Glenbard West WWS used to be a great one. Also Lyons Township vs Hinsdale Central
For all sports (and everything else under the sun for which the schools can compare themselves), ND and St. Pats.
That's everywhere now, with traveling sports, training, 7on7 etc.Not anymore these kids like each other too much.
Start listing em here.....ready go!
Guerin
From my era, Pats, Holy Cross, the battle of Belmont Ave.
I hope this is true!Legend has it that priests got in a fight over a MC vs. JCA game, so that's tough to top.
I feel like that ship has sailed. Would've been great 4-5 years ago. Seems like the fans don't even talk about it anymore.MCHS vs Naz the rivalry that never was but talked about and hoped for a decade...maybe this year
One that maybe isn't the biggest but was an interesting one to watch was Marian Central Catholic vs Montini, it would surprise me if any two schools have played each other more over 6 year time span. Lets start in '06 the canes beat Montini in both the regular season and first round of the playoffs I believe, '07 Montini beats Marian in the regular season and the Canes beat Montini in Lombard in the quarterfinals (never will forget that one seeing two bronco players coming after star QB Jon Budmayr after a PAT towards the end of the game) '08 just one meeting between the two schools as the Canes failed to make the playoffs after losing Budmayr for the season in the first game against North Chicago. '09 the canes came to Lombard and beat Montini on their homecoming and then Montini came back to beat the canes in the second round of the playoffs (start of the 4 peat). '10 Broncos come to Woodstock and Westerkamp sets single game receiving records in a beat down on the Canes, and the two would meet in the Quarterfinals at Elmhurst College which ended up being a great battle and a great game to be apart of but the Broncos moved on to their second State Championship. '11 two of top 4 5a teams met in Woodstock as Marian pulled off the upset (while Montini QB Rhode was out) on homecoming, and the two teams would meet again in the Quarterfinals in Lombard, where the Broncos flexed their muscles and rolled past the Canes. '12 The Canes beat the Broncos in fairly respectable fashion in Woodstock, showing that this Canes team may be the team to end the Montini dynasty and be the first MCC team to go back to state since '06 as they rose to being the top 5a school that season, yet again the Canes met the Broncos in the Quarterfinals again, this time in Woodstock, when the canes cruised out to a quick 2 touchdown lead, just to find themselves tied at 21 at half and then see the Broncos Wildcat offense take control and move on to the final ring in the 4 peat. I know Montini people had bigger rivalries with other schools but this game was always a big deal in Woodstock and in 6 years the two schools have played each other 11 times. I would be curious to see how many other schools have played that many times in that short of a time period.
Also another rivalry is pretty much the McHenry County public schools vs. MCC but there haven't been too many matchups in football over the past few years
