Great post Worm, appreciate your sharing your perspective as always. Next season will be a challenge for sure - hopefully the young Cats are up to the task. Miss seeing the Raiders on the football field; lot of good battles in the early - mid aughts.

This was a tight game down to the end. Both teams struggled offensively. The Cats missed a few bunnies that I’m sure they wish they could have back (the Eagles missed one egregious layup as well). Huffman controlled the game, the Cats had no answer for him. Chase Toppin had a nice game for...

Jermale Hines was definitely the best of the Glenville QBs (unless you count Ginn Jr his senior year). Incredible athlete. You could make a case for Jamario O’Neal, Latwan Anderson, and Mike Edwards from Glenville as well. Also I think Jayrone Elliott should be on the list over Robert Rose -...

Ignatius is 5-4 against SVSM since they started playing the Irish regularly in the ‘11-12 season. 3-2 in the last 5 meetings (3 Ignatius wins in a row, including a blowout at SVSM in 15-16, followed by 2 big Irish wins in a row). There is a big talent gap between the two teams right now.

Outside shooting was much improved this game. Effertz and Hanna looked good. Yontek has been a welcome addition to the lineup bringing a little more size and energy inside. This team is still turning the ball over way too much and will struggle against longer / more athletic teams. I did like...

National Award from MaxPreps that ranked the best program of the decade nationally in each sport. They unveiled every sport but football to start.

He w He was the QB coach at Ignatius for a few seasons from 2010-2015 roughly. His son Cal was a WR in the same class as current BC QB Dennis Grosel and Notre Dame OT Liam Eichenberg. Elvis took over the AD role at VASJ this year.

The team is really struggling against athletic teams that pressure the ball in the backcourt. Playing Blake and Toppin together is the best solution, but they can only play so many minutes. And they are giving up a lot of size on defense to taller guards. Turnovers and rebounding are killing...

The PD article reads like he intends to keep most / all of the staff together.

Didn’t Ignatius also win the title in 2014?

I will be surprised if Ignatius keeps it close at SVSM today. Not enough ball handlers or athleticism to hang with the Irish this year.

Believe this is the 12th win in a row over the Eagles now.

Go to 4:03 of the broadcast linked here. Would you call this an exemplary demeanor? Exemplary of what?

The Cats have mostly played with great defensive intensity under new Head Coach Cam Joyce. The offense remains a work in progress. Does anyone know what specifically incensed McKinley’s coach before he got ejected? It seemed like a fairly benign play and it was a fair amount after the whistle...

New Trier won the shootout, 2-1. Game officially counts as a tie.
