Irving is by far the best player I have seen play this year hope hes 100%.
St. Rita 35 @ Hillcrest 8 Final
- Thread starter RockSoup
- Start date
Should be a great game, long time Richards fan (two sons played their for Coach Kor) Richards played both teams this year Irving and Brown are special backs. Both scored 3 Tds against Richards but Rita's defense
Could not stop Richards RB - Leshon Williams, He is almost back to full strength for East St. Louis. Will probably be at this game as East St Louis & Richards is not probable for me.
Good luck to both teams
Will be stopping at Hog Wild for sure.

I think going both ways will do in the Hawks. Close for the first 2 and half quarters than Rita will pull away.
The Rita defense is playing out of their minds right now and Kaleb Brown is bordering on unstoppable.

I would hit up Oliver's in Oak Forest . 159th st just west of Central. About 10 minutes from Hillcrest. Decent pizza.
I'll second that. Seen him twice and still can't describe how good he is.
Think how scary good SR would be the next two years if Irving was able to stay at there.
Probably the Game of The Week across the state --- yes, every team still playing rightfully believes their game is, but this one rises above the rest.
Two high-power offensive squads that can each sustain long drives or pop-off a quick strike score.
Whichever team better contains the explosiveness of the opposition will win.
Special teams play --- good long-snaps, Fair Catches or clean fielding of Punts, Extra Points, discipline of Staying in Lanes on kickoffs, etc... loom big in this one.
Only because of strength of schedule, do I give St. Rita the edge.

Julius Erving has had bad knees for years.
Thursday of Quarterfinal week has arrived. And no doubt we’re all watching the RBs, what a great matchup between out of this world talents.
As a St. Rita fan, I’m excited to see how this defense tries to stop M’KI. They’ve lost to Pemberton of LA, Williams of HLR and had major breakdowns vs a mobile QB in Bell of Montini. Since then, lights out due to maintaining their responsibilities and the best open field tackling I’ve seen from the Red and Blue in years but will that continue this week?
Will the SR Oline win the leverage battle and drive off the ball creating the needed seams for KB?
Will both teams be able to complete enough passes to keep defenses honest?
Will each team be able to keep the emotions in between whistles? We saw how last years Hillcrest JCA game ended. I don’t see the refs putting up with any after whistle junk.
Me? I’m just glad to be a fan up in the stands watching 2 great teams with the state’s 2 top RBs lay it all on the line Saturday at 3pm.

Playing both ways always wears you down...playing both ways in 35 degree weather wears you down faster...and if Irving isn’t 100%....I’ll take Rita in this one and I’ll take them by 2 scores.
I will also most likely be attending this game. If Irving is 100%, it is going to be a great game to see live. Just excited that some great football is on this weekend, but this game is the most exciting. Happy I will be able to witness this game in person.
Rita is going to get a can opener and crack a giant can of beat down on HC
Bowie - try Bill's in Mundelein ... excellent. I believe there are other Bill's locations, but I don't know if the quality is the same.
If that were to happen, expect the game to get really ugly. (See last year's JCA vs Hillcrest game.)
This game will be great. Irving is a stud who was at Rita for some time when he was a freshmen. Brown is Stud this should be great. I'm thinking high score. St.Rita missing Henry Wilson is a Huge loss but St.Rita Mikey G on Defense along with Harris and Kyle James this should be a great one because Hillcrest is Hungry as well!!
If Saint Rita plays defense the way they did against Sterling, I could see them having another shutout. I don’t see any team holding their offense to under 28 points, So my prediction is 32-7 Saint Rita
Bill's has a double decker called "The Northsider". It's so good it should be called the "Southsider".
It's a shame, would have liked to see him at 100%.
But it does seem to be lining up for Rita. Semi game at home, no ESL in the south.
Rita has had some playoff x's and o's issues before so hopefully they keep it together.
To emphasize lining up statement. ESL 44-0 over Richards 3 minutes left 2nd quarter. They would have been a tough out.
Cascia--no TO's in this second half. Keep playing hard and hopefully, she can put together a long, productive Q3 drive here to get some points.
I will not stop worrying until Rita has a lead with no time on that damn clock! Now, let's do this, Cascia!
Let's rest him in Q4. If HC makes a comeback, then put KB back in. No injuries here.
