Private Schools 7 - Public Schools 1. That’s a wrap!

This isn’t a game thread though. But it’s 14-7 Loyola - they just scored.
Honestly I’m exhausted after 6A, which is what I want to see and know how 7 and 8 will pan out. I’ll catch the comments in the am LOL.
The point, I suppose, is the fact that those numbers represent an average of 4.5 titles per year, out of 8 opportunities each year. That is 56% of the available championships. At the same time, private schools represent only about 12-1/2% of the high schools that play football in Illinois. So, they win championships at a rate about four times greater than what might be expected based on the number of high schools that are private.
Is that acceptable? It depends on who you ask. The two types of high schools operate under different circumstances when it comes to enrolling student athletes. Also, most public high schools require their coaches to be teachers at the school. Presumably this is done to emphasize the teaching aspect of high school sports, and to not incur unnecessary costs that must be borne by taxpayers (many of whom do not care about high school football). Consequently, many supporters of public high schools feel more aggressive measures are needed to level the results somewhat, with some of the supporters even thinking the two sets of schools should have separate playoffs.
The private school supporters that participate on this message board clearly do not feel the results cited above are extraordinary. They believe the private schools, and particularly the Catholic high schools, simply work harder than their public counterparts and therefore deserve the superior results. Many of the CCL/ESCC supporters, although not all of them, believe the currently existing rules such as the success factor and possibly even the multiplier should be removed. They would like all high schools to operate without restrictions. At least that is my interpretation of what I've read on this board the last several years.
Cite all the stats you want, but everybody knows it's all about having better coaching and a tougher conference schedule 😉
That's one perspective and he's not wrong. Every year we hear how good PR and CG are because they have been running the same system since they were kids.
Idk know what his motives were. But the statement itself has merit.
Absolutely has merit. My boys play in Prospect's feeder program....and it is exactly that, a feeder program. I'm not complaining, my boys think it's cool Prospect football players are out there helping coach. But we shouldn't deny the fact that they are feeder programs.
Actually think it's a funny trolling comment by Lynch after the Batavia game, given all the whining Batavia has done.

I have to think York gets the nod for best public school performance against a Private School in this years finals.
LA/York… two good and well coached teams!

He didn't say they were at a big disadvantage ...he said that schools with feeder programs are hard to beat.
Interesting note, St. Francis beat 3 state champs this year in regular season. I know it doesn’t mean anything since they lost in semi finals again but pretty crazy.
There are currently two head coaches in the MSL East that don't teach at their schools.
Why doesn't matter.
Honey, I banged that chick because she needed loving.

Either way, dude is effed.
It’s boiling over in Tennessee. The TSSAA is forcing small private schools to play large ones who have trouble filling their schedule. 2 small privates are saying it’s not their problem & they’re not playing as they make their own schedules & the TSSAA is in for a lawsuit.
