Is it even possible to make the playoffs at 4-5? Thought you had to have 5 wins minimum but didn't realize there might be a stipulation.
I'm sorry Edgy but strikes are total ********!!! So many times have watched Sica teams mostly Richards/Eisenhower/Shepard & Tinley Park/Bremen/Hillcrest/Oak Forest miss out on great seasons because of strikes so so many times.I think even Bloom got hit a time or two, possibly Bloom Trail & Thornton,Thornwood,Thornridge.If the strikes goes on & it cost a school the playoffs I would not go out for football,band,volleyball & other sports that had to forfeit because of the strike.The next year the school would have nothing in the fall.Weekend before last during the long rain/lighting delay my family had over 2hours of down time. Several of the players parents are Chgo police officers. They been without a contract for two years, cannot go on strike by state law, and will not see arbitration till next spring. They need to add the teachers to that state law and give them binding arbitration. Then the strength of their case should prevail if they have facts on their side. Kid should not be pawns.
SR with the most playoff points of any team in Illinois. They will be battle tested if they get to 5 wins and get in.
And I’m with you, we love St. Rita football, one week at a time. They played one complete game. They’ve earned nothing but a curious look.
All I want is a win and stay healthy. Looking past at team will get you upset. It’s homecoming. I’d like to see everyone get some snaps. This is a young team. All of last weeks scoring was by underclassmen. Watching this team develop has been a treat. As Rock states it’s only one game that the team has played four good quarters. Last week’s defense thou reminds me of the 2006 team for four good quarters. The future is bright. I like your enthusiasm but one game at a time please.
But his point stands, as fans we can look ahead to whatever game we want. We are not playing in the game.
SR may get 5 wins but I don't know about the NND game thou. But does Marist get 5 wins? They have 3 wins now and have Nazareth, St. Pat's, and Loyola left .
I think SR goes into the NND with 5 wins. Game at home, I think SR has a legit shot to win.
If a 4-5 team were to make into the playoffs my bet would it would be Marist with all of their playoff points.
Rita opponents currently have 16 wins (two undefeated, Marian w/with 4), Marist 11 wins. Mustangs have 2pt playoff point lead right now. Both are in good shape in it comes down to it
Comparing to a state championship defense after beating a providence team playing some of the game without their really good starting qb is a stretch.
The film tells me Marist is pretty good. It’s at Marist, they need it far worse and they own Naz. Advantage Marist.
The 2006 team had two NFL players on the DL. This was one game not a 14 game schedule. Was not comparing this one game to that 14 game schedule. You are reading more into that post than there is. The above posts from Rock and myself pointed out that this team has had good games but has not put together four good quarters in the same game. They did against PC. They held PC with no 1st downs in the second half w/o their QB. They also held them also scoreless in the 1st half also and stopped them on a couple of short 4th downs with their QB. On defense, Michael Gaughan posted a gigantic day with 18 total tackles and 3 tackles for a loss. Tramon Lias (8 tackles) and Michael Milton (7 tackles, 1 TFL) provided key defensive efforts for the Mustangs.
Marist is always solid and anything can happen in one game. But shouldn't Naz with a really good team and a D1 qb be expected to win these kinds of games.
Being Chicago, I'm sure the schools that need half the enrollment to be there so they can play will have that number one way or another.
