Benet could have shared ESCC title

Nothing against a win on Senior Night, which the Benet boys volleyball team got on Tuesday against Nazareth, but the Redwings could have been celebrating a share of the East Suburban Catholic Conference crown and not their final home game.

If only the Redwings (23-11, 7-2 ESCC) could have back their loss at Joliet Catholic on April 22. Their loss to Mundelein two days later was understandble, not for how Benet played that night, which was best described as horrible, but because Carmel is a solid team.

But thanks to that ugly two-game loss at JCA, Marist won the ESCC with an 8-1 record. That one loss came thanks to Benet.

So as Benet coach Amy Van Eeckeren told The Heat Index on Wendesday night, the Redwings could have won the title, "If we hadn't been stupid."

I wouldn't have been that harsh, but I'm not going to argue with a pregnant woman.
