greg775 Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 Any prep football fans in here? What are Brother Rice's chances vs. St. Rita next Friday. Not sure where the game is played. I love Brother Rice football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buehrle>Wood Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 Join the club. Did you watch them play last year? Their freshman (now sophomore) running back is a flat out stud. He looks like Reggie Bush out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 I cover some prep football for extra cash up in Lake County. Not fond of private catholic schools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BaseballNick Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Brother Rice didn't do so hot against Morgan Park in week 1, so I really can't see them hanging with St. Rita. I went to Mount Carmel, so I've been following them. I expect a good showing on Friday against Fenwick at Toyota Park. They were ahead 37-0 before the half against Lake Forest Academy, but their 2nd and 3rd teams made it a game as it ended 46-30. Apparently there isn't much depth at MC this year.

zenryan Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 My high school Orlando Dr. Phillips is ranked #3 in 6A which is the largest classification in Florida. I think thats pretty cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaseballNick Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 USA Today ranks Maine South #16 and Mount Carmel #24 in their Super 25 rankings. Pretty cool to have two nationally ranked teams in Illinois. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 Undefeated and the #8 team in the state of Indiana, Michigan City is expecting something close to 10,000 people this year for homecoming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This week's going to be a really tough game. Merriville isn't a bad team. I saw their only loss is to Warren Central, and they're an Indianapolis 5A school that's pretty good AND they beat Ben Davis, who's almost always good.

MVille leads the DAC in points scored and points allowed. The interesting thing is that we have been shutting offenses DOWN. Our D has been awesome, plus our top RB has put up 460ish yards the last two weeks, and MVille can't stop the run. I'll be honest, I haven't seen excitement like this here since the 90's when we had Mr Basketball on our team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapkomet Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 IIRC just from watching the scrimmage it comes down to line play. I don't know, of course without being there, if MVille has any size up front. I remember MC is pretty quick in pursuit, you could tell that, but if the D runs into size, they're going to wear down in a game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The amazing thing is that they have been the team wearing the opposition down. The last three weeks they have owned the 4th quarter. The last two weeks the RB has gone over 100 yards+ both times.

kapkomet Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 Yea, there's some pretty good high school football teams in Texas. Dare I say that a lot of "state ranked" teams in other states would be lucky to finish .500 here. That's just a guess, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texsox Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 My favorite fall site is a convoy of six or seven school buses with players, coaches, cheerleaders, band members, spirit squad, pom pom squad, drill team, fans, equipment trucks, a few dozen fans in cars, trucks etc, police escort front and back, sirens wailing and lights blazing, to escort one team a few miles down the road to an away game. That's taking a high school sport seriously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After having experienced both, yes. I would agree. There are a couple of pretty good schools in the metroplex for basketball - but I would think the top 10 in Indiana 4A would handle them most of the time. The football teams here would absolutely destroy those teams up there, though - it's not even close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
