True. Impressive to make the final in bball then a few months later football. The school has some talented athletes and Stamos like Q was a great coach.

More good news for BR, @greg775.  You’re looking at the future BR QB — Sam Holcomb, class of 2030.  His dad was JJ McCarthy’s former private QB coach.  He currently plays for the Downers Grove Panthers and already received an offer from Michigan last year.  Coach Q lives in Hinsdale so it’s a short drive to recruit some DG Panthers.  He didn’t nab Owen Lansu but he got this kid.  Q doing the work…

I hope Sam can run as well as pass. Pass happy teams don't normally win in high school. Just sayin. Will be fun to watch him. After this title I will just enjoy the games. We are vindicated by this team as a modern powerhouse. Rice got the title; any more is gravy.

They should be better next year and if the players they have in the pipeline stay the future for them is bright.  The portal in high school is real.

Oh my gosh. Better next year? I wonder if we'll stay in 7A.

MC is 8A.  Marist I am not certain of as they didn't win a playoff game this year and that factors into things.   Marist is rebuilding and your Crusader victory has them on edge. 

St. Laurence seems like they are on the fringes as well. They seem to have improved but are not quite good enough to make a deep run. I wonder who will dominate basketball this year. I read Rice lost all five starters but have one stud at least. I would rank the far south side football programs now: 1.) BR. 2.) Marist. 3.) Rita. 4.) Laurence. Marist and Rice still seem fairly equal in the big scheme, unless coach Q really is dominating recruiting and turning Rice into perennial contender mabe.
