Would seem this would be a great opportunity for them as they got some guys back and could build momentum...

This is a ongoing debate but I again talked to people from both schools & they said they are not eligible which again is B.S. If you play in the CCL then you should be eligible to play in the Prep Bowl playoffs.Piss on any of the other schools who don't like it.I also already stated the fact all schools are welcome to practice until the day of the final state title games.If they don't do so then don't ***** & moan when others do

Wrestling and Basketball start practicing in early November. If your season is done I am sure players and coaches involved in those sports would much prefer to move on to those sports.

true but then again those schools or others should not throw a tantrum if others decide to practice and or at the teams in the prep bowl.why not practice with the kids not involved in those other sports if enough are available?

I just remembered something neat.In 1979 the Mayor of Chicago had said the Prep Bowl was becoming a snooze fest so he wanted outside teams in there.It was GREAT when Joliet Catholic & Marian Catholic out of the Illini 8 got invited then 3 schools from the Sica who had outstanding seasons(Thornridge,TF North and Oak Lawn) were to be invited on the public side but the Sica said no.Julian beat Joliet Catholic that year in the Prep Bowl(though counted as such I'm thinking they called it something different that year) Championship.Joliet Catholic didn't get a invite the next year.

Damn that would have been epic - TF North was the ish in that time period - (a lot of old CVS, MC, Fenger, Mendel genes on that team).

Pc joined ccl 96 then it was call cmc chicago metro confrence. I believe providence has always declined because they thought it was below them, and until 2005 technically it was because they always made it to far into the playoffs. Then once the program took a step back they stood by their original stance.
