All I have seen out there is MC to score 7 points total and Flyers running clock on MC.
Upset heard around the world is a bit excessive and after the smoke cleared from the season it really wasn't that much of an upset at all. MC finished 11-3 and while they did have a good playoff run they were beaten handily by Maine South 28-7 in the title game....It was a good MC but not consistered a great one and many were surprised they made it as far as they did especially after the Simeon loss and getting beaten badly by Rita that year. Simeon on the other hand was a great team led by QB Robert Gregory. They were ranked as high as #3 that year and went undefeated until. 3 point loss to Lake Zurich in the semifinals who lost to WWS in the Finals in a tight game....so it may have been considered an upset when it happened but as the season completed it really wasn't. Not one MC starter on that team went D1.
Ah yes, the days where suburban publics ruled... when a not great MC made the 8A championship game. I do agree that 8A was down that year though. WWS put a clock on MS in week 1 in Wheaton in a game I was at, I have no doubt MS improved throughout the season. That Simeon offense was one of the most prolific I have seen in IL excluding nobody, that game at Soldier Field was eye opening (I actually miss going to the Pre-Season Prep Bowl). As for Simeon they slept walk through the 1st 3.5 quarters against LZ and ran out of time to complete a late comeback, was at that one too. Another game I was at was the round 1 prolific beating MC put on Bailey & Co at Gately at like 3PM, then swung around to NN @ Marist. There was definitely P5 talent on that MC team, matter of fact I recall there being a UofI signee (DL i think) that went and told Beckman that they need to get Bailey.
"IF" is a powerful word!!! Nothing said by the Mt Carmel supporters will help EStL against the Mighty Caravan. Either they are hunting or they will be hunted and the score, at the end, will show who the Flyers are!~~~ There will be no excuses, no injuries and no ********... Just good ole football! I just hope no one gets hurt!~
I remember the 3pm game vs The Brook that year. Another thing I won't miss about Gately. You most certainly got your revenge on MC the next year.Ah yes, the days where suburban publics ruled... when a not great MC made the 8A championship game.

All that to say it was entertaining to see it explicitly stated that comments from here impacted the outcome of the game. Ever since then gotta post wisely
