Mount Carmel has been RUNNING the State Finals series the past FOUR seasons..😳🔥
The Caravan don't seem to be losing any steam soon either, as they have several star players that won't be graduating this school year.
Could we see them win FIVE straight? 👀
The real question is where did the public powerhouses go?
Not sure Catholics that got beat for years by Maine South, Wheaton-Warrenville South, Glenbard West, Normal, Bolingbrook, HF, the Napervilles are now the reason they’re struggling.
CCL hasn’t changed. Publics have.

The #IHSA was saddened to hear of the recent passing of Andre Morgan. He was an @IHSAOfficials in four sports, including being a State Final umpire in baseball.
Andre was also very active in the IHSA Wrestling community. Our condolences go out to all of his family and friends.
At one time, players' kids would get to Yankee Stadium early, to hang out before games. On this day, groups of boys were running around the Yankee clubhouse and playing on the field.
But Billy Martin zeroed in on one of them.
Martin sent a security guard into the dugout where a 13-year-old boy and his father – the Yankees star 1st baseman – were hanging out.
"Hey, George Steinbrenner doesn't want anybody in the dugout."
The player complied, sending his son into the clubhouse. As the boy left, his dad motioned for him to "look at third base." It was Graig Nettles' son taking ground balls on the field.
The Yankees star felt insulted.
And his 13-year-old son took it to heart.
This kid held a grudge against the Yankees for the next 30 years.
His name? George Kenneth Griffey Jr.
"Come play for the Yankees, bro!"
"No," Junior shot back. "If the Yankees were the last team – if they were the only team that gave me a contract, I'd retire."
The game of baseball has a way of rewarding strong work ethic, confidence, and heart. It was a blessing to see this in person @whitesox 💪 @WhitesoxAce 🙌
