This fenwick game is nuts. We've gotten really good since I graduated. ESL has the talent but it's looking like it might not be enough.
The Flyers are always so talented but make so many mistakes in these big games.
Also get Jake Thies on the roster. Helluva football player.

Thanks
Absolutely the type of kid you’d bet on.
Jake and Tommy are both very good players. For awhile Jake’s main sport was basketball
The Theis kids were impressive, and so much for the public vs private school argument, privates have really started to take it to the next level across the board.
Eastside probably wins that game 9/10 times. Fenwick wasn’t scared and didn’t back down to them and found a way to win. LWE should take notes. They talked trash to Mt Carmel all week on IG and TikTok then played scared
Agree on LWE, they thought they were going to beat MC and were talking LOTS of smack, then just rolled over once the game started.
They actually could have competed and even won, but if you’re going to poke a bear, you better be ready to bring it - and they were not. I was bummed, but after I heard all the smack they were talking, I wasn’t as surprised at the result.
And ESL, they have some talent but played undisciplined football, and looked like they weren’t ready to play, or didn’t know how to handle a team that wasn’t scared after giving up some big plays and getting smacked early.
Not taking anything away from Fenwick (my nephews go there), they played a great game and didn’t back down after getting punched in the mouth - unlike my LWE team.
Eastside has 14 players with d1 offers. Fenwick might have 3 kids that play d1. I know most of the kids on Fenwick so I’m happy they won but I definitely didn’t see this coming. I’m sure ESL looked past them like everyone else was. Most people thought it would be a running clock by half
Actually Fenwick was talking some trash before the game to. The difference is Fenwick backed it up. If you ever saw how Scott Thies played you wouldn’t be surprised that his sons are absolute dogs.
The Theis kids were beasts, i wasn’t expecting that level of play from them. They have great coaching too - ESL is super undisciplined and their special teams play was shockingly awful, so was their QB play.
Jake used to play for meanstreets AAU. Very good player. Just very tough kids
The kind of in-state kids we need more of, does anyone know if the staff is giving either of them a serious look?
Tommy signed with Miami university today. He will be a very good mac player. At the very least I thought he could’ve been a special teams demon for us
