MC is consensus 4th in Blue next year behind LA BR PC and has Montini in a crossover. Hopefully they don't have Laurence. Need a week 1 win to make playoffs.

JCA is in the same boat next year. That is why MC/JC could have been a nice matchup. Hopefully, the Hilltoppers will pick up Schurz or Collins week one. Week 2 vs Wheaton North plus the ESCC schedule is gonna have them scrambling for wins in 2016

Is JC playing WN in 2016? I thought that was a two-year deal that ended this year.

Will the LGP neighbors insist on a 1:00p kickoff? Would have been a good Soldier Field or Toyota Park game.

What do the neighbors have to do with it now? Lights are up. Toyota is a great idea! Someone make this happen. I know Curie won't back down from Naz, it'd be a good game.

How about Naz / Provi in Week 1?

No renewal for your Hilltoppers?

Nope. I believe Provi still has week 1 open. This is unconfirmed, but I heard through the grapevine that Provi may have the Brook in week 2. Again, it's unconfirmed.

I like Provi in that game... I think they're gonna be good next year. Who is non con for JCA next year?

I believe week 1 is open. Week 2 is Wheaton North again.
Gotcha any word on ESCC schedule? I know it changes and heard from my Naz guys they know who they have. I know they were moaning about going to JCA again.

On the board, the Naz guys contend that the last two teams drop off each ESCC team's schedule, and they gain the two that were not on the schedule this year. I've heard rumors that the conference was divided between North/South (5 teams each). The North teams will play the same four each year, and the same for the South. The North would then play 3 of the 5 South teams, and the same for the South playiing 3 of the 5 North. When the ESCC gained MCC, things changed, so I'm not sure what scenario is correct.

I'm fairly certain you're correct. The parents I've talked to have the schedule. I'll try and get my hands on it right now.

Not so much of a glare and noise issue, but the fact its a CPS team.

Thanks TPF. Looks like the North/South setup in the ESCC is the approach. Marian Catholic gets the short end of that. They have Naz, Marist, Benet and JC on their schedule every year.

MC will be working in some new guys next year and wants an easier opponent.

Rumor is Rice/Marist at Soldier Field and then Rice Montini in week two. Rice better hope the green crossover is not St Laurence.

If they were looking for an easier opponent, it is a shame the JC/MC game didn't work out. Sounds like both teams will be in re-building mode. It would have been a good year to get that rivalry going again.

Marist-Rice is on 100%-just a question if at SF or not. Rice gets Montini in a crossover. Not sure if Rice plays Crete again week 2. Rita plays Laurence in a cross. MC also gets Montini in a cross.

I think Rice-Montini is a non-con, not a crossover.

If both teams are rebuilding and I am not certain MC is, they have a really good JR and Soph class, they just need to get them some experience. I would think both teams are rebuilding they would want to assure themselves of 5 wins and the CCL Blue and ESCC are not easy roads fro rebuilding teams.
I think Rice-Montini is a non-con, not a crossover.

I agree I think MC/Montini is CCL crossover and Rice/Montini is a non-conference game set for week 2. Rice/Marist looking like SF due to the stadium limitations which is unfortunate. It would be better played at SXU or Toyota. Toyota is a great facility, SF is not worth it.

I will give Rice some credit they put some tough non-conference games out there.

MC already has 3 definite top 10 teams on schedule in LA BR Montini. PC will be back also. Im good if MC schedules Legal Prep week 1.

Rice has that same schedule and then picked up Marist. Taking on Montini and Marist by choice I am not certain is a good idea.

I am not sure Rice returns enough to be considered top ten off the bat but the CCL Blue itself gives you four potentially really good teams so putting other top ten teams on the schedule can make for a really long season.

what the hell does that mean . the fact that it is a CPS team?
Concerns about "a certain element", but i suppose if Naz has already hosted Marian Catholic, Curie's traveling party wont be that much different.
