The year they got the closest was 1999. MC started off horribly the first month that season. I was not at the game but was following on here. Marist went up in the 4th 15-14 but MC scored late to win 20-15. Game was at Eckersall.
I would take the Under on this total. MC a new OL and QB. Flyer probably runs a lot with RB, moves clock. MC defense looks great so he will earn his yards.
I saw
BR MI play at BR in 2015 and BR Chi running clocked them. I was at the game went before MC frosh played Marist. The year before they played them at the Big House and gave them a good game but MI won. MC played BR MI in 1983 and lost 14-7 at the Silver Dome.
Correct. I will say 1996-99. This is when we had the first CCL/ESCC merger and 6 classes that were seeded 1-32 and everything wasn't digital yet. The Star had a great section to used to have lower level scores.
East St Louis won the first meeting between the 2 schools in '87 (6A semi). MC has now won in '88 (6A final), '95 (5A semi), '17 (7A Q), '18 (7A Q) and '23 (opener) for the 5-1 series lead.
Of all-time it is easily the 1950 team. In the IHSA era, I am going to go with the 1996 team. Blew everyone out with the exception of JCA and LA. Even that team had to win at LA on a last second FG. In no way am I expecting MC to go undefeated with that gauntlet this year.
