Player of the Year candidates?
- Thread starter EdgyTim
- Start date
Lol I relish the chance to hear the crap they will come up with. Hoping Elliot's mom chimes in also
There are some legit hot unvalidated rumors that Illinois will or has offered a two sport opportunity.
The kid is special, LWE isn’t the team they are without him.
You can make that argument about every star quarterback unfortunately, especially outside of the Catholic League. Libertyville would be good but not close to what they have if he wasn't playing quarterback there.
If Lville made the title game seems likely he would be one of the favorites. Might have the singles season passing touchdown record (60 TDs) even if they just get to the semis. Some question marks on the defense the last two weeks, no doubt the offense will put up points against almost everyone. Potential rematch with Lake Forest in round 2 very intriguing!
Have some class man...
Dierre Hill had three carries, two touchdowns and 123 yards in the first round.
All.... If you could bring him young Mr. Hill back in a time machine with the style of football when Hickey was playing. Who is first pick on your Crusader team between the two? Same question if Hickey in his high school prime was teleported into year 2024. Ratsy P.S. And yes I have been watchung sci fi movies as of late.
This has been dicussed at Demo's quite a bit and while not consensus, most - and I am in this camp - choose Hickey, who was more muscled and ran meaner. Hickey ran a 4.4 and 10.7 100M - not sure of Dierre's numbers, but he was not carrying the same physique. Dierre runs more like Darond Stovall, the smoothest athlete I ever played with or saw as a contemporary.
Comparing our level of competition to this team is no match and football back then was much more violent. Either generation of play, I go with #22 over #10.

Aaron Stewart (RB) Warren Township. 8A Leading rusher has a junior. Plus all state wrestler.
Doesn’t matter he’s an all state wrestler for this conversation.
Cmon Micah, at least show some North Suburban love to the kid that torched you from Libertyville.
Schambow played in baseball showcase game October 26/27 in Jupiter FL. Much MLB attention. Verbal commit to Oklahoma State baseball. Video from August 18 All Star game in San Diego attached. Schambow catching, see back-pick. Watch Schambow framing pitches (strikes). Baseball decision(s) to be made next spring.

Very true but I'm not sure that's what he was trying to say. The only thing that matters is 50 TD passes 3 INTs and over 3,000 yards throwing the ball. Edgy should give it to him now because nobody's close
Maybe some clarification. Certainly Schambow should be a canidate for high school football POY. Both his numbers, and subjective observation of his game play indicates he is among the elite players in IHSA football. Exciting player.
However, Schambow's IHSA baseball play (and his numbers) indicate he may also be considered for IHSA baseball POY. Exciting behind the plate, solid bat, without question an elite arm.

Need some clarification - is the pronunciation along the lines of Ro Sham Bo, aka Rock Paper Scissor?
With those numbers, the correct pronunciation should be SHAM WOW.
I’ll see myself out. Enjoy the veal…

Longtime students of the game will have noticed that the Sun-Times Player of the Year award often goes to a player who leads his team to the finals. But how often in fact has the POY played on a championship team? The award goes back to 1950, but I went back only as far as 1990. Of the 33 POYs since then, 21 played on teams that made it to the finals. So while not strictly necessary, winning a team trophy does confer a distinct advantage.

I don’t remember a year where there are so many deserving candidates for POY. So to add to the mix I’ll nominate Nate Marshall. I’ve been able to see some Fenwick games and see him in person the last three years. He’s a guy you have to game plan for on defense and he is a legitimate weapon on offense.
I don't think you can go wrong with Bell, Hill or Schambow.
Definitely talented players but that just means you need to get out and see more games
Then pick alphabetical order!
And everyone knew he was getting the ball. Althoff is 5-5 without Hill. IMHO @crusader_of_90 no disrespect but....
