    This is what track practice looks like in CPS. Remarkable what city kids accomplish without adequate facilities.

    Regions 8, 9 move to Phase 4. That means all Chicago area schools can now play all sports. It’s a good day.

    I got the call today that no one wants. Was laid off from my full-time employer, the Times of NWI. Will continue to do freelance work for the Sun-Times and looking to pick up whatever else is available. DMs are open, so please hit me up with any opportunities.

    You watch Loyola and wonder how it’s possible that DePaul has been so bad for so long. Amazing what the right coach can do.

    RIP Efrem Winters, a CPS legend at King and one of the greatest players in Illini history.

    I’ve covered more than 30 high school games this season, and none of them have had the kind of coaching malpractice we see from the Bears on a regular basis.

    It feels strange not to be in Charleston today. State track is a long (and sometimes ridiculously hot) weekend. But it’s always filled with “WOW, did that just happen?!” moments. Feel so bad for the athletes missing out. Here’s to resuming the tradition in ‘21.
