Tribune prep columnist ranks GBW football in local Top 20. Now go win some games.

Link to Trib

"Rounding out the top five guard/center contingency is Notre Dame commit Chris Watt (Glen Ellyn, Ill./Glenbard West). Watt sticks on the opponent like paint on the wall. He delivers powerful first punches with his hands and then uses them to maintain control and sustain his blocks. Like Burnette, his churning leg drive creates knock-back off the line of scrimmage."

BTW, is there a line on the GW/GS game?

What time is the pre-party on GE Place?

8 A.M.

Who told you about the party??? I mean....there IS NO PARTY!

Just because i am south of roosevelt, doesn't mean that I don't know what goes on in the CLEA.

Make up game at Wheaton College....OPRF 14.....GW 54.

OPRF came out blazing and scored early. Defensive adjustments made and they were shut down. Second half included the mandated running clock and JV players because it was so out of reach.

Do any of you long-time Glen Ellynites know when the football team last started the season 5-0??

That was quite a Homecoming victory: 69 - 13!!!

Daily Herald Story

Was it '83 when they won it all? If so, I'd guess that was the last time they started 5-0.

5-0 is nice...but I think Coach Chad would admit that the challenging part of the season is ahead. York, HC, LT and DG North will be the true tests. Will be interesting to see how they do against these teams.

One game at a time, JRB, that's how they roll.

Amy is correct. Although the Hilltoppers have had other good seasons, the 1983 one is the record to tie.

I hope those poor b@stards at York can recover by tonight for their homecoming dance. Who the hell schedules a team that might kick their @ss for homecoming? GW 42, York 6...game was no where as close as the score indicates.

The game was definitely over in the first 6 minutes, even with excruciatingly bad referees. Defense was outstanding! Running game was clicking from the get go. One linebacker made a great sack. I think it was #57

WTG WEST!

I didn't think the refs did that bad a job. They have to call penalties...regardless of the eventual outcome. The personal foul against GW....cheap shot by a kid that should have known better. Especially when you are stepping on the other guy's throat in their own house. But everybody makes mistakes. My wife married me. Can't hold one play against someone.

Also, I think the rule in HS is different than in the NCAA and NFL with regard to punt possession. I think the ball is considered to still be in possession of the kicking team until the receiving team gets control of it. Obviously the kicking team can't grab it and run like a kickoff. Because the hold happened before GW controlled the ball, the holding call was a 5 yard penalty against West...giving the Dukes a first down. I checked with someone who would know about that this A.M. I was baffled at what they were doing on that play also. If anyone knows the real rule instead of my poorly explained version, let us know.

I sat with friends on the home side. Boy them kids have a lot of "spirit" at York. But the GW side was equally into it. They have a great facility...natural turf and all ...and it was a great way to spend a Friday night.

The team is already down at West this morning - watching film and meeting, then doing a clean-up at the school campus and Prairie Path. What good citizens!!

Last year York came to town for West's Homecoming after the Dukes' notorious FaceBook/Red Cup incident suspensions had been revoked. I believe West owed them one!!

Best quote of the Herald story is from York's coach: "Tommy (York QB) didn't have time to scratch his nose, let alone find an open receiver."

Shouldn't there be quotation marks if'n that's a quote? You know...just asking.

Wow - Proofreading on five hours' sleep or less. I'll fix it - as soon as I make certain you're right!

You're right.

But you did get the game's score wrong. It was 48 - 6 (over 40 points ahead, hence the running clock).

The Dukes knew what they were up against and were as fired up as a team can be, IMO. The Pep Rally was AMAZING, as it always is. I've yet to work at or attend a school with as much school spirit at York displays. My alliegences are somewhat torn only because I like to see the Homecoming team win but GW's done a great job so far this season and they earned the win. I won't be at the dance tonight but there will likely be much bruising, egos and body parts.

I've never heard a band play the fight song of the opposing team before. I thought that was a nice touch and I sang my heart out.

Sophomores won with a final score of 48-0. Still haven't heard the freshman results yet. Well, at least it's a good way to forget about the Boys in Blue.
