quarterback (Thrower) that started the season was talented. Not sure why he’s not playing, but he certainly has an arm, and appeared to make good decisions. I know Marty was on an island last week with Ben being brought up for run support, so I
You started to make sense talking football, now you sound like there’s a personal issue with MC... back on point! I’m looking forward to the chess match between the coordinators. Phillips likes to get Phleger in man coverage and throw him jump balls. Honestly I thought the kid Thrower who started the season at quarterback had a great arm and appeared to make good decisions. However, Phleger appears to be a viable offensive threat; I expect MC to counter with Ben and Marty in combo coverage. They can play cover two man all day... last week they left Marty on an island, due to bringing Ben up for run support and some key blitzes. I expect our defense to have a huge day with turnovers...
I don’t need to ask Google, because I know my schools history. Let me give you a history lesson. The IHSA used to be only 6 classes, not 8, so when you use your Google and see us winning in 6A and 5A that’s equivalent to winning 8A and 7A...you want to talk facts and size up the game, this is the place, you want to talk crap, save it or tread lightly
Nothing personal I’m a grown man I support the program and fan of the sport. At the end of the day they kids. We can talk til we blue in the face but we not putting pads on. I said this before I wanna see a good game. I’m not taking a thing away from MC we know what they do and what they do well.
I beg to differ about 5A!
Of course MC has won at the 5A level a lot.
Of course there were only 6 classes then.....
It’s the sport of kings...better than diamond rings.
Huh? Do you watch IL high school football?
This thread makes me feel like I'm reading the Antonio Brown emails again.
Kevin, buddy, you know me too well ...
Mt Carmel has won 12 state championships. Of these, two were at the highest level at that time; nine were one level down; and one was two levels down. We've lost five state championship games: two at the highest level at that time, and three at one level down. We lost in the semis in 1987 to East St Louis in the highest level.
In the seven years from 2006 to 2012, we competed in 8A playoffs.
Yea but it’s fun to read. I’ve got popcorn and sno caps.
Hey, Guy
it was only 6 classes back then GUY! What schools are in Fox valley?
Seriously? There IS football outside of Chicago..
The last 3 6A state Champions (Cary 18, Prairie Ridge 17 &16) were from the Fox valley ....5 of the last 10 6A Champions (Cary 09, PR 11) . Add on another 2 runner ups (Cary 12& 14).
6A has had either PR or Cary in the finals 70% of the last 10 years championship.
I wont knock the success, I know about both team Cary Grove a little bit more then the others.
he would've left.....um no! he would have an 1 year head start on Brown, as a Soph Irving was dynamic! If coaching staff didn't run split back offense with those two then remove them all. Receivers would have a field day
MC too big up front - will wear down Phillips by 4th Q
that'll be a factor. i think the biggest factor will be discipline. mc is a more disciplined team than phillips. way more.
Pretty decent showing by the Wildcats. 2 offensive scores allowed vs MC at home is very respectable
Defensive battle today! I didn’t see the stats, but I’d like to say MC held Clark under 50 yards. However, don’t quote me...
Surprisingly, Lynch called a conservative game offensively. Phillips stacked 8 in the box and blitzed almost every play. Obviously, the game plan was to pound the ball; Odeluga rushed for over 100 yards. On the contrary, I was impressed with two way player Phleger; he covered Parker most of the game in ‘no mans land’...
Nice article in the Sun-Times about the game.

Phillips’ football ascension over the past few years has directly impacted Mount Carmel. The teams had never played an actual game before Saturday, but they are regularly battling for players. Several have left Mount Carmel for Phillips since the Wildcats started winning state titles.
“People call it the Super Bowl of the South Side and all that,” Caravan junior Kenenna Odeluga said. “It was fun, we saw some guys that used to go to Mount Carmel. So it is fun beating down on them.”
Mount Carmel, the traditional powerhouse, beat the upstart Wildcats 24-8 in the Class 7A state quarterfinals.
The win secured a perfect debut season for the Caravan at their new on-campus stadium and further proves that the controversial ousting of legendary coach Frank Lenti for Jordan Lynch two years ago was the right decision to move Mount Carmel football forward.
