Interesting games on the schedule:
- Thread starter Cross Bones
- Start date
No idea, not even trying to sandbag. Naz should be solid but that’s a talented team coming to town. Admittedly I know nothing more than what simple newspaper articles will tell you but I’m excited as heck to watch that game.
Trinity, followed by Ritter, earns small-school program of the year.

From what I saw last year at the Classic Lutheran N looked better than Ritter. Perhaps they played later in the season and proved me wrong, I don't know.
Don't worry they will get 5 wins easy. They turned the corner after week 8 last year.
They go 8-1 with a loss to BR

It could be an atypical year for the Hillmen. IMO, the biggest questions are on both lines, which is unusual (especially the O-line).
StL major transition year. I have heard they are going to the veer. Don't sleep on Ignatius.
Simeon vs nationally ranked (5) St Frances Academy of Baltimore, MD.
Private school that was booted from their conference after blowing everyone out. HC has put a TON of money into the program.

To be absolutely honest this story makes me sick. This is recruiting at its finest. I don’t blame the other schools from taking them off there schedule.
It’s a joke to see him recruiting out of state and paying for players living expenses. I couldn’t even read the rest of the story. It’s not fair. Let the coach open up his fat wallet and play some real teams. Their are plenty around the country that would give them a game. Heck their are a few in Illinois that I believe would give them an eye opener. It’s hard to believe that HS football has come to this.
This type of recruiting should be banned.
My opinion but I am sure if it was happening in Illinois their would be the same reaction.
I think if it happened in Illinois you would have fans arguing on this board that this school of 180 kids should be in 1A.

I disagree. Every poor, beleaguered school like Baltimore's St. Francis should have a benefactor like Coach Poggi. Rich schools at every level buy winning football teams by enticing players with girls, cars, and cash. Poggi gives his players, who are the poorest of the poor, only the gift of free housing, full tuition, and a belief in themselves. Someone should do the same for schools like Leo and Hales Franciscan.
Don't forget to stop at the newly located Frankies Deli now at Butterfield and Midwest Road (Oakbrook Terrace) in between games for a delicious sandwich!!!
It is great to see CCHS vs. Libertyville back. Great local rivalry, and beneficial for both schools IMO.
