Congrats to the Pekin freshman team. They went 8-1 and 7-0 in MI, outscoring MI teams 314-92. Morton freshman were the closest game 20-12. The freshies beat Sterling 36-12 and lost to Rochelle 30-20. Hopefully this group of players can keep developing, although not sure where Pekin will be playing i...

As a Bears fan, I might take Rudolph over Tribisky....and he was only a third rounder!

For a couple of drives Nagy allows the offense to open up. It works. He then tucks it all back away and the bears are in danger of letting the Lions back in...trubisky can make plays when given the chance. This season is on Nagy. Hes in over his head Agreed. Also I have never understood, at any lev...

Anyone still want to fire Lovie? Let's not go overboard. Yes, the Illini have a nice win streak going and I am genuinely happy for Lovie as I have always liked him as person and think he's a decent coach. But to act like people were wrong earlier in the season when the Illini were going nowhere and...

Ah, Bears win - big deal, nobody is excited. Even when the Bears win they make the game painful to watch. Detroit was a sack of potatoes today. With their starting QB out they start a nobody (somebody named Driskel). The nobody almost beat the Bears in the end. The Lions outgained the Bears in total...

IVC take it on the chin today - still a very fine season for the Ghosts!

What the hell happened to Sterling? Sterling is in the Western Big 6 while St. Rita is in the CCL/ESCC (Green). St. Rita has only played one team this year with a losing record. This game didn't surprise me at all. I must say that I am not surprised St. Rita won, but I must say that I am quite take...

Really wanted to talk about Alabama but what a 4th quarter by Illinois!!!!

Yeah, trying to follow both games on-line. What a great win for Illinois and what a game between LSU-ALABAMA....two great QB's throwing for 800 yards!

I think I'm in big poo-poo!!!

Trust me, and I'm sure y'all will get this, but, it's not so much about the money. Pretty sure I won't heard the end of this for a loooooooong time.

You are in a HUGE poo-poo!

What a GREAT comeback....down 28-3...scoring with just a few seconds left...on the road...happy for Lovie Smith and Illini

Wowser! Illinois coming from wayyyy back, down only 31-24 but driving for score in fourth quarter. What a comeback this would be...

What the hell happened to Sterling? St. Rita 32 Sterling 0 :shock: East St. Louis 70 Rock Island 28 at RI. Geez, the Flyers have another great team. I still would've like to see Central play East St. Louis. No doubt Central loses but how many points would have been scored in that game? Normal losing...

Minnesota upsets Penn State -(maybe it wasn't an upset)what a job Fleck has done for the Gophers! Wow, many were looking forward to OSU-PSU upcoming game as battle for playoff spot...no more.

No doubt, because of his poor play, Mitch is under a microscope. It would really hard to be only 25 years old and going through the crushing criticism and scorn of millions of fans and NFL onlookers....

Really? I know Washington gave Richards a game last week and maybe you got a chance to see them. I only know that Richards is rated in Chicago Tribune top 20, beat a pretty good St. Rita team with their only loss being to a very good Homewood-Floosmoor team. I also know they have a pretty good runni...

Sterling-St. Rita should be a good game. Sterling walloped a Catholic team in the first round. This might be the year the Warriors make it to the championship. Peoria Central- Richards should be a good game between two talented teams. I don't know how the brackets workout, but would love to see Cent...

Don't worry Bears fans! Trubisky is fixing the problems with the offense by turning off the TV's at Halas Hall because he is sick of hearing about how bad the offense is. Another solution might be to play better, but what do I know?

Mitch better turn off the PJS sports forums board!

And in reality, the only good example of tuning out stupidity is Stephen A. Telling the Bears to go sign Cam Newton. Why in the hell would you touch an injury prone QB who's taken on as many hits as he has. If Cam Newton is fully healthy next year, I would take a look. He is still young enough to m...

How about this stat about the Bears RBs this year. Jordan Howard has more rushing yards by himself than Montgomery, Cohen, and Mike Davis have combined. I've been hearing that if the Bears release Davis after week ten that they could receive a compensatory draft pick next year. That would be key si...

Team once again looked ragged and undisciplined - what was there, FOUR defensive offsides in first half? And right before half, the Bears had stopped Eagles on third down but their defensive player roughed the passer, giving Eagles first down allowing the Eagles to score touchdown. Also, I get reall...

Pekin gave it a game, down 28-19 late before turnover and easy score for Thornton, 35-19. Just like Pekin, Thornton was on a hot streak with five game win streak. Great season for Pekin who finishes 6-4 and co-champs in the MI. Unless Dunlap wins over Rocky (20-18 right now so Eagles have chance) M...

Morton down 21-0 at half. Tough matchup with Joliet Catholic, wish they had a different school in the first round

Pekin down 21-7, a little too much speed for Pekin at this point...but Pekin just scored on another long pass so they are hanging in there 21-13. Good job thus far against a very fast team. One thing though, Thornton does not a lot of players, depth could be a problem for them in the second half if ...

If you are going with the Peoria schools and MI, I agree that the QB from Central should be strongly considered. Honestly, I don't know enough/seen enough to make an educated guess! But it seems that QB from Central had a lot of outstanding games, leads the most explosive offense in the area and Ce...
