Will set the parameters at minimum of 5 years in a row without missing.
Reading some of the doom and gloom in other thread about Boylan had me look them up. Haven't missed since the 1990 season. Anyone got someone else?
If I were a betting man, I'd say the CPS teams. The way the financial situation is working itself out - the schools are screaming about their cuts - I see nothing but problems for the sports programs. Or should I say: sports programs other than basketball. Since that's the only one that counts to those schools.
So that would be roughly: Harper, Simeon, MP and Payton.
And some other guy around here says SR - but I see them going a solid 5-4 and getting in. There is some very solid talent at that school to discount them.
Only a handful of CPS teams make it. You really thing Simeon and Phillips won't make the playoffs?
MC140,
Re a strike in CPS, do you think the teachers will even step foot in the classroom without a contract? As I understand from a friend in the district there is no contract in place, and the mayor is in no hurry to change his stance about a 7% pay cut and removal of medical benefits in retirement. No contract, no pay, I don't see how they even step foot in the classroom.

I believe they just work under the old contract without their yearly % raise or at least that is how my wife's district worked.They still get paid if they don't strike, just don't get their raises without a new contract. They will wait until end of September so kids get back in school routine which will piss the parents off even more and put pressure on Rahm to settle.
Well if they start out slow they could be in trouble due to likely teachers strike coming in late September.
Knowing and having talked to several teachers in CPS the strike will happen in late September or early OctoberMC140,

MC lucked out by Hales forfeit or they would not have made playoffs.I thought MC's was coming to an end last year after week 8. This year maybe The Beloved?
Unless the Nic-10 is strong this year(hold for laughter....) I don't see Boylan missing the playoffs this year. I could of sworn they missed a year in the 2000's under Appino...Will set the parameters at minimum of 5 years in a row without missing.

One of Appinos years in 2000-2005 was bad. And, I think Boylan still finds a way to go 5-4. The conference is pretty poor, and I don't think Boylan has gone that far down. Just a matter that they are no longer a 9-0, 8-1 type team anymore and everyone is overstating it (and partly happy to see it in the Stateline). Imagine that East, Jefferson, and Freeport are W's, and North, Belvidere, Guilford are games that will determine what happens with the season.Unless the Nic-10 is strong this year(hold for laughter....)
