Former Bogan Star Emmanuel Bibbs Committs to Iowa State

Hudl photo

Former Bogan star Emmanuel Bibbs(6-3,245lbs, TE)(Bogan class of 2010) made a verbal comittment to play for the Iowa State Cyclones. Bibbs originally comitted to Iowa in 2010, but did not end up enrolling at Iowa. Instead he played junior college football at Arizona Community College in Yuma, AZ. There he made a big impact enough to where several schools made him an offer including Texas Tech and Arkansas from the SEC.

I got a chance to watch Bibbs in a game while he was at Bogan. In the game I watched him he had great athlethic ability and really uses his big body at 6-2, 215lbs to jump after balls thrown to him. He has since bulked up to 6-3, 245lbs.

Good luck to Bibbs.

CPS Boys Basketball Quarterfinals

Orr 62 Foreman 60 (OT)
Foreman gave state ranked Orr all it could handle before falling 62-60 in OT. This was a game that Foreman should have won. With 2 minutes and 38 seconds left in the 4th quarter Foreman had a 58-52 lead. But the rest of the 4th quarter and overtime they were only able to muster 2 more points. The Orr defense had something to do with that as Foreman shot only 2 for 10 in the 4th quarter and overtime.

Bogan 71 Taft 41
Taft led 13-10 in the first quarter, but after that it was all Bogan. Bogan then went on 22-3 run to give Bogan an unsurpassable 32-13 lead in the 2nd quarter. Freshman Luwane Pipkins drained 3 consecutive 3 pointers for Bogan in that key 2nd quarter.

Week 3 Thursday

Lane vs Bogan - These are two programs desparate for a win as both enter 0-2 after both played tough suburban/down state teams in the first two games. Lane has won the the last two meetings between the two teams (2008 and 2010). In last years game, Lane won an ugly 33-24 game. I feel the key for this game is Bogan cutting down on its mistakes. Bogan has the athletes and may be a step faster than Lane, they just gotta cut down on turnovers and penalties. I feel Lane can stop the Bogan running game. The only question is will they have enough offense of their own? Bogan averaged only 6 points in its first two games. Lane has not fared better averaging only 9.5. The loser of this game could be facing a dreadful season as conference play opens next week and the two are picked last or near last in pre-season conference rankings. I like Lane by 3 in this game.

Thursday Game Results

Taft 27 Prosser 12- down 12-0, Taft stormed back to win. The victory puts Taft in the state playoffs for the second year in a row. Taft needed to win this game or else Clemente would have finished in 2nd and the final spot.

Lane 28 Marshall 0 - Marshall has maybe 20 players on it's roster. Lane should have won by at least 40. This was a Marshall victory. Mercifully, Lane ends a forgettable season.

CPS playoffs

Simeon 48 Brooks 14 - Simeon scored on it's first 6 posessions and rolled from there. Next for Simeon is the much anticipated first round playoff matchup. We will find out who they play on selection Saturday.

Hubbard 22 Raby 0 - Hubbard led only 7-0 at halftime, but got offense clicking in third quarter. Raby had 7 players academically inelgible for this game. With a 4-5 record, Raby does not qualify for state playoffs. Meanwhile, Hubbard is looking to advance deep in the state playoffs.

Robeson 56 Bogan 18 - Robeson played starters for only a half. Still scored 56 points. How good are these guys?! I can't wait to see who Robeson plays in the first round of the state playoffs.

Lane Tech 33 Bogan 24

By Patrick Boylan from our friends from the Wells Park Bulldog

Lane comes from behind to take Bogan 33-24

Lane Tech lost an early lead to Bogan High School, but came from behind to take a 33-24 win Friday night at Lane Stadium.

Lane scored first in the non-conference game, picking up a bad Bogan punt to position itself on the Bogan 12 yard line. Frederick Williams scored a touchdown on the next play.

Williams, with 20 yards, and Ro Bonner, 15 yards, led a 63 yard drive early in the second quarter to give Lane a 14-0 lead on the Bogan Bengals.

Bogan came back however, recovering a Lane fumble. Then behind Russell Williams and Omar McCormick, who each ran 23 yards in the drive, driving 41 yards. A Denzel Nelson interception put Bogan into the lead 16-14.

Lane came back, behind a 41 yard return by Bonner, a 20 yard run by Williams and a 12 yard run by Teslim Salami in a four play, 51 yard drive to take the lead back, 20-16.

The wild half was not yet done, however, as a Bengal return set the team up on the Lane 42 yard line. A five play drive put Bogan ahead 24-20 at the half.

A fourth quarter interception by Lane resulted in a 36 yard touchdown return, giving Lane a 27-24 lead. Bogan turned over the ball on downs, each team having three turnovers on downs, and Lane was able to put together a final 37 yard drive for a 33-24 score with just 1:35 remaining in the game.

While the Bogan team gathered on the field and had a recrimination over the loss, with the Bogan head coach promising sprints, Lane celebrated.

“I’m sure we rushed for a lot of yards,” Head Coach Fred Proesel told the Bulldog. Proesel said the team would be working on cutting fumbles, noting disappointment in the four Indian fumbles during the match.

“It wasn’t a must-win, but we definitely needed to gain momentum,” Bengal Head Coach Sam Jones told the Bulldog. “We’re trying to get these guys to come together.”

Bogan is now 0-3 in the Illini Prairie State Conference. Lane improved to 2-1 overall. It faces Curie (1-2) in a big home conference game Friday, 7P, at Lane Stadium.

Week 3 Friday Breakdown

Hubbard 29, Kankakee 16 - Morgan Park and Hubbard is getting all the pub, but lurking right behind them is undefeated Hubbard who picked up a big win against Kankakee who was favored to win conference.

South Shore 18, Corliss 12

Prosser 28, Schurz 20
Prosser (1-2) picks up it's first win of the season

Taft 28, Foreman 20
Taft's Mike Shewchuk 2 TD passes, 1 TD score. Big win for Taft!. Taft is new eyeing their week 6 game against Senn- who is also undefeated!

Uplift 31, Crane 8
Bronzeville 16, Juarez 8 (OT)
Kennedy 40, Hirsch 0

Elmwood Park 45, Mather 28
Elmwood Park's Josh Medina run's wild for 167 yards. I thought this game would be closer. Mather is going to have a tough time as conference play opens next week against winless Bogan.

Hubbard 29, Kankakee 16
David Moore of Hubbard 104 yards on only 9 carries versus a good Kankakee team that was favored to win the Southland conference.
While all the attention has been on Morgan Park and Simeon, Hubbard is grinding out win after win and is now 3-0. This time against Kankakee who was 7-3 last year. Hubbard is now positioned to go the rest of the regular season undefeated until their showdown with Morgan Park on the last day of the regular season.

Lane 33, Bogan 24
Both teams played sloppy in a back and forth game that Lane finally took the lead for good in the 4th quarter. Lot's of fumbles and loss on downs. Not pretty!

Mendota 8, Amundsen 6
game of the day. recap from the Tribune: "Evan Carroll returned a kick off for a touchdown 89 yds with 25 seconds left to go in the game for the winner. Chicago Amundsen scored on 91 yd tipped pass to take the lead 6-2 with 38 seconds left to go in the game to set up Carroll's touchdown return."

Robeson 48, Riverside-Brookfield 9
I knew Robeson was good but 49-8 good versus RB. WOW!

Young 48, Hope 20
No more cream puffs, Whitney Young faces #1 Simeon next week.

Bogan - Return to Glory

Deandre Bingham (sr- WR/QB- 5-10, 190lb) and Bogan are looking to rise back up to prominence. (photo credit: Deandre Bingham)

From 1976 until 1997 Bogan teams was a solid CPS football program, winning city twice and qualifying for the state playoffs 13 times during that span. However the decade of the 2000's Bogan fell in a bit of a decline (compared to years past). For example, in 2002 Bogan lost to Harper 62-0. That's right Harper. Then in 2005 Sam Jones, a former sophomore coach at Morgan Park took over as head coach. He took his lumps his first few years, but what he added was a sense of discipline to the program. For example a team dress code was enforced which included no baggy pants or ear rings.

Jones has brought up the Bogan program to the point where they won the Chicago Windy City Conference last year with an undefeated conference record and thus has been promoted to the Illini Red-Bird - home of Lane Tech, Curie, and defending city champ Simeon.

Last Year

Bogan had one of the biggest upsets last year when it beat Tinley Park 22-15. Then rolled through the rest of the games undefeated before finally falling to Marian Catholic in the state playoffs. Despite their gaudy 2009 record, some still doubt Bogan because only two of their wins came against above .500 opponents (Julian and Corliss).

Fall 2010 Schedule

8/27 7:00 H   Tinley Park (H.S.)      
       @ Gately Stadium
9/4  7:00 A   Edwardsville (H.S.)      
9/10 7:30 A   Chicago (Lane)       
       @ Lane Stadium
9/18 3:00 A  *Chicago (Mather)      
       @ Winnemac Stadium
9/23 7:00 A  *Chicago (Hubbard)      
       @ Gately Stadium
9/30 7:00 A  *Chicago (C. Vocational)     
       @ Gately Stadium

       @ Gately Stadium
10/15 3:30 H  *Chicago (Amundsen)      
       @ Stagg Stadium

Fall 2010 Outlook

Bogan will have to replace some playmakers from last year including Kareem Adewole (now at Nazarene Olivet), Emmanuel Bibbs (now at Iowa), lineman Ashley Odei, and speedy cornerback Kevon Cole. That is a lot of talent to replace. They do have receiver Vance St. George and good sized linebacker Cortez Reese returning.

Their 2010 schedule will be much tougher than last year. There are no more gimmes on the schedule.That means no more teams like DuSable and Gage Park. Instead their schedule will be loaded from week 1 until the end. In non-conference play, they open with Tinley Park, followed by a rare game at downstate Edwardsville then a trip to the north side to meet the always tough Lane Tech Indians. Then they begin play in the rugged Illini Prairie State conference - the Hubbard and Morgan Park Conference.

Finishing .500 will be a major accomplishment for Bogan. I feel that their biggest game of the season may be the first conference game against Mather. Mather, like Bogan is new this year in an Illini-Conference. None of those teams want to start out conference play with a loss - especially with big games against Morgan Park and Hubbard still coming up.

Players to Look Out For

Deandre Bingham (sr- WR/QB- 5-10, 190lb)
Vance St. George (WR)
Cortez Reese (LB, sr, 6-2, 210lbs)

Illini-Prairie State Conference Preview...Part 2

Bogan is new to the Illini-Prairie State after winning and going undefeated in the Chicago Windy City Conference. I call Bogan a Morgan Park off-shoot school because its head coach Sam Jones was a former Morgan Park sophomore school for 10 years.

Neilski’s conference predictions
1. Hubbard 2. Morgan Park 3. CVS 4. Bogan 5. Amundsen 6. Mather

Week 1 non-conference schedules

Hubbard
8/28    7:00  A		 South Bend (Adams), IN				  

Hubbard travels to South Bend to play Adams. Last
year Hubbard shut out Adams 13-0. But that game 
was in Chicago. This time it will be in South Bend. 
The travel experience,more than the result will be
good for Hubbard. At some point of the state playoffs 
Hubbard will likely travel downstate. Last year 
Hubbard lost a heartbreaker to Belvidere North in 
the 2nd round of the state playoffs. I expect 
another Hubbard victory in this game against a very 
average Adams team. Adams will ahve the advantage in 
having a game under their belt because high school 
football starts a week earlier in Indiana.

2. Morgan Park
8/29    3:15  H		 New Lenox (Providence Catholic)		 

							@ Soldier Field

Morgan Park has fared well against Catholic League 
teams in the past, They beat Mt. Carmel about 7 years 
ago and beat Brother Rice last year. Unfortunately, 
I don’t see Morgan Park beating Providence. Providence 
is just too good this year and will be a state title 
contender. Morgan Park will be a young team. But, 
Morgan Park will give them a battle- at least for 
a half.

3. CVS
8/28    4:15  A		 Chicago (Hyde Park)					 

							@ Eckersall Stadium

Expect to see running back Darius Smith – the 
fastest running back in the state – to run it 
up versus Hyde Park. 

4. Bogan
8/27    7:00  H		 Tinley Park (H.S.)					  

							@ Gately Stadium

This game will be a great gauge off the bat 
to see how far the Bogan program has developed. 
Last year, Bogan pulled off one of the best 
victories a CPS school has had over a suburban 
school when Bogan upset Tinley Park. In this 
rematch, Tinley Park will have to travel to the 
city. Bogan has not been this good since the 
1990’s. We’ll see if they can reload after 
graduating stars like Emmanuel Bibbs (class 
of 2010 wide receiver – now at Iowa). Like 
last year, this will be a close game with 
a slight edge to Bogan because the game 
is at Gately.

5. Amundsen
8/27    3:30  A		 Chicago (Steinmetz)					 

							@ Hanson Stadium

Amundsen surprised me when it won a Chicago
Conference and got promoted to the Illini 
conference two years ago. Then it surprised 
me again, when it did not finish last. The 
word on the street is that Amundsen player 
are committed to off season workouts. Maybe 
their work is paying off. A competitive game 
– not necessarily a win -  against a Lane 
team with a new coach and a new offense will 
give an indication on competitive Amundsen 
will be this year. If Amundsen can stay within 
2 touchdowns from Lane, then I know they’ll 
be alright in conference.

6. Mather
8/27    3:30  A		 Chicago (Steinmetz)					 

							@ Hanson Stadium

This is a must win game for Mather to build 
up confidence in the new year. Mather and 
Steinmetz are about equal as far as football 
programs. Both are up and down. Mather has 
graduated some star players and will need 
to have a good showing against Steinmetz. 
I see a close game with a slight edge to 
Mather. This will be one of the first games 
to open the IHSA football seasons statewide.
