Ricks Honeymoon

At break we were discussing where the newly engaged Rick Camp will go on his honeymoon. Any suggestions....His finance texted him Saint Lucia? No idea where that is. I told him to go somewhere warm and sunny...How bout Hawaii? Mexico? Jamaica? Gotta spend that paper to have fun

Week 4 Friday Night Lights

Got some great games on the deck tonight for Week 4 of Friday Night Lights. Tune into sportstownchicago.com for the shows and the broadcast for the game of the week...Wheaton North @ Glenbard North. We also have stringers at the Proviso West vs York and Joliet Catholic vs Carmel so it will definitely be an exciting night for high school football. Join us for coverage starting at 5pm

Carmel Victorious

Carmel defeats St. Viator 39-0. The running game and suffocating defense was too much for a wounded St. Viator team. Carmel suffers their first defeat of the season and the #8 team in the state is 3-0.

Halftime

At the half....

Marist 17
Notre Dame 9

Glenbard North 10
Naperville North 3

Carmel 33
St. Viator 0

Lots of opportunities missed by Notre Dame in the 1st half, but the RB for Marist Skalinski is out with an injury so it will be an interesting 2nd half. Keep it tuned to sportstownchicago.com!

Final Score Glenbard West @ Downers Grove South

Glenbard West holds on for a 21-16 victory over Downers Grove South. Downers Grove South was driving down the field late, when Glenbard West picked off Simon with a little over 30 seconds left. It was a closer game than what we thought in the studio. Let us know what you think and leave us a comment or call the studio at 630-403-5200.

at 5pm. Listen in to win your Fox and Hound Gift Cards and Toyota Park's
Southside Oktoberfest tickets on SportsTownChicago.com and take our
...poll as to who will win tonight's match up.

-STC STAFF

Finally some disagreement

Yes!!!!! Finally we disagree on who's going to win a game of course I Chris LoBosco was the only one who disagreed. Don't let me down Glenbard North!!!!

Too Much Agreeing

So far all of us in studio have agreed on who's going to win each game.. What is going on here!?? Hopefully this trend will stop the next game should be a tough one to pick. Glenbard North vs. Oak Park River Forest both are top 25 teams.

Feels Good to be back

First predictions for the year already done I all three of us here in the studio thought Plainfield Central will win a close one over Lyons Township... I wonder how wrong we will be or if we will be right...

WE'RE BACK!

This Friday is the highly anticipated RETURN of Friday Night Lights....

Make sure you tune in to the PRE-GAME show starting at 5pm on SportsTownChicago.com...
