Best High School Baseball Team Ever in Illinois History

Another South Suburban guy who thinks there is no good baseball north of Tinley Park.

Were Cliff Floyd and Mark Mulder both on that Thornwood team?

As far as teams go, last year's Wilmington team had a good run for multiple seasons.

Everyone knows which team gets my vote. Edwardsville 40-0. They were selected by Collegiate Magazine as the #1 team in the USA. The same team wins the National Title in American Legion.

I saw that Edwardsville Team up close and personal.....I agree with Coach

FastballDad, I've always appreciated your kind words about that team. We could all make an argument for our teams. One team left off of the poll but prominent in the State Records for the State Championship series is the 1990 Edwardsville Team. An example would be earned runs allowed at state = 1. Walks allowed = 2. Most of those team members returned and were a part of that amazing 64 wins in a row which is also a state record. Naturally, Cliff Floyd has something to say about that in 1991.

Coach, our Barrington Team was dismantled by Lockport in the semis last spring and it was a very good team to say the least. While our '98 Team also lost in the semis and didn't get the chance to see E-Ville in the finals I did watch and see what they did in Geneva...no one was even close. And that was an excellent field in '98.....I think a bit better than this past season.

We did have a game or two against you guys in Legion and they were epic battles and no matter how we played we just couldn't beat Edwardsville. But then again no one could.

How about the 2003 Lyons team. They had some unbelievable talent. Baughman, Davis, Bolt, both Brewers..They had sick pitching and hit 55-60 HR's during the year. Quite impressive.

I didn't get to see that 98 Edwardsville team. We were still a small school then but I sure have heard about them and what they could do. Since we went AA and now play Edwardsville on our schedule and ended up meeting them in the Regional final 2 years in a row.....I have come to appreciate their program. They are the only Southwestern Confereence team we haven't beaten. That 98 team must have really ben good.

85 BENGALS- Set records in MANY categories
2006 OF Bengals State Champs.. line up with a ton of seniors, and some stud juniors. Word from some freinds down south that Norkus and Maziur singed letters of intent to Kentucky, and Texas Christian anyone know anything about it? I also heard they have a new transfer pitcher/infielder from Minooka who is pretty darn good.

i dont know much about many of the teams on your list but when a team goes 40-0 they have to be my top team no matter what comes into consideration because going undefeated is pretty big task to accomplish.

SoxFan- my information was through a good family freind of mine.. he lives in the Midlothian area and his son plays ball at Bremen HS.

Maziur has been down there in the last month or so on a visit. I am not sure if he actually signed a letter of intent. Norkus , I am not sure about. Coach Czar?? know anything...?
