Lake View Wildcats Football Team Preview

Playmaker Darius Suggs returns for the Lake View Wildcats

Last Year: 7-2-0 overall; 4-1 and first place in the Intra-City 1 conference.

This year:
Lake View got promoted to the Chicago Second Conference after winning the Intra-City 1 conference last year.

Chicago Second City Conference
Austin
Chicago Academy
Manley
North Lawndale
Lake View
Senn
Sullivan
Uplift


Quick Take:

I admit that after the Lake View started last season with a 54-0 lost to Gordon Tech and a 31-20 loss to Sullivan in conference play, I almost wrote them off. But after that Lake View went on a tear and went undefeated the rest of the season, ending the year on a 5 game winning streak.

Their biggest win was a 34-21 upset of a Brian Carter led Kelvyn Park team. If Lake View had lost that game, they would not have been conference champs and Kelvyn Park would be in the Chicago conference.

Lake View returns some quality players from last year's team.

At the quarterback position will be captain Justin Feulner(sr, 6-2, 170lbs, QB/DE/CB). Feulner accounted for a lot of Lake View's offense last year as he can both throw and run. He is also a multi-sport star at Lake View being on the swim team and an all-city hurdler in track.

The featured back will be Darius Suggs (5'6 150, rb/db,sr). Suggs rushed for 741 yards last year on only 32 carries for the Wildcats last year. He has done well in the off season having been named on the 2012 Schuman's All Combine Team and is a Schuman''s U100 Midwest Camp Invitee.

Also look out for Jordan Miller (6'1 170, jr, wr) and Greg Jenkins (5'11 185, sr, lb).

Conference Outlook:

Lake View opens the season with a non-conference game against Gordon Tech. Lake View looks to perform better than their 50-0 schallacking by Gordon last year. Gordon Tech had a pretty good season last year compared to more recent showings, so we'll see how Lake View does this year.

As for conference play Lake View is up in the tougher Chicago Second City Conference. Familiar Sullivan has been moved up to the same conference. Senn from the Illini conference last year will also be there. This conference has no gimme games. North Lawndale and Austin will be tough.

Lake View has a chance to prove itself again in the Chicago conference. They do not want to be sent down to the Inter-City.

I feel that Lake View has enough returning impact players to not finish last in conference. Winning conference is another strory.

Players to Watch
Justin Fuelner(sr, 6-2, 170lbs, QB/DE/CB)
Darius Suggs (5'6 150, rb/db,sr)
Jordan Miller (6'1 170, jr, wr)
Greg Jenkins (5'11 185, sr, lb)

[fyi]

[Chris Berman]

"He can both throw, and pass." BRILLIANT COMMENTARY!

[Lv]

Dumbass he said throw and run..u blind or high

[Just Plain Sad]

Who loses to Gordon Tech? And by 54? Ahahahahahaha Man please get this school some football players before you spotlight them.

[knowledge]

Not sure if it would have made a difference but Suggs didn't play in that game. He was awaiting clearance by CPS since he was a transfer from St. Patrick.....he was went 17-7 in wrestling....he took 2nd @ Uplift Christman Tournament, 3rd CPS North Regional, 4th IHSA Regional & 1st at this yr Chicago World Wrestling Festival...he wrestled at 132pds

[look out 4]

Do Senn next

[Chris Berman]

He edited it. NOBODY MAKES A FOOL OF THE GREAT CHRIS BERMAN......except Chris Berman.

[zzz]

Senn lost to lane by 50 pts in the extra game

[will]

True but the coach gave up on them and their qb quit at the half and they had to put their starting fs who never played qb befor at qb so yea....

[Scrubs]

Their qb didn't quit, he got his shit rocked and had the paint knocked off his helmet

[truth]

Suggs is a bum and dude played runningback at 135 or so cuz thats what he wrestled right, that dont run in real competition, lol funny how these kids like Carter or Suggs get more fame than the school itself lol

[knowledge]

Truth, I'm going to give you a little truth. Suggs wrestles at 135, his FOOTBALL weight is currently 150 lbs with 2% body fat. How bout this, you come wrestle him or play him in football.....He will beat your ass, better yet come to Lane Tech Football stadium on August 25th and see what he can do....done talking to a nothing that knows nothing!

[...]

the Senn line were so scared to hit

[#true]

everybody on the line quit when coach bey quit ....... so they were ither new to football or had no experience ..... this year the line has more experience and got bigger and stronger

[.understand]

Suggs will meet his match he playing against hitter , last year he was playing with baby's.. Austin And NLCP. got hitter.. be on the look out.. they both got Lb 230, with D1 skills

[still got love for yea coach #24]

@#true thats not correct coach bey set senn up to continue to win,by having coach leonard stay and take over the program. the principal told leonard he was the new hc when she fired bey,she messed that up by not keep leonard.and the kids quit when they realized the new coaches were dumb

[knowledge]

@understand its a good thing Suggs plays corner also cause he hits back and hits back HARD, you should check him out on video available on-line playing defense, this kid wont go down easy

[Rociola]

Ummm, that is called interference with contract. You can be sued for this.

Anyway, Roc is cool. And if somebody is writing about him like this then he must be really good. Success breeds jealousy and that is what I see here.

[Disrespectful]

Neil, the bashing of Rociola is uncalled for. I know Rock, and he is a stand up guy. If he is out at Sullivan and at Lake View, well Lake View has a great coach and teacher.Neil this site has become a bashing site upon good coaches whom work hard. This site has become a bashing site for Prosser, Coach Walsh, Coach Rock, Coach Rodgers, and any other football coach whom has had any success. Budget cuts are occuring at every school. To have a job is lucky these days as the line of displaced teachers grows.

[That's Business law not Labor law]

That's business law. not labor law. get your facts straight.

Tortious interference with business relationships occurs where the tortfeasor acts to prevent the plaintiff from successfully establishing or maintaining business relationships. This tort may occur when a first party's conduct intentionally causes a second party not to enter into a business relationship with a third party that otherwise would probably have occurred. Such conduct is termed tortious interference with prospective business relations, expectations, or advantage or with prospective economic advantage.

[Fairness to More Qualified Applicants]

"Anyway, Roc is cool. And if somebody is writing about him like this then he must be really good. Success breeds jealousy and that is what I see here."

It's not about this at all. The deal here is this guy isn't qualified, others are, and this guy contunes to leap frog more qualified candidates probably because he knows someone. That's the deal, especially with guys putting their time in at real shitty south and west side schools and they have more experience and better qualifications.

[call HR]

EVERY PE teacher needs a WSI even if they teach in ES/MS..check your info.... call HR, I did.

Also, there's no such thing as just a PE teacher anymore. One needs to have their Health endorsement too! check it out, call HR, I did.

HR aka Talent Office

Phone: (773) 553-HR4U
Fax: (773) 553- 6665

[PE dude]

Call the Talent Office and ask them to send you the job description and where it states that in writting. I guarantee you they won`t be able to produce it. They do not know what they are talking about. The office has more than doubled since JCB took over and many of the staff their really do not know what they are talking about. Principals know more about what teachers need in terms of certification because they are the ones who usually interview and hire. The Talent Office only pushes the paperwork and adeverises the opening. If you want real answers contact the ISBE. They will answer any question about certification and qualifications. If you ever truly dealt with cps and downtown then you will know half the time you are lucky to get an answer let alone it be entirely true. The turnover downtown is worse than teacher turnover!

[real talk]

@ Say No to Rociola

Really! This is what you spend your time on talking about Rico? I don't know him and I don't give a damn about him. Your issue is not Rico, your issue is with the system. If Rico is able to get a job and don't do nothing; good for him. Get mad at the city of Chicago, how they run things. Nepotism is the way of life in Chicago and Illinois. Get over it unless you going to make changes.

[crabs in a barrell]

Some people are only happy when others are miserable, its the crabs in a barrell concept. If one person gets to close to success someone has to take him down.

[Give me a break]

Dumb asses. Roc is still at Sullivan.

[Give Me A Break Part II]

Dumb Ass, your the guy that keeps coming at coach! Last year, saying how sh-tty we were going to be, etc in football. Coach Roc continues to prove you all wrong now doesn't he? Quit spreading the rumors and if you want to ask Coach or see how sh-tty we are in football, come on out to our practice.

[Mr. Elmwood Park]

@crabs in a barrell

You spelled barrel wrong doofus..see, that's the thing you'e an idiot. You use people, gossip about them, manipulate and lie, and don't do the necessary coursework. Now, when the tables are turned it's a matter of you being singled out or people are jealous(?) of you.

It's great that you've started your Drivers Ed coursework, but, once again you're being a doofus has cost you. The DE endorsement now requires (24) hours not (9) anymore.

And, when the hell are you going to finish your Health Education coursework in 2016?

Go back to the things you do best...screwing married women into getting divorces, getting women knocked up that don't want to marry you, biting the hand that feeds you, and doing lines off your Trans Am after booze isn't enough for you anymore.

Good Luck paying off your new condo Mr. Elmwood park.

[Ms. Elmwood Park]

Word is...Nancy Bongiorno is still married to James Randall! After she "bribed" her Seniors this past year "VOTE ME SPEAKER OR FAIL!"

[toothpaste]

The big question is..has she brushed her teeth yet?

[Ms. Elmwood Park]

The Raul's retirment party, a friend from the past came to visit. Mr. Mark Wollschlaeger. As Sallas said aloud," I wonder whom she is going home with? "

[A Neutral Coach View...]

Roc is at Sullivan. And if he is at Lake View, than congrats to the Students and Athletic programs of Lake View. I have known Roc for years now. Whom ever this is smearing Coach Roc, you obviously don't know him at all. I once wrote, I tried even to hire him. I still would today! He is a Student of the Game, a good coach and teacher.

[A Neutral Coach View...]

One Last Thing... all this about him doing drugs, booze, woman? Not sure where you get these untrue aqusations.... Are you speaking about Bates at Prosser?

As a Coach and Teacher, Roc works hard, hell, he refuses to be out coached! So, if you want to smear him, please, get a life!

[boo to you too!]

you'e just as bad as him then.

[@ A Neutral Coach View...]

@ A Neutral Coach View...

FYI: This is a FACT

Nancy Bongiorno, a Prosser World Studies teacher, was still married to Jim Randall when she had a a baby out of wedlock with your great Roc (Prosser PE teacher then) in Novemeber, 2008. And, the word from above is Bongiorno is still married to Randall.

[priceless]

I love the steps in getting an endorsement, priceless. especially step #7

[morray]

[just F.E.E]

Get off sullivans and north lawdales Dick , lv clinches playoff spot finishes second in confrence , first time in 16 years . Just F.E.E

[smi]

The bottom line is this team is doing pretty good. They're beating out all these teams who are "ranked" higher than them and get more publicity than them and neilski still hasn't mentioned Danny Warmowski which is one of the best players on the team.

[A CPS fan of WY]

LV deserves a pat on the back for a good season and some great teamwork. I hope they stick to city, they can have some fun there and learn. They are not ready for state.
