I honestly root for all the Catholic League schools, in particularly BR and SR. My 2 brothers, 4 nephews and numerous cousins went and played for BR and 2 of my 3 sisters were BR cheerleaders....so I have no escape from that school or my endless info of insider knowledge....Coach Mitchell was great to my family and very supportive when i told him I was going to MC...."I went to MC and loved it, you will too" he told me. So I'm linked to BR through blood....even though a couple BR fans on this site can get particularly testy at times ; )!
SR to me has always been the school I want MC to beat, but I don’t want anyone else to beat them, even BR. With the storied rivalry MC has with them you can't not respect them. And their whole side cheering “Hit em High, Hit em low, Go Rita Go! During the games is a great tradition
Outside of that, being from the South Side, I’ve known so many great families that support these two schools the same way I support MC. My kids have been, and are still best friends with so many SR/BR students over the years...the fact that they all went to different schools never mattered with them. They’re great schools and outside of the one, sometimes two, times a year they play each other, I truly wish them well.
I know Marist can also fall into this category but I will always consider them ESCC.....and while I know many great people that went there and have had positive experiences, the majority of them don’t follow them or have have that strong care of how they do after they graduate....think about it, how many Marist fans are in this site?
