The LA website is saying it's the Ramblers "varsity reserve" vs. Huntley this Sat in Wilmette.

That’s JV I believe. They are still trying to schedule a game for varsity.

For those with a discerning taste in prep gridiron, insist on fully-kruesened, barrel-aged Rambler Varsity Reserve Select.

Yes

Lemont at Bolingbrook is an intriguing match-up that would never have come to pass in a normal season. We must watch ourselves, however, in putting too much stock in the outcome.

Why?

 

[Blue Ruin]

I give these schools credit for taking on Loyola.

Phillips acquired instant credibility by beating Loyola with a goal-line stand in 2017. That was a better Phillips team and a lesser LA team, but I'm sure both coaches will use that game to motivate their players.

At the risk of repeating content from another thread, I have seen multiple games in person, some on streams and others from HUDL video library. To me, the results of this season could be considered outliers and not used too broadly for comparisons among programs, conferences and the like. Furthermore, it may take a couple, successive years of normalized seasons (and off-seasons) to regain equilibrium, In a reply to that thread, Edgy alluded to soon addressing this subject so I will be anxious to learn his take, too.

Everyone has been dealt the exact same hand if anything stronger programs should have an advantage in a more bare bones season since they have system in place and should excel.

One thing we don’t really know about because of the virus is the effect it has on football at schools that are, for lack of a better term, basketball schools where football is definitely secondary. The now-closing St. Joseph is an example of a basketball school that was not a factor in football.
From what I can follow this spring it appears that many of the traditional football powerhouses are as strong as ever. I will use Loyola, L-W East, Maine South, Barrington, Warren, etc. as examples.
What I wonder is what is the current state of football at the traditional also-rans aka basketball schools.
I mean, football is not the No. 1 thing to do at many schools and I wonder if numbers at those type schools are way down which would suggest that in next couple of years the spread between the football powers and the others will get even bigger than it has been. That would be unfortunate but I am thinking that could be a consequence of Covid. Two barometers in the future that will be easy to monitor will be roster size and the number of 40-point spreads. Hopefully the gap between haves and have nots won’t get bigger but truly time will tell.

Interesting point.
I would advise any school with an enrollment problem to drop all sports while adding lacrosse, field hockey and sailing. No school that I’m aware of with those sports has closed.

Add Prairie Ridge to the list of teams looking. Jacobs season is now over.

Guess I was wrong, Simeon is back after a 1 week absence and will play Kenwood.
Slightly confused on what happened with Simeon last week now
