Pwned.....poor b*st*rds.

I'd rather lose in the first round in the mud than win on someone else's pretty turf.

Sports are all about luck. Just last Sunday the Bengal's were lucky enough to have a better QB than the Bears.

BTW, has anybody even considered praying for dry weather? Might just work. Don't overdo it though....might end up in a multi-year drought.

FWIW, Duchon didn't look playable y/d. Wonder where they will hold that game?

Adam Jahn in the Sun-Times likes Glenbard South advancing to the semi-finals and then losing to St. Francis. He has another Catholic high school, Springfield Sacred Heart-Griffin, as 5A champs.

Congratulations to Glenbard South Raiders on their victory over Vernon Hills. It looks like the next game is at Woodstock.

Also congrats to Glenbard North on advancing in 8A with a shutout over Sandburg. Downers Grove South is the next opponent.

Could three Glenbards be completing for 5A, 7A, and 8A championships in Champaign on Saturday, November 28th?

hope Doug Connor is better soon...so sorry, South fans...but you should be VERY proud....

Connor Douglas is the player who broke his leg, not Doug Connor.
