Chicago Catholic League, Week XII

Remember: win or lose, shake hands after the game. Also, pick all the games and the scores/spread.

8A:
(8) Flossmoor (Homewood-F.) (10-1) at (1) Wilmette (Loyola Academy) (11-0)
predictor, neutral field, LA 34 HF 26
Game of the Century. The lower the score, the more I like LA's chances. Any of that Marist-Barrington stuff and I'm heading straight to the defibrillator. Ramblers 13 Vikings 9.

(5) Chicago (Brother Rice) (10-1) at (13) Palatine (H.S.) (9-2)
predictor, neutral field, BR 31 Palatine 24
The Pirates always have a couple of game-breakers on the roster. Should be a very tight game. Crusaders 21 Pirates 20

6A:
(1) Lombard (Montini) (11-0) at (5) DeKalb (9-2)
predictor, neutral field, MCHS 35 DeKalb 20
Broncs have allowed 36 points in last 9 games. The Barbs have allowed 226. Thus, Broncs 25 Barbs 4.

5A:
(8) Tinley Park (H.S.) (9-2) at (5) Burbank (St. Laurence) (9-2)
predictor, neutral field SL 42 TP 28
Both teams beat SI by 21. If SL contains Schultz, they're in good shape. Vikes 28 Titans 21

3A:
(8) Byron (9-2) at (5) Kankakee (McNamara) (10-1)
predictor, neutral field BMac 38 Byron 28
The Tigers? Really? You've got two huge nuclear reactors in your town and you go with an overgrown kitten. Not even a real tiger can stop Jonathan Ward. A reactor, maybe, but not a tiger. Irish 35 Tigger 21.

Prep Bowl:
SI (6-5) at SR (4-6)
predictor, neutral field SR 26 SI 24
Saint Ingatius, as they like to call themselves, is looking pretty good. Winner gets a shot at the Caravan. Mustangs 21 Wolves 20.

Hey, gooms, remember me? Two weeks ago, you had LA ranked #2 and HF at #10 in the final DSR. What has changed since then to cause you to pick HF by 15? All LA has done is shut out their first and second round opponents. Weren't you the one who claimed that LA beats everyone in Wilmette?

Rice may be the only one to struggle this weekend. If they cut down on mistakes, establish the run and take all the points given to them they will be fine. If they allow the big plays again, it will interesting.

Other CCL teams should win by at least two scores. I just think it is really hard to win at Loyola.

Ignatius and Rita could be a really good game and Ignatius Carmel next week would be cool.

When the LA HC speaks his players listen .... then do. HF will see a finely tuned machine up close and personal. Post game the Edens is one long lonely highway. For the remainder of games....those damn privates !!

An incredibly slow moving one, especially if there is a lick of rain or snow. Too many drivers babying their $60,000+ babies.

I'm a huge old school fan of the old Illini 8,Sica and South Suburban Private schools though I do like something about every football playing school past,present,future in Illinois.With that said I'm double conflicted on the Tinley/Laurence game.I hate to see either lose but I think Tinley will win and the other conflict? neither will come close to beating either Naz or JC I'm afraid.What did Laurence do against JC backups in round 1 last year? I forgot

Apart from my ill advised rooting for any CPS team, I have a similar hierarchy of rooting interest come the upper rounds of the playoffs. Public souths, then public suburbans elsewhere with some hood in them, then CCL souths, then the grittier ESCCs. Loyola is a 1 year exception due to the Holocek watch.
