Is that a team from Clarendon Hills, IL in the finals? Lake Mary, FL from down here didn't make it this year, so congratulations will hopefully be in order to Gil's town in Chicagoland.

It is indeed!!!

....and is the "Local Rag" - the Clarendon Courier - and for that matter, the Chicago TV stations, giving them the "mileage".

Here's more from the Regional Rag.

There will be a "Jumbotron" set up on the "Village Square" so that all - especially patrons of the four "upscale" restaurants in town can watch (and keep those Bar tabs open).

All five outlets - CBS, NBC, ABC, FOX, WGN(CW), had camera crews here, but no "on-airs" for the Village Square Watch Party.

Brama La Pizza (high end), Il Mio (my favorite), Open Door, Domino's, and Tierra Brewing, were having their own "field days".

Last time so many TV crews in town was when this little incident occurred.

Didn't turn out too good for our boys today; Final: 16-1.

But perhaps, better going at a consolation game come Saturday.

Ouch!

Great Lakes (Clarendon Hills) 3; Mid Atlantic 2.

Looks like our boys will live to fight another day (tomorrow).

From Hilton Oakbrook Hills (had to "decamp" from home account a power outage)--

They gave it 'er all, but 9-1 against Hawaii:
