Saw Neuqua's Gronowski on the court last night against Oswego and that Timutly was playing against East Aurora for Willowbrook as well. What other top football players excel at other sports to keep an eye on.

Four football players are expected to play basketball for De La Salle this season, including Jason Moore. Football is his future in college, but Moore's a nice basketball player who brings great energy and spark off the bench. These kids will help us.

I wish DLS still played in the the Oswego/Naper North Thanksgiving tourney. I have some un-fond memories of playing them in the the East Aurora Xmas tourney in the late 80's.

Was the 2A state champ last year. Great shot to repeat this year now in 1A.

IF at 195, will have to beat a 2x champ to do so.
All due respect no way he wins 195 1A . He’s a great wrestler but Hoselton is on a different level

Marcellus Moore is the only person I’ve seen people crowd around the track to watch at a track meet. He always delivered when I watched him too. Best comeback I ever saw in a relay was him making up about 10 meters as the anchor of a 4x100. Shame he’s graduating early so I won’t be able to see him on the track again. He already holds the 100m state record(he did as a sophomore)

Matt Mangan and Vaughn Pemberton play big minutes for Loyola's basketball team. And a number of New Trier and Loyola players will play hockey, baseball and lacrosse too

Will he be running this spring for Purdue?

Went to the Manteno half of the Coal City/Manteno Thanksgiving Tourney on Monday & Tuesday...Manteno, Peotone & IC all had numerous football players on their rosters...

Last year, for some reason, IC didn't have any football players on the team at the tournament...

No football players for Beecher, which is expected from a school that doesn't play football...

Josh Allen, Buffalo Bills:
At the time, Josh was about 6-foot-3 and 180 pounds. He hadn't attended the elite quarterback camps and wasn't a widely known prospect. His high school team didn't participate in many 7-on-7 camps because Josh and many of his teammates were busy playing baseball and other sports. He was the leading scorer on his basketball team and also pitched on the baseball team, reaching 90 mph with his fastball.

Is Joe Fanning (OL) playing basketball this year for St Pats? And if not why not?

Big guy, was interesting to see him play b-ball as a junior. Not a traditional basketball build, but he had some potential and talked about how it helped him be a better football player and kept him in shape.

Jack Lausch from Rice. May be a better baseball player than he is a QB.

That’s the video I show people when I talk about his speed. He looks like Forest gump running by every body.

St. Rita Junior ILB Michael Gaughan is a stud at LAX too.
Seems like CCL/ESCC dual sports of choice is football and baseball. do these guys even have a fair chance to tryout for hoops after a deep playoff run? Someone mentioned Moore, what ESCC/CCL kids compete in track?

Wait what? Didn’t prep bowl end at like 2-3? He played a b-ball game after that?

IC won the Manteno half of the Coal City / Manteno tourney, squeaking past Beecher...seems like a number of their players would rather be somewhere else...

And the place is just crawling with scouts from neighboring schools...CC, Wilmo, Peotone, a couple more schools...

Daniel Jezik, RB, Coal City, wrestling scholarship Oklahoma State.

Payton Hutchings, QB, Coal City, baseball scholarship Illinois

Keaton Hopwood, QB, Wilmington, baseball scholarship Coastal Carolina
CC/Wilmington needed more football time. Playing multiple sports didn’t help either team. Both teams were shut out in the playoffs. Which teams did more off season work?

This would be a marquee matchup. The kid from PC is a beast, halfway to becoming 4 timer.
All due respect no way he wins 195 1A . He’s a great wrestler but Hoselton is on a different level

Expected war at 195 title match...Undefeated Hoselton v. one loss Jezik - to Hoselton around Christmas. Jezik wins 195 in a 3-2 decision to avenge his only loss of the season, and snapping Hoselton's hopes of a 3peat...

Congrats to all wrestlers on great seasons...

Great match.
As I watched it, I thought to myself "I sure wouldn't want to have to tackle that!"
It's not often 1A wrestlers get recruited to Okie State.
Well done young man.

This didn’t age well...

The best part here could be that they likely have the rubber match in the team semis...have to figure the Coalers with 11 state qualifiers have to be the favorite in the top half of the bracket...
