7 - That the Och is rockin again except this time they got the instruments to make a run.

Thanks for the upstate love! Been a few rough couple of years going undefeated then crashing in the playoffs. It's definitely looking a bit different this time.

You want to knock they way they played thus far? Sure, go ahead if it makes you feel better.

They were conference champs a year ago and went out in the second round.

This team was not supposed to make any noise. Most people (myself included), figured they would be 1-3 at this point in the season. Here they are 4-0 and you are ripping them because of what you feel is a "soft" schedule. The reality is that many teams up North this year are soft. But you still have to play and you still have to win and that is what Hersey is doing.

I never said state champs and neither did Newt. But give credit where credit is due.

And BTW, Maine West is a pretty good team as well. You need to get out more.

Did Hersey have a bunch of sophomores up on varsity last year? Palatine's JV(sophs) played Hersey last year and lit them up for 48 points. I was figuring Hersey would have a "down" junior class next year, but from what I hear it's alot of juniors playing and they're 4-0...so I'm trying to figure out "what gives" and square up what I saw last year vs this year. Was wondering if it might have been like what PHS has this year..soph team struggling but the 7 best sophomores are up on varsity and 5-6 of them see significant time/start, so what soph squad is doing is not truly indicative.

They did not. Hersey was mostly a senior-dominated squad last season. They are just getting the most out of what they have.

Weight room and plenty of Hershey bars with peanut butter.

That’s the beauty of HS - kids can blossom in 12 months and become fearsome!!

Love me some Hershey! Rooting for them! My office is not too far from their campus!!!

We need a Mid-Suburban weekly "Pick em."
Yeah. The BIG game in the MSL West this week is Schaumburg Vs Hoffman Estates while the "ho-hum" game is a battle of 1-3 teams Fremd Vs Palatine. Who could have imagined that a few years ago!
