I just read all the posts in this thread and I would like you guys to all know that DevilMan isn't on the team...or atleast I don't think so. Either way, I am on the team and I can speak for our team when I say (similar to Sweaty's post) that we have a lot of respect for your team and can't wait to get it going in April. We all mark our calendars for the LT series, just as I am sure you guys do for ours (or so I hope). Unfortunately, we have to play the doubleheader at your place this year ... no food or drink, but whatever. I'm excited and I really think you guys are going to be surprised by the progress of our pitching staff. Kurash is sick and Ourada looks like an ace. See you in April.
Also, DevilMan... if you are on the team...who are you?
Yeah, I think LT doesn't have many shabby pitchers either. 
Red Devil Bombskis.....
I appreciate your recent post, and in the manner to which you made your comments. Classy! DevilMan is a dad, not a player!! He knows to many things about LT that the players wouldn't respectfully comment about.
As for the "no food and drink", your absolutely right, we as a baseball program don't rate the usage of our $500,000.00 concession facility. It seems that football, lacrosse, s****r and track seem to win-out over baseball. Something to do with the amount of fans at games, or someother B.S. reason.
The series with our two schools has always been filled with anxiety and excitement. We have the same when we play OPRF. Great baseball on both accounts.
P.S.
I don't think we have any raccoons to worry about, just lots and lots of dust.

Here is something for the Devil Bulletin Board courtesy of the LT coach:
"Oak Park will be stacked again and Glenbard West has some real good pitching," Ushela said. "Hinsdale Central and Downers Grove North should both be OK, and York has a new coach, so you don't know what to expect there."

Atleast he knows what he's talking about...
ok coach. appreciate the respect... oh wait HC didn't beat you last year or smoke you 13-3 this summer (against Corcaran) did they? oops. must have forgotten. I think's it is fair to say that we will be some tough competition. a little better than ok.
Boomer,
You may not like DevilMan, but you can't rip on their field. It is by far the nicest field in the West Suburban Gold/Silver. Rip on him but please don't rip on my favorite place to play while I was in high school.

Weaver, how is college baseball?
Corky,
Its going pretty well. Hitting pretty well and pitching well. I recently hit 88 on the Stalker Sport so that was exciting as well. Thanks for asking. How is your son doing this year?

88 MPH that is terrific! Keep having fun.
Kyle is working with your old Coach. He is a tall fellow!
How is your little bro doing?

Yeah...Coach Cabaj is one tall man. Jonathan is doing well...he piched 3 innings against Maine West and had 3 Ks with no walks and gave up one hit as a Soph on varsity. Im proud of him. Theres also a nice article about him here

Remember a couple of years ago, you tied with us for the conference championship? You had those t-shirts made-up that said, "Conference Champions"!!! I tought you had to win conference outright to claim that title! Maybe not, but it just about fits for you Hinsdale types. Wanting to claim something you couldn't win alone.

DevilMan you must have been beat pretty bad in your life by LT.You should seek help for this.Looking forward to the HC LT games hope to meet you.the shirts were made, seen them myself.Boomer I think you hit a nerve.
Gentlemen,
Let's try and lower the rhetoric here. We know that the NC and LT rivalry is intense, but let the players decide the outcome on the field and let's stop the personal attacks. No one wants to be in MnMom's doghouse. LOL

Corky and Boomer,
It was great seeing you guys again.
That 7th inning was a tough carousel.
As always LT will bounce back and congratulations to Naperville Central for never giving up.
After your game I went to the Minooka - Joilet Catholic game, now that was a merry go round. There was so much hitting and scoring. The third base coaches were getting winded from waving everyone in.
Joe Benson hit a ball that I thought was going to knock the fence down. Cerven looked nice at the plate and Trepel from Minooka hit a Home Run. Have you guys seen Joe Benson with the catchers gear on... It looks like the Hulk wearing little league gear.
Today was a terrific day... Great weather, lots of Baseball, kids having fun and being with good people.

Hey LT, keep pluggin’. You’re a talented classy group. A rough start doesn’t make a season. It’s not how you start but how you finish. Last year OPRF got off to a rocky beginning and ended up in the Elite Eight. Hang tuff and work through it! Best of luck!
You were right LT is a good group of kids and they did bounce back versus Glenbard West. LT won 8-4 in extra innings and 2-0 in the second game. Glenbard has a nice group of kids on there team as well. Those were 2 tought fought , never give up games.
34/33.....Smokey.....
Thanks for the comments!
Like "sweaty" said, we have a great group of kids. Like our coach says, we have a target on our backs from our success in recent years. Everyone wants to knock-off LT. You should have seen how happy Marist and Naperville Central were we they won!!!!
Personally, we haven't been hitting like we are capable of doing. But, we have a junior, Grant Filipitch and our senior first baseman, Mike Bellisario who are both batting over .500.
Yesterdays games against Glenbard West were great to watch, cold weather, but good baseball.

What happened with the Nap. Central W over LT?
You can call the Naperville police dept. to find out the results of that one. It was and still is a CRIME what happened in that game. Somebody needs to step up and admit they blew it but, that won't happen. It is a team game and No one kid has to take the blame. The whole team needed to make each other accountable for that game. And if you read previous posts, they did bounce back very nicely against a very good GBW team with two hard fought victories.
Ya only if hoffman was scheduled to play against LT that would be a good game considering their victory against N. Central 2-0. N. Cenral is a very solid team that makes very few errors. A few hits one the game for hoffman.
NC did nothing to win the game. They simply sat in the batter's box and got hit by pitches batter after batter. I think there may have been only 2 hits in the last 7- run inning.
Michael Bellisario is a great kid. He is smart, polite, and always pleasant. He is also a terrific athlete. I'm pleased to see that his name was mentioned on this board. I hope he continues to be successful.
Never seen a kid hit like Fillipitch, has Like 6 doubles in 2 game's all shot's. He so far is the best hitter in the state! I think he is 9 for 16
