Asking now. Play us.
815-464-4000
Ask for the AD.
This is a weird post on a message board, what are you trying to accomplish?
At this time of year it's probably better to let the play on the field do your talking.
MCHS, I will say when the series was scheduled betweeen LWE and Montini a few years ago at least Montini got the home game in of the scheduled two games...

Called them all this past season!
I think it's crazy that any team should travel out of state when there is plenty of Compitition right here.
Edgy, I believe tweeted that the private schools should play teams from the southland. We responded on twitter that we were available. If you want to play us, call us. We already called everyone with no luck.
Is this real? The LWE athletic department has resorted to message boards to solicit games?

you guys open to dates outside of week 1 or week 2? Word on the street is that a ton of DVC teams had to go out of state due to short notice of scheduling after the Upstate 8 crossover was not renewed and every DVC team has a different week open on their schedule...

Would love to see more in state crossovers. I know it's possible because Metea and LWC played in week 9 for a non conference!

Just a dad. A dad who runs a business and doesn't sit and troll the message boards all day. In speaking with the AD and others on staff I asked why we cannot get anyone nearby to play. I was told that we called and nobody would play us. Very simple. If that offends you, I'm sorry. I just does not make sense for anyone to travel any more miles that they need to. There is a lot of competition right here in our own back yard.
If you want to play, call. If not, don't. Not that big a deal. I get it!

Lots of ADs say the same thing. Don't believe them all.

You guys forget that LWE did play Provi for several years and that call was made by LWE. My understanding is that Jcrewx7 is correct.

There are 3 returning starters-Delia at center-Bryant (T) and Rubalcava (T) has started 5 games due to the injury to Gulmulka.
I think they'll have younger Gomulka and Rubalcava at Tackle. Bryant-Frisella probably will probably stay at TE. Delia at C and maybe Rosenberg and Powell at Guards?

Bones I believe your incoming recruits at the Brook over the next two years will be very good. As those freshmen that played varsity this year mature in the weight room and as your OC gets the offense clicking, next year has a lot of promise. Keep your head up and stop lobbying for separation, it will dilute the Illinois football reputation.

Good, I been on the scouting trail working on these recruits. Cant wait until LOI signing day.

As for the IL reputation, the only thing that will help it is to play out of state against highly exposed schools. I think our performance this season has been pretty damn good. NC played one of the top 5 Ohio teams to a 7-7 tie in the 1st half (I think). Then LA, Stevie, ESL, and HC taking down highly ranked teams from other states. Even WWS's game I think can be looked as a positive. I am convinced IL has the best football in the midwest, this includes Ohio. I think our depth is too deep compared to others. Sure they may get us 1-5, but after that...

As for separation. I think the only thing that can fix it is use of that request up sheet.

In the CCL Blue,

Loyola will continue to do their thing

MC should right there if Thomas steps up at QB and can progress

Provi and Rita will be decent and should compete at home but may struggle on the road at MC and LA. Rita will have seasoned seniors to lead them.

Rice will need to rely heavily on underclassmen as the senior class is not really strong. A tough OOC schedule and they could be outside looking in similar to Provi or MC this year.
Williams-Rice at RB, O'Keefe at TE, 3 returning OL starters. Yes losing QB and WRs will hurt but they have some decent Jr and Sophs. On D, Green, Ruffin, Veal, Soph DB, Olson, etc - they should be at least 6-3

Losing a player like Smalling is a big deal, granted I think BR will be strong next year

They added about 1800 LWN students.
LWN varsity football roster was normally about 60-65 kids, think there are about 50 on LWE roster now.
