Wednesday Evening

So far tonight, St Ignatius (boys) had their biggest win in recent years as they shut down Loyola 7-2 at home. Matt Middleton scored three goals, Brian Jucas had two, and Matt Noonan had a strong defensive effort to help the Wolfpack get the win. Meanwhile, the Ignatius girls defeated Loyola in Wilmette 14-5.

Sandburg also beat Oak Park (boys) 18-8 and the Sandburg girls knocked off Waubonsie Valley 16-3. And Mundelein had another amazing defensive effort in smashing New Trier 11-1 at home. And for more news...

Slow updates
There has been a lack of posts here for a day...due to the fact that I sleep about 3 hours a night and have given up Red Bull and other caffeine drinks so I don't have that to fall back on. End result...I woke up an hour and a half late this morning and work is 45 minutes away so that could be a problem. But, instead of rushing, I just sat down and spent 5 quick minutes updating scores so that you, the reader, had all the information by the time you have your morning coffee (I'm jealous of the caffeine) or you're in 1st period class. All ended up well...the site was updated and no one noticed I was gone or that I slipped in the side door (and I have 1st period free so it didn't matter much anyways).

The Illpolo Recap Show
Momentarily, I will be adding a 4-minute recap/highlight show filled with video footage from four games with music, voiceover, etc. The footage you see now is likely to ve streaming video, which means that all you need to do is click on the still-frame picture and it will play as fast as your Internet connection will allow it...no need to download the footage and no need to wait for anything. This is a new feature so obviously there could be a few bugs but it should make for a pretty cool new addition to the site. More to come soon about possible DVD production of this stuff because, as I imagine, there aren't too many water polo highlight shows anywhere in the US or anywhere else.
