Boys Soccer Notes

  • Lane Tech started the season slow with one victory in the first 5 games but has been on a roll since then and have gone undefeated

  • Lane Tech upset catholic school Marist and suburban powers Glenbard North and Lincoln Way East in the prestigious Pepsi Showdown, the largest soccer tournament in the mid-west.

  • Public League counterparts Whitney Yong and Kelly also fared well in the Pepsi showdown. Whitney beat Libertyville, Providence, and Lincoln Way East. Kelly beat Libertyville and Timothy Christian. The Public League has built some credibility in the eyes of suburban schools.

 New!Here is a selection of testimonials since the site was launched three weeks ago on August 24, 2006. LaneTechFan.com readers, do you have a story or comment to share? Please get in touch.

 

 

 

 

“I had to write to say how much I enjoy your website. I have found your website to be an outstanding resource for the Lane Tech fan athletic community. I love the fact that you are focused on the entire Lane sports program not just to one individual sport or level of sport. ... Let me not forget to mention how user friendly your website is .I am definitely going to spread the word about your website.

 

Thanks for a great web site, it is great to have people to "talk” and read about what is going on about Lane Tech sports programs!”

“Great job getting a link for the sophomore football team up on the site... I think it's important for the lower levels not to be overlooked as I have a lot of friends from high school that only played at the lower levels. And, some have said it was one of the most memorable times of their lives at my 10- and 20-year reunions…

 

Keep up the great and informative site.”

Just came across the website. Good work ! Great way for us to keep up with the athletics—I have been wishing for years that the official school site would do a better job of that. I am a graduate of the Class of 73. The last class that had no girls (at one time we were proud of that).  Keith Foley was my freshman football coach in '70 before he left to go to Phillips. Sorry to see him leave. I think he is a good man. I live in Omaha now and work at the NBC affiliate (WOWT-TV) as a sports reporter.

 

Once again I appreciate your efforts and look forward to more.”

A Heavy Dosage of Evanston Township High School

By: Neil Hernandez

 

In a period of 9 days last week I watched five Evanston Township High School games. The first was a varsity football game versus Hinsdale Central at Evanston High School. Then, I watched two volleyball matches as Lane’s sophomore and varsity girls volleyball teams play at Evanston. Finally I watched Evanston’s sophomore and varsity football teams play Lane Tech at Lane Stadium. The following article is some of my observations of the games and a comparison of the two schools. Now why did I do all this?...more
