Journal Star Sports Forums

I do not post about teams I coach for......but after having a few celebrating cool ones and watching with mason OU win Bedlam (he goes to OU), what the heck It was a pleasant surprise to read on the PJ-Star forum positive comments about Rochester, they are usually negative. All week we have read/he...

Anybody got MTCO TV? Cant find any channel that is brodcasting the playoffs???

Here are the semifinal matchups in Class 4A-6A: 4A (2) Richmond-Burton (12-0) @ (1) Coal City (12-0) (9) Murphysboro (10-2) @ (3) Effingham (11-1) 5A (2) Rockford Boylan (12-0) @ (8) Chicago St. Rita (9-3) (2) Rochester (11-1) @ (12) Mascoutah (9- 3) 6A (1) Crystal Lake Prairie Ridge (11-1) @ (2) D...

Does Metamora still have a basketball team? Are they planning on having any games this season? Anyone?

anybody know where to find a mid-illini basketball schedule? MTHS web site has info on last years team but nothing for this year...i dunno, maybe they dont have a team anymore? Think its time to keep the website updated

Mid Ilinin way down this year as usual powerhouse washington gets beat. As usual, IHSA Playoff scores are not on their site....What would it take for the IHSA to hire someone to post scores soon after the games, Duh.

Im mostly a lurker on here regarding basketball as im mainly a football fan. But I usually follow most H.S. posts on all sports. I dont personally know "Ging", but from reading his posts for years on here, I believe he is very fair and honest in his opinions. Sometimes he is brutally "honest", but i...

Interest in high school football has been declining for several years, and going to districts may or may not change that one-way or the other. My interest has declined along with a lot of other fans. I will most likely still attend some local games if a good match-up. Almost every school in my area ...

Question for the posters: I no longer subscribe to the PJS for a multitude of reasons. Where can i find (on-line) the mid illini basketball scores, results, records, schedules, etc....IHSA does not list basketball results to my knowledge.....Help!

Im willing to bet that both the 4A and 5A championship winners will be a catholic school

"Hail Mary, full of grace". Where were you when i needed you?

And if fans are feeling frisky Eureka has a 5p start for their game. If fans are looking for a Friday night game the closest is Shepard at Normal West with a 7:30p kickoff. Likely a lot of beverage consumption afterwards. Either in celebration or drowning of the sorrows .Relax. The Panthers are a l...

5 pts parking is great unless there is something going on that would cause it to be blocked off. If it is not avail, there is a small church parking lot north of the field at the west corner of newcastle and wilmore road that is a very short walk to the field. Should not be a prob there if u get the...

(7) SHG (8-2) @ (2) Washington (10-0) (3) Glenwood (9-1) @ (11) Crete-Monee (7-3) This is shaping up to be a very magical year for the Panthers. Get by SHG and Chatham wins, 3 straight home games!!! HOw so? Glenwood is away next game, so would have less home games than the Panthers, so would get to...

Talked with several Metamora fans all rooting for the Panthers. At this point would anything be better than seeing two Mid Illini teams winning tough first round matchups vs the top league in Illinois football. It would be a shame if people are blinded by the best downstate rivalry and not realize ...

According to a NLP fan on Edgy’s site Metamora players were sitting with them and cheering for NLP last night. Dont belive that for a second. I was setting near some Birds players and fans and did not see them cheering for either team. Next to me were some SHG fans and/or coaches with SHG jackets o...

Looking at JCA's record this year. Elmhurst (IC Catholic) with an enrollment of 529 students beat JCA 42-0. What? Can that be right? Any JCA fans care to comment?

Slim and none, and Slim left town. JCA will destroy the Birds defensive line. JCA + 21

let the coaches seed the teams in their bracket. the ihsa can tweak the outcome if necessary. higher seeded team hosts, period.

also, neutral site playoff games for semis, preferably on turf.

Your second point re neutral site makes a lot of sense.

Well, hope this dont generate a long debate again, but here goes:
Public Schools and Catholic schools should have their own Playoffs. (And I went 8 yrs grade school and 2 yrs high school to Catholic schools).

Dishnet not televising parings this year. Cant seem to find a free streaming location....help!

i heard he broke a finger a couple games ago. Not sure if he got it injured again last nite, but he sure didnt play very long. Who is the #14 backup QB? Did a grreat job
