I congratulate you three for GW's victory this afternoon over the Caravan.

Early this morning I struggled with the decision on whether to drive to Glen Ellyn or stay in Wilmette and watch LA play Stevenson. Persuaded by a neighbor who has a son on the team, I went to LA and was treated to a running clock, 49-0 game where LA dismissed the very foe which vanquished both LA and GW last year.

Perhaps LA beating the Patriots today will enhance the Hilltopper's win over the Caravan.

As a long-time LA fan, I broaden my horizons in the playoffs and typically go "all in" for the Blue Division and would have preferred a Caravan win, but judging from the account I got from a LA spectator who was getting texts from someone in Glen Ellyn today, Sam Brodner is quite an impressive player and difficult to take down.

Similarly, shutting out a MC team, any MC team, is an grand accomplishment. While GW's football program did not need this win to acquit itself, it is a game which signals a first-rate football program.

Regardless of the fact Libertyville is a short drive from my home up here, I plan on being a champion of GW for the remainder of the playoffs and my genuine ambition is for GW to win the 7A title.

Last: I started a thread last week and regret several posts I made. I did not direct any passage to any of you three, the GW football staff or players.

GW has a fan within the Blue Division. I hope to catch a re-play on Comcast this week.

You are a good man and a stand up guy.

That was two heavyweights going toe to toe today. GW may not be at the same level as LA, which according to Massey is the #11 team in the USA and maybe higher after today's throttling, but today we learned we can play Big Boy football with a quality program. MC knows how to scrap. I think our boys learned something today.

I tried to stay out of the main fray earlier because I lacked most of the context, but I can imagine that if you are around here long enough, some things really get under your skin.

You, and LA, obviously have many fans here on the board. I'm sure those numbers will swell this week. Hopefully, we will get a chance to celebrate a couple of titles in DeKalb.

Classy post. Good luck to LA next week. That should be an epic game.

Thanks. As I said in another thread, this win meant a lot for us as we have a lot of respect for MC, it's program and trandition. It was truly a great game. Good luck to MC in the Prep and LA in 8A. Healthy respect is always good. Hopefully GW will be the warm up band for LA
