Did anyone see that the 4 teams from Glenbard Wests' conference all lost in the first round of the playoffs? It goes to show that you play the game on the field and not in the Chicago media.

You are incorrect. Proviso West won their first round game against a CPL team. Hinsdale Central's All State quarterback did not play in their first round game or else that game would have had a much better result. GW is a great team and in their non-conference games, they destroyed a very good Glenbard South team 49-0 and also beat Downers Grove South. When Hononegah gets blown out tomorrow, I am pretty sure you will be eating your words.

They were up 7-0 at half and beat Guilford 28-0. Similar games of Harlem, Hono & Boylan vs Guilford. I am sure that they are good but my point is that you don't play games in the newspaper. Ask the Wheaton -Warrenville South team that lost to Lake Zurich for the state championship a couple of years ago about the weak conference they thought LZ played in.
No words to eat--just making a point. You don't have to agree but history shows that ALL conferences go through cycles of up and down seasons.

Wow. A 27-14 blowout. What was the Harlem-Hono score? How about Boylan-Hono? I was at the game and GW is a very good team. Spoke with one of their assistant coaches about their program. They were 1-9 two years ago and brought in their current coach. He says that their conference is average and was upset that the only other win the conference had was against a Public League team. It would have been nice to see a Harlem-GW matchup followed by a Boylan-GW game as well. We will never know! Good luck to GW from here on in.
