Glenbrook North High School

It's just that there's been some other juggernauts that have, I guess, taken that mantle.

Glenbrook North has been a steady contender and champ.

Hinsdale Central, we say them a lot in the same breath.

Nutria really had a special period in the early 2000s and then the 2000s.

All right, Joe.

Highland Park ends its regular season going up against Niles West, I think.

Has Highland Park already secured the Central Central division title? I know they win it outright since they beat Glenbrook North and Deerfield.

So obviously a huge matchup here for Highland Park where not only are they trying to win an outright division title by taking down Niles West, but they're also, I think they're teetering on the line of maybe getting a first round by.

So it, it might be your-

... you, Jonathan, you just have to talk about the, the Northbrook guy.

Oh, Donlon? Yeah, he, you know, he went...

He's a GBN legend.

Yeah.

Come on.

New Trier with a tough test here going up against Glenbrook South, who has figured things out here after starting the season 0-2.

After losing to York 20-17 and Fremd at the 35-12, they beat Niles North, blew out Evanston, blew out GBN, blew out Highland Park, blew out Maine East.

So it'll be interesting, Joe.

Like you said, if New Trier beats Glenbrook South and Glenbrook South beats Maine South – That essentially forces a three-way tie for the conference championship or the division championship, I should say.

Not, no relation to the NBA great player.

And then my high school coach, Brian James, uh, when I graduated from Glenbrook North High School, uh, he went on to coach ...

The year I graduated, he became an assistant with the Detroit Pistons.

Yes, I remember him.

The JV team won conference.

The varsity team finished third behind GBS and GBN.

Gotcha.

And at the regional today, they finished second in between the GBs with GB North winning the regional.

I think they can make some noise.

I think it's a good group for the girls' team.

Again, GBN has been – One of the state's best.

They've got a couple state titles in here.

Grew up in the suburb of Northbrook.

Went to Glenbrook North High School.

Ooh, okay.

Okay, key question.

Mm-hmm.

Hello, Dolly! was at Glenbrook North.

Those are the only two I did at school, but then o- obviously when I got to New York I did more.

But yeah.

It was, it was like I found what, what, what ended up being my calling, you know?

I mean, I've definitely been grateful for the amount of support for stuff like that, which I don't know...

I, I know Glenbrook North itself, you know, they keep getting nicer and nicer facilities, and every time there's sort of a, a referendum on should we put more taxes toward the school, they say yes.

But that does not seem to be the norm [laughs] nationwide such-
