I'm puzzled but pleased.
6-0 and not quite sure what to make of this team.

Montini 28 Loyola 27
- Thread starter mchsalumni
- Start date
Montini played a good 2nd half of football today. This was a vast improvement over the Rita game. They are getting there.
I'm relaxed! Happy about the win but curious how anomalous this season is in the CCL-B.
Good stuff though, hoping for 8-1 or 7-2.
Look out next year. Should be a very dangerous team in 2019.
Like I said on another thread...
Any win against Loyola is huge especially on the road
Your talking about a traditional powerhouse private school 3-4x Montini's size.

Look, LA is on the schedule and your playing them in Wilmette. Any win is a good win in my book and beating them on the road is important for a team like Montini with a large amount of sophomore and junior players.
Dude, not taking anything away but this team is not good. How do they do against any other LA team?
Pretty obvious. The comments made by New Trier's head coach got in their heads. They stopped showing up to practice and focused more on school. GPAs are up, wins are down.
Gotta call you out on this. You Loyola guys always say how great of a coach holecek is. Now all of a sudden when the season is going down hill it’s because it’s “a different group of kids”.
Ridiculous.
Historically been a tough place to win and comeback on a team. Just thought the Montini kids did a nice job.
The Bears were good in 1985 so what does it have to do with Montini out playing Loyola
.... who did great as underclassmen.
Considering how important others argued with me is a big deal -- and I agree to an extent -- it is perplexing. I didn't see this coming

Except this is their first year in the Blue. A crossover win here and there isn't competitive.
Both teams played hard ... A cheap and ignorant shot serves no purpose.
Cheap and ignorant? Yikes. It was clearly in jest. And, if anything, it was a shot at the ignorant/wrong comments made by the New Trier coach.
Loyola has not been a team we follow on the LWE radar on a yearly basis so please excuse any errors here. I do remember the talk of last year was the enormous talent on the lower levels as well as the injuries the team had last year during the season. Did LA not play a ton of juniors and even sophomores last year? Have they had the same injury situation this year to slow down the usual development? Again most of this information was from TV broadcasts that are sometimes hype based. What is the real story?
Disappointment in a team is hard to take. Montini had a very disappointing season last year, made the playoffs and lost in the 1st round to Dekalb. First round loss for Montini in over 15 years and much was expected from that group of kids. Maybe Loyola isn't as good as in the past but I take nothing away from them, their coach or their tradition. I know they had some key injuries going into this game but it looked to me that Montini wanted this game more than Loyola. IMO Loyola needs to regroup and get ready for the playoffs and they may surprise some people going forward
