that's so crazy how some teams just got destroyed on Saturday 
like u can feel for them but at same time some teams are on fire 
and it's amazing to see them putting on a show like Amundsen did 
they really dominated their game 
what's most impressive is the resilience of teams that came up short like Hope Academy, they didn't give up and still managed to win 
. Just got the highlights from Saturday's games and I've seen some pretty one-sided scores already. Like what's up with Amundsen's 69-37 win? Is their team that good or was Uplift just having a rough day?
. And don't even get me started on Naperville North's 33-point win over Evergreen Park... that's just not fair 
.
amundsen's offense is ON FIRE 
meanwhile, naperville north is looking super strong 
hope academy's winning streak is going to be hard to stop 
can't wait to see what the rest of the season brings 
like amundsen's offense is nuts 69-37 is insane what was going through their coach's mind 
and brother rice's win in 2 ovtimes? that's just wild 
Uplift got destroyed lol 
and Rockford Boylan's 74-68 win over North Chicago gave me life 
, it just shows that with hard work and dedication, you can achieve greatness 
! It's moments like those that remind us to never give up on our dreams 
. And let's not forget about Hope Academy's winning streak 
- they're definitely showing the world what's possible with teamwork and determination 
I mean, where's the competition? Where are the underdogs that can actually pull off a win against these top-notch teams? It feels like every game is just a cakewalk for everyone except maybe Rockford Boylan. And even they got helped out by North Chicago struggling 
. Amundsen's offense is just too powerful, Brother Rice always seems to find ways to win in OT... it's like they're not even trying to lose anymore. Where's the strategy? The skill? The heart? It all feels so... formulaic 
.
, while Geneva and Belvidere North went head-to-head in a real nail-biter 
. Brother Rice and Oswego had to go two overtimes to settle their score 
, talk about intensity!
.
. Hope Academy's winning streak is inspiring 
i love how morgan park took down rockford jefferson 66-52 tho. and naperville north just destroyed evergreen park by 33 points 
. And Geneva put up a great fight against Belvidere North, but honestly, can't they just win already? 
️, but have they got what it takes when things get tough?
. And Rockford Boylan's win over North Chicago is so satisfying! 
. not surprised though, those top-ranked teams have been dominating all season. but hey, it's always fun to see the underdogs give a good fight. think Amundsen's offense is gonna be a game-changer - they're basically unstoppable right now 
. But at the same time, it's awesome to see underdogs like Rockford Boylan taking down stronger opponents 
!
But hey, at least it was a convincing win for them.
.
