What did we learn week 5!?!?!

[LakeCtyNewt]

More than half way through the regular season and this week was an educational one on many fronts.

1 - That despite the loss, Carmel Catholic is back and will be a major issue in 5A
2 - That the NSC title looks to be returning to Gurnee.
3 - That the streak is over, Rock Falls got the W.
4 - That Maine South will never lose a CSL game.
5 - That LW West may never take off those orange jerseys.
6 - That when Palatine and Barrington play, take the over.
7 - That this years York may be better than last years York.
8 - That OFallon was leading ESL, then they weren’t.
9 - That another typical finish for CG/PR. Hope they both end up in 5A north - what a bracket that would be.
10 - That Dwight and Momence are too great small school stories so far - combined 9-1.

That be it - was gonna do 11 this week but saw how 10 worked for Notre Dame so…….

Thanks Newt, look forward to reading your musings each Sunday. Always entertaining.

I learned that I may have a problem at home! First thing my daughter asked me when I got home Friday night is “How did Mt. Carmel do tonight!” Brutal!!

Scott, seek some help. That’s a great problem to have though. May make the WDWL future posts

Best football city in Illinois right now is

It's time to make another trip to the coaches' office on Western Ave. Rita needs a helmet!

And bring that precious darling with you, so she can now ask you "How did Chicago Cascia do tonight?"

Now, let's do this!

Before the season, I thought to myself that York is going to win 8A. I am sticking to it.

Did Carmel shrink in size? They used to be 7A.

 

[colin2229]

West Aurora is 5-0 and will have their biggest game in many many years Friday night vs Oswego. Good luck Blackhawks!

Chicago.....unless the Bears bring us from a 10 to a 2

 

[MalleusMaleficarum]

That from time to time even college coaches have trouble with the number 11.

Honestly would have just given The OSU two shots to push it in from the 1 with a free play. Someone needs to tell Lou not to give college teams bulletin board material!

I thought for sure they’d end up 4-5

11. That Rochester dominated St. Rita in 2019.

I heard it had an enrollment drop. It has about 1,000 students, half of them co-eds.

You have raised a most discriminating daughter. If she marries a Carmel guy, I'll send them a bottle of champagne.

That Rochester can play with 6, 7, & 8A teams. They beat Rita in 2019. 😂 🤣

Corey, my niece is a junior at LWE and she often wears MC shirts at school. She likes to get a rise out of people.

Lol
Awesome! That’s great. Funny stuff.

... that Naperville Central is the team to beat in the DVC. They were clearly the better team on Friday vs. Neuqua. And the offense is starting to click. Noticeable improvement since week one.

 

[eireog]

The Bears have a chance in 8A but are #2 in 7A and 6A.

 

[doctor_d]

Rochester and IC appear to be on a collision course in 4A

And 4A

I’m pretty sure you and I had an argument about this before the season started…hmmm

 

[DJrodey24]

...that Batavia (4-1) and Geneva (5-0) this week could be a real good game for the first time in 17 years.
