Had to catch at least one Holliday tourney hoops game. You know how much we love a big bracket here.

I’m ngl this wasn’t even a play call we was just hoopin

Shot clock era is going to be an absolute nightmare to manage

I still do keep up with basketball scores for my own curiosity, and I just want to get one thing off my chest. There is zero point to beat teams by 60, 70, 80+ points. No college coach is going to look at those inflated stats favorably and you just end up looking like an ass.

My last comment before I’m done for the night… Even when Maine West was torching teams on their way to an undefeated season, their biggest margin of victory was only 55 points. Just something to ponder

Talked to a panel officials today, all agreed a shot clock will be a debacle in high school.

Downstate fans get so weirdly defensive over this every single year. I don’t get it.

I’d argue there are way more media outlets covering preps outside of Chicagoland than in the Chicago area. This whole “Oh we’re so disrespected” narrative is so played out and exhausting. Look at the AP poll year after year, heavily skewed towards downstate teams.

Blake. Peters.

Not sure if this is gonna speed up games or make them longer…I don’t think I buy the injury on rebounds explanation.

Another year of volleyball state playoffs and another year I’m begging the IHSA to change sectional assignments. The Glenbrook North, LWW, Brother Rice, and Oswego sectionals are so unfair compared to Jones and OPRF. Oh, and re-seed once they reach the final 8 while we’re at it

The volleyball state championship match happened yesterday at 10:30am Time to re-seed when you get to the quarterfinals.

Well though we may not cover games anymore, still a fan from afar. Congrats Jeremy Schoenecker on the state title. Coach Schoenecker is one of the most genuinely good individuals I’ve met while reporting and deserves all the success he’s earned this season. Congrats Jeremy!
