@@mitrickroth628 congratulations you beat a public school with half the enrollment. Rochester has 8 titles in the last 10 years, argue their dominance. Loyola is an unbelievable program no doubt about it but it’s like comparing heavyweights vs wealthier weight. Good luck to the Ramblers in the playoffs this year

[@mitrickroth628]

Tell you’re little 4A guys not to dance on the opposing teams logo before they get rolled. Just poking the bear.

[@mitrickroth628]

Also, you stated if they were 8A they would be #1. By your own admission, they would get trounced in 8A every year. Your words guy. The Rockets are classless. LA could have put 100 on them but Holacek is a class act.

[@patricksullivan2322]

@@mitrickroth628 all I’m saying is if Rochester had an enrollment of 2000 kids they absolutely would be able to hang with anyone in the state as is they have 700 kids and play the cards they’re dealt. They planted the flag and I can’t defend that. Joliet catholic is 4a Montini is 3a this year. I guess those programs are trash too GOD BLESS YOU AND YOURS

[@kanesjigs]

My exact thought

[@mikeydix1999]

Stillman Valley ‘09-‘10 teams. Class of ‘10 didn’t lose a game all through middle school & all through high school until their very last game in 2010 against Illini west losing the state championship 22-20. Not to mention on a blown call on the 2 point attempt where the runners knee was down before breaking the plain that gave Illini West the W. Dudes went 45-1 in high school.

Ain’t no way Rockford Boylan is not on this list lol 2 state championships this decade in two different classes 7A/6A not to mention they went like 74-0 in their conference, they literally beat 3 of the teams that you have in this video everytime they played them ( prairie ridge, Cary grove , and beat wheaton warrenville in the state championship )

[@ethanbrown1711]

The last time boylan played Prairie ridge or Cary-Grove was in 2013. Records from what will be coming up on 8 years ago shouldn't be relied on as much as current records. Boylan has only been able to get to the semi finals in the last 5 years as to where Cary won a state championship in 2018, and Prairie Ridge won back to back championships in 2016 and 2017, and was the runner up in 2019. I'm sorry that your mad that your Catholic school got beat out by a couple of public schools, but it seems clear to me that Cary and Prairie both have objectively better programs (In the modern day) than boylan. I can't speak on behalf of Weaton but I'm sure it's a similar story.

[@johnbishop8109]

What about southern Illinois schools? Du quoin Indians. Two state titles(88,92) four runner ups(94,95,02,08). And countless top 25 seasons. Don't forget about southern Illinois. We exist!

[@mitrickroth628]

This I agree with

[@mikebarlow214]

I must correct my previous post regarding Ken Leonard's win total. Due to adding one of the season totals twice, I added eight wins to his total incorrectly. Coach Leonard earned win #400 this past Friday night (Oct. 15, 2021). Congratulations again to Ken Leonard, and thanks to all who played a part in helping him reach this milestone! The original post has since been corrected.
