ESL- The best in the state

We have the advantage of watching that in slow motion. The officials do not.
When I saw it at full speed it appeared to me as if the receiver caught the ball and his knee was down before the ball was taken away.
When I saw it in slow motion my mind didn’t change. What is the opinion of Posters who are unbiased?
Knee was down??? On a diving catch where both made a play on the ball???
Many have already shared and you are the FIRST to say the call was correct.
Hopefully a similar call will be made in the favor of ESL and you will congratulate the refs on a job well done.
I just watched it again. I stopped it frame by frame as best I could. His knee clearly hits the ground first. You can’t actually see the ball for several frames. After his body turns 90° the ball is taken away.
My view of this play does not change.
if I understand the rules of IHSA football correctly, once the ball carriers knee is down the play is over. If he loses possession after his knee is down it is irrelevant.
Awwl, Corey
I’m persistent and TRUTHFUL!
Let’s see, haven’t not missed a game this year, I’ve traveled 5 hours 6 times booked three overnight stays in Chicagoland for an undefeated regular season with multiple running clocks!!
Were kinda invested.

I just watched. ESL was the better team, that said they should of had several more penalties for excessive celebration and unsportsmanlike conduct. Their is a big time lack of discipline for such a talented team. They would struggle against any of these teams. East, Naz, MC, Warren, HF. I said it before and will repeat. The road in 7 & 8A is much more difficult to win a state championship IMO.
knee was down. This individual is a crazy person.
I doubt that 800 number for Mt Carmel. It must have been multiplied. SR"s looks high, as well
What's your source, please.
So, SR has 37 fewer students and they're 2 classes below us?
MC divide by 1.65 then by 2 for single sex school
SR divide by 2. Not multiplied this year.
Naz divide by 1.65 then by two to figure # of boys. IHSA believes there is one more male than female in school.
Did Batavia get a sideline warning for what happened at 5:45?
How about just take actual enrollment and multiply x 2 then x 1.65 for MC.
Then multiply x 2 for SR
Then multiply x 1.65 for Naz
No he’s been away for a while. Early release for parole because of humanitarian reasons due to Thanksgiving holiday.
IHSA just lists football enrollment not actual. Shell and the pea on their part. The numbers are close but are off most of the time by one or two.
The really interesting part is @MC63 thinks Montini should compete in 7A with MC. A school with more than twice as many boys and a deeper tradition and alumni base with the exact same recruiting capability.
Seems fair, right?
The page on the IHSA website titled "Two Year Cycle Enrollments and Classifications" lists every schools "actual" enrollment (doubled for all boys schools). These figures do not include the 1.65 multiplier which it says may be applied. SR does not have the multiplier applied, MC does.
The playoff summary by class lists each team with the 1.65 multiplier added in, if applicable.
Therefore MC is listed as 1237 on the overall page, but 2041.05 on the 7A Playoff Summary page, for example.
I’d venture to say the average enrollment of all three schools is 600 students...
Ha! 63 is my guy... Insightful, passionate and I always learn something when he talks. His perspective is derived from facts in most cases...
Not at all.... But, you know how people feel on here.

Plus they have access to Big Shoulders Scholarship funds that the suburban schools do not.

MCHS should just schedule MC for every game in every sport, including girl's sports. Seems reasonable since Montini has a distinct advantage.
I sure do. You play pretty much the same schedule as us, Rice, Loyola, and Marist during the season ... why not do it in the playoffs, as well? You might be small enrollment-wise, but, you play at or near the top of what is likely the toughest prep football conference in the country.There is no reason for you to be playing less sophisticated programs in the playoffs.
Period.
See this is why I have to comment. I expect you to be truthful and not a hater. Example, LWE came to Ofallon and celebrated damn near every play. Unfortunately they loss and was upset but hey, they don’t celebrate. I watched HF do the same thing to Ofallon and Edwardsville. Please don’t post BS just to make a point. Especially flat out lie when I was at the games I mentioned.
Bottom line is I can respect your opinion but unfortunately you can’t do the same. HF hasn’t beat anyone nor won state to compare them. I will also add we won state Twice in 7A. I can speak from experience with my opinion. You have yours and I have mine but to make a post about celebration and undisciplined is horse **** and beneath you!
Perhaps we could trade ... you get our Big Shoulders funds and our students' families get your average Oakbrook household income.
Seems fair.
Interestingly, except for MC not one of the schools you mentioned was on the Montini schedule this year, but ok?
Sure, as long as we can dump Willowbrook, Hinsdale Central, Glenbard West and Downers Grove North within 4 miles from MC to add to that recruiting pressure. Outside the other CCL schools there is no competition for students.
