    For those keeping score at home Lip Man is a BR alum as well. 

  • To be fair their starting QB was out with injury, illness or something. I conveniently left that out, lol. Carmel looked like they had good pieces, it was one of those games that just went Rice's way

My son was given the Brother Rice “Andrew Weishar Trench Award” for top OL, leadership on and off the field, and good character.  The award is named after Brother Rice alum Andrew Weishar who died at the age of 21 of cancer in 2012.

All the players also received a framed state championship “newspaper” front page.  The team gets their state championship rings on March 12th.

Sincere congratulations to your son. Tell him we Rice grads are so happy we got a coveted state title thanks in large part to the linemen. How far a drive is Norbert's from your house? Will u drive to many games? Keep us posted on his progress. Is Norbert's known for good football?

Holy cow. Why play so many tough games? Will we even make the playoffs? Looks to me like like every game except DePaul and Notre Dame are tossups at best. ... Congrats to Marist for somehow beating Benet for the state basketball title. Held Benet's offense to nothing. Marist must have a heckuva coach in bball. Do they have any college prospects? I think Benet has one or two. Benet barely beat the Kleinschmidt's in the semis then again failed to score many pts vs Marist.

The conference sets all but week 1 and 2.

They are playing hyde Park week 2.

New playoff format in IHSA means 3 wins can get you in

MC's schedule is tougher.

Thanks! It’s a 3 hour drive up to De Pere, WI for me so I’m not sure I will go to every game, but I will definitely take my younger son to some of them to watch his older brother. They do stream the games as well. They were good for a long stretch from 1999 to 2018 but not so great recently (.500 team). He mostly chose St. Norbert due to really liking the campus, the major he is interested in, and the scholarship offer he received.

As my son has already yelled at me about — when you are 6’2” and strong, don’t procreate with a 5’3” lady. Look for a 6+ foot volleyball player and produce an NFL player. 🤣

3 easy teams on the schedule now.

Will be interesting to see how the playoffs go with the IHSA adding 128 teams to all of the classes. I agree that 3 wins will now make the playoffs which is a bit of a joke. However, I still think the Catholic League schools will ultimately dominate the playoffs anyways.
