Jackson Macdonald struck out 14, walked two and allowed two hits in six shutout innings, plus drove in the first run in Sycamore's 5-0 win over Freeport. It was the second win in as many days for the Spartans, who lost five games to start the year, all ... https://t.co/HSeS4vIuHK

@SteveGuest @kennedyblades MUCH RESPECT!!! She took that like a champ.

Great kid, super tough and hard working.

Here are my most recent metrics from the @PrepBaseballIL Preseason All-States. Committed to improving all these numbers during high school and travel season, plenty more in the tank.

@DanCevette @prepbaseball @BluebookBeede @coachajkings @JMaloneStrength @ButchBaseball29 @JoeyGreany @Wendi_Irlbeck @CoachKurtHines Recruiting isn’t 17v17 anymore, got it. It’s the same for every other sport, not just baseball. Also, teams lose to the portal sometimes. Pick up 4 players, lose 1 or 2, so there is a trade off. Lots of moving parts in a constantly changing environment. Play because you love it.

@DickieV @ChicagoBears @packers @espn I’ve heard far worse from Bobby Knight, Rick Pitino, and many other basketball coaches. What Ben Johnson said is VERY tame for a football locker room.

[Jacob Valdez @IStartMonday]

@barstoolsports @StevenCheah Cheah’s analysis is fair. How are negative plays and garbage time stats calculated/considered when evaluating a QB? CW’s comp% isn’t good but he throws the ball away when in trouble which = less negative plays. Health is MOST important factor, Can’t evaluate anything w/o it.

[Jacob Valdez @IStartMonday]

@_willcompton He has a big arm, elusive, doesn’t give the ball away, not phased in high pressure situations. All great tools that’s helped the Bears get to 11 wins thus far. His teammates believe in him, coach holds him accountable, it’s working.

@taggartkent Bullseye 🎯

@ESPNMilwaukee @espnkylew @KBNESPN It’s the NFL, you got who you got. Bears have only played 3 games with at least 9 starters healthy on Defense and 0 games with all 11 starters. Bears were down receivers. And Willis played better than Love in this game in every way, look at the numbers.

[Jacob Valdez @IStartMonday]

@MRE1821 @BleacherReport @NFL He’s got some skills but Shedeur was simply outmatched/overmatched today.

@therealburns3 When Soldier field was redone the city made them have an equal amount men’s and women’s bathrooms BUT for bears games, the crowd is 90% men. After the first season post refurb, the city allowed them to turn some women’s bathrooms into men’s but it wasn’t enough. Arlington Now.
