That is a reference to the Elgin Maroons, who will be the next team that Zion-Benton flattens en route to winning the IHSA Class 4A state title next week.
Apparently, way, way, way back in the day, the school took its nickname from the school color, which means, of course, that there will be a lot of maroon in the NIU arena on Tuesday.
Half those maroon-clad fans are going to be going home very sad.
In the Locker Room, we know which group that's going to be ... the group taking the tollway home from NIU in DeKalb toward Elgin
Darn it, Bonato, are you TRYING to jinx the Bees? If so, you obviously believe in the old adage "If at first you don't succeed, try, try again".
okay but who went home maroons or you
