The Locker Room: prep football: June 2008 Archives

prep football: June 2008 Archives

Expectations in The Locker Room are for 8-3 this year -- that's 7-2 regular season, plus a first-ever playoff win.
We really need to get ball rolling on raising money to bring in portable lights so we can play that first-round playoff game at home on a Friday night. Entire city would be there.Friday of Round 1 of playoffs is Halloween. That would be a-w-e-s-o-m-e.

Anyway, Waukegan has TWO NCAA Division I-calibre receivers: No. 83 is Denzell Ray, who started last year. No. 80 is Mar'Quon Edmonds, brother of the QB. Both catch E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G. Both are B-I-G and basically not coverable.

In The Locker Room, we are thinking "aerial circus" as the FUN returns to Weiss Field.
Now, if we can get those portable lights ordered ...

In The Locker Room, we are snappin' wet towels at each other in glee.

After how many years, somone else has finally hopped on the Waukegan High bandwagon!!

The Bulldogs are going to be very good this year, dip a tad next year, then go on a two-year role that will leave Maine South drooling with envy.

With Bob Stone now at the wheel at Mundelein High for the departed Dave Whitson, and John Coursey now in charge at Round Lake High for the departed Doug Moss, every area prep football team currently has a head coach.
But for how long.
In The Locker Room, whispers suggest one more coaching shoe may be about to drop ... and this one will have nothing to do with the team having a mediocre won-loss record.
Stay tuned.
