Not exactly an out-of-the-box suggestion, but LWE @ Maine South might have to be a consideration. That is if you can avoid the remaining Tri-State construction on a summer Friday afternoon rush hour.
Fenwick @ DePaul Prep.
I know you loved the scenery while driving to the Northside last season!
Welcome aboard......this one is always a great matchup but I really don't do two years in a row for pretty much any game. I covered last year's game at LWE
I'll be in Champaign for the season opener .......bummed about thatI'm 10 minutes out either way
St. Rita hosting Marist should be a fun one week 1. It is always fun seeing kids who grew up playing together and vs one another in grade school later play at the HS Varsity level as opponents. I do not believe these schools have faced off in the regular season in a few years either so it should bring a nice week 1 atmosphere.
Absolutely ridiculous that this is a Week 1 game.....this year and next FYI
DGN's going to be good--that we know. Don't know enough about MoPa, but if they're supposed to be good this year, then this would be a possible great game. Is the game at Gately?
After checking out great information on the "Edgy Nation" side, I think your Week 1 game to attend should be GW at Batavia.
Going to be a great game.
Going to be a great game.
Morgan Park is supposed to be really good. Multiple D1 players. Opening up Week 1 with DGN and then Week 2 with Nazareth. The game is at Gately. Scheduled for 1pm kick off.
Thunder, have you graduated now and in the working world?
Glenbard West @ Batavia, will be a great game and batavia’s game day atmosphere is one of the best if not the best in illinois.
I want to see you get to Morris in 10 minutes on route 6 on a Friday from Channahon.I'm 10 minutes out either way
In the area it's the most intriguing game. A no win situation for Morris but definitely will be interesting.
At the risk of coming across as too "sappy," this post above is a reminder of the staffs and players who toil in hot Augusts and beyond without great successes being too realistic. These stories carry some interest on the other end of the spectrum from NIL-driven transfers, double-digit D1 prospects on the roster, high national/state rankings and the like. What a challenge on the school end to get the initial turnout and keep the numbers season-long. The same goes for the homes that hope football can be a supervised and safe positive use of their youngster's time for a few months. Could you imagine ... ?
