I'll be the first to voice a thought for change, but I'll also be the first to praise.
And that's something the Public League deserves for Thursday night's title game at North Park University in Chicago.
The game between Payton and Young was on a quality field under the lights, which allowed a good crowd to turnout to watch Young's 1-0 shootout victory. Public League sports adminstration leaders Calvin Davis and Juan Espinoza did a nice job with the awards after the match, and the Public League coaches association came through big as it always does.
I've always been impressed with what North Park has done with a tiny little space, finding a home for a baseball, softball, football and soccer field on the same piece of land. Maybe that's something the Public League should look into and create a "Public League sports complex."

Joe:
I saw your last rankings and although I respect what St. Ignatius has accomplished record wise, are they deserving of a top 10 ranking? Who might be deserving? There is a team who has played all but one of the top 6 ranked teams. They lost a well played match to Waubonsie Valley (2-0); tied Wheaton North; outplayed but lost to WWS 2 to 1; lost to NC 1-0 in a game cancelled after the first half (outshot the team 8-1 at that point); lost to New Trier in sudden death kicks. This team also beat St. Charles East, and Linclon Way Central. Who is this team? Geneva HS. They may be one of the more dangerous teams entering the playoffs. Thanks for the great job you do covering girls soccer.
TROST RESPONDS: I have been paying attention to Geneva - they are always solid. I will say this - there is Waubonsie Valley and then about 20 other teams...flip a coin.
