Not me - I’m going with Brother Rice (for now) and Naz number 2 and that is for this season only! I’m not taking “program” rankings.

And that is private schools per the thread. LWE still top dog until someone can knock them off.

Private:
1 BR
2 Naz
3 Marist
4 MC
5 LA
6 Montini

Public:
1 LWE
2 HF
3 Stevie
4 Evanston
5 Batavia
6 Cary Grove
7 Maine South

Voodoos VSR (Voodoo Side Rankings) combined top 10:
1 LWE
2 BR
3 HF
4 Naz
5 stevie
6 Marist
7 Evanston
8 Batavia
9. Cary Grove
10 Maine South.

I wanted to put MC in the top 10 - but they lost to Swagger.

I put Swagger in the top 10 over MC and LA even though they lost to Barrington, who then turned around and had a let down in the Evanston game. Hence Evanston ahead of Swagger.

Batavia hasn’t beaten anyone of note - but they defending 7A champs, undefeated, and have earned a pass with the light schedule (at least with me and for now. Big game with WWS up next)

Cary with a huge win vs Huntley (and convincing win)... and If they beat both PR and NC?.... clear favorite and top dog in 6A and in the mix for top 5 in the state?

Lurking just outside top 10:
* MC
* LA (dropping fast though. Getting beat in a competitive game is one thing,..Taking a 35-3 loss is quite another in terms of interviewing for the top 10.
* Montini.
I'm going to say Stevenson is top public school !

Can you read loser? Stevie (short for Stevenson) #3 public and # 5 overall in my top 10’s.

You putting them on top ahead of LWE? You and Beth Long should be pollsters together. But that would be offensive to Beth Long as she is light years ahead of you.

One of our great teams that had Jaleel Johnson and Jordan Westerkamp on it which beat a loaded JCA in the State title game I think 70 to 45, lost to Loyola that same year like 42 to 21.

The reason we did not play quality teams is we were moved to the blue. In the past we would play Maine South, Palatine or East St Louis type of team.

I still don’t understand all this Montini love. Who have the played? (Black) and Blue games await the Broncos!
I was talking about Montini's past performance in making the State playoffs a ton of times and quite a few state championships. I agree that school is still out on Montini this year as they have not played what I would consider top quality teams. That changes in the up coming weeks and I will have a better handle of what type of team they will be this year. They do have very good coaches and a lot of talented players so you never know how they will perform in the CCL Blue.

Speaking of this years football season, it is a toss up for me between BR and Nazareth. With past football glory in mind, I like MC, Rita, Loyola, JC and Montini.
Got to include Providence in that group.

Come on man, Rita got beat by JCA pretty handily, and St Laurence got served by Benet who just lost to a meh ND team. If you’re going to pitch a ***** at least keep the other side clean.

St Laurence and St Rita aren’t exactly chopped liver. St Joseph, Christ The King? I mean c’mon LOL

Even the Montini guy agreed they have played no one....

I'm going to disagree with you a little . ND isnt meh. This year. Watched a bunch of them and think they are solid all the way around. They are going to be a tough out in 6A.

What’s st Rita’s and St. Laurence’s records? How about Lockport’s? We all know st laurence is very very young. St Rita is not good. Fact. It’s okay to say they haven’t played a good quality team yet. It’s ok. JCA has only played one good team. In fact a great team and we lost. We play Marist next, then benet. We will be tested for sure.

Agree they will be a tough out in 6A but they have the advantage of no multiplier to get there. I’ve watched every game they played that was online and my opinion is meh, yours is better it’s all good my friend.

I’ve said all along that PC has not played a true solid opponent yet. Same as Montini. That’s all. Yet lots of love for the Lombard boys. Next 5 games will tell more of the 2018 tale for both teams. If anything it will be great tune up for playoffs, for both teams, assuming the boys aren’t demolished in these games and in turn lose confidence. Oct 12th will be a head to head game. Hopefully a great game.

Amazing to me how far these things can veer off course.

In the last 10 years? I think you have to go with Montini. 08-18? 5 titles & 2 runner ups. Including an undefeated run after being multiplied. That season they beat 8a Maine South, East Side, and CCL blue St. Rita.

This year? Nazareth probably but feel like its too early to tell. Naz beat LZ but LZ looking very human this year. MC looks nasty, BR as well. IC through a beating to JCA. Despite 2 losses nobody wants to see loyola on the schedule.

No offense, but those titles, while admirable, were won early in the morning against tiny schools.

Still get a ring for it right? And a trophy? Trophy is the same size as the 8a one I believe. Tough to win 4 in a row regardless of class. 6a title, the most recent one is 2 away from the biggest class. Beat bigger schools that year including Prairie Ridge w/ Superman Evans.

For someone who is always talking about MC having the most titles never a word that atleast 4 of them were won early in the morning, do you still count those in your total?

I'm not here to analyze morning, noon, or night. Did you win the big game or not? There are PLENTY of schools (kaneland, sycamore, JCA, Marian Central) that would LOVE those early morning trophies.

Didn't they also beat Mt. Carmel in a couple of them years.

Montini beat Mount Carmel in '16, not one of their state title years. BUT if we're talking the last 10 years, that's another blue win (also beat BR) for the Broncos which further strengthens my point.

Mr Baby:

Mt Carmel has won 12 state championships. Of these, two were at the highest level at that time; nine were one level down; and one was two levels down. We've lost five state championship games: two at the highest level at that time, and three at one level down. We lost in the semis in 1987 to East St Louis in the highest level.

In the seven years from 2006 to 2012, we competed in 8A playoffs.

Thank you.

And the title of this thread still has "RIGHT NOW" in it. You could make an argument for Mount Carmel right now.

Report: Police called after Mount Carmel fan caught taping Neuqua ...

articles.chicagotribune.com/.../chi-report-police-called-after-mount-carmel-fan-caught...

  1. Cached
Nov 17, 2012 - A Mount Carmel fan was caught illegally videotaping Neuqua Valley's practice from the stands Friday, in advance of Saturday's Class 8A ...

Damn - that title is tainted!! That was 2012 when NV and WV duked it out twice (OT game and 3pt game in Qtrs with end of game FG) and NV was in semis vs MC.

I believe that 2012 Run was NV’s only semi final appearance and was their best team ever.

On a related note - Even though they didn’t make it to the semis the WV 2012 team was arguably the best WV team ever as well. The old guys will disagree and say the team from 1992 (1993?) that made it to semis was the best. They beat Naperville North in season? And then lost 7-0 in semis to yes - Naperville North who then won the title! (NN fan can you confirm?). The third best team is probably the Cinderella 2015 WV team that made the semis).

What's tainted about the title? The MC "fan" was one of the player's uncle.

Is this one better?

Mount Carmel fan caught taping Neuqua practice

Naperville police were called to Neuqua Valley Friday afternoon after a Mount Carmel fan was seen illegally taping Neuqua’s football practice.

Naperville police were called to Neuqua Valley High School Friday afternoon after a Mount Carmel fan was seen illegally taping Neuqua’s football practice before the teams’ big playoff game Saturday night.

According to Naperville Police Cmdr. Mike Anders, a police officer went out to Neuqua at 4 p.m. Friday when one of the coaches spotted the man in the bleachers using a video camera and taking notes during football practice. Police were called because the man was trespassing on school grounds, Anders said.

It is also a violation of IHSA rules to videotape an opponent’s practice sessions.

When asked by the police officer the man, 56, of North Aurora, said he was “scouting” on his own and not at the behest of Mt. Carmel. He said he has a relative who plays for Mount Carmel and he wanted to get the lowdown on Neuqua’s team.

According to Anders, the man gave over the sheet of paper he was writing on that contained some quick notes about Neuqua’s team. He also surrendered the disc from his video camera to Neuqua officials.

After that, Neuqua officials decided not to press charges against the man. Because there are no charges against him, Naperville police did not release the man’s name.

Neuqua officials said the man was welcome to come to Saturday’s game — where he wouldn’t be trespassing.

Belichick recorded in game which is the same thing every high school and college team with a budget does using iPads and local intranet. Open your eyes to what’s going on on the fields today. Regarding taping practice that’s a different issue.

Learned from Belichick I guess

Uncle mount Carmel?

Sorry I should have put a wink face after the tainted title comment but was moving too fast. Of course the title is not tainted. Although I think it’s poor form to video someone’s practice. I mean it’s pretty damn obvious with one guy sitting in the stands watching a practice. That guy wasn’t the sharpest tool in the shed that’s for sure

Plus - from the way things go on the forum - I would say School ties run deeper than being the kids uncles cousin (Or whatever his claim was) and that tape was heading to Coach Lenti ;););););););););););););););););)

2012 (vs Glenbard North) and 2013 (Lake Zurich). Thanks for asking.

Those were fabulous teams, you are correct. So in an effort to swing this thread back to its intended title, is MC the #1 catholic school now after slaying the giant in Loyola?
