Good morning,
Back in August I was a little worried about crowds coming back to high school sports.
Looking around at Lockport on Friday night I remembered that worry and felt silly. There have been great crowds everywhere I have traveled this season, from Cary to Flossmoor to Naperville.
Lately I’ve been thinking about how special the state championship games are going to feel. It’s been so long. This will truly be a unique year to win a title. The football playoff pairings will be released on Saturday night.
As football starts to wind down, basketball begins to ramp up. The basketball Twitter previews got going last week. Coaches and ADs, please email your team info to
mobrien@suntimes.com. Every team that sends info will get a tweet. Thanks.
