January 6, 2010Hello again,
I hope everyone had a great holiday season. Its been a while since our last blog and I apologize for that. Lyons Township students had the past two weeks off for Winter Break, but the WLTL Sports Department put in a few extra hours over the break to give the listeners a special treat. On December 19, the Lyons varsity basketball team played a regular season game at the Untied Center. With the help of Nick Zeisloft’s four three-pointers and a total of twenty-two points the Lions won the game 72-66 keeping their perfect season hopes still alive. The emotion of the game was outstanding both teams leaving everything on the court. From calling the previous games this was by far the best and hardest team the Lions have played so far this year. Myself and Matt Callaghan had prime seating once again thanks to the LT Athletic Department. In the following week the Lyons also played in the Jack Tosh Tournament at York and dominated the competition including a victory over Riverside-Brookfield in the finals to capture their first ever Jack Tosh Trophy. As of this post the Lyons remain undefeated (12-0) and their next game will be played at home on January 8, 2010 vs. York at 7:30, WLTL will be broadcasting the game. Besides LT sports, the NFL postseason has commenced and the teams that did not make the playoffs have already made decision on their future, including the Bears. If you did not hear, Lovie Smith is staying in Chicago, but the same can not be said about the hated Ron Turner and the five other position coaches. I said this earlier and some questioned me about Charlie Weis taking the job as Offensive Coordinator, but rumors have been circulating about either he or Mike Martz taking the job. Martz was the former coach of the St. Louis Rams during the time of “The Greatest Show on Turf” when the Rams went on to win the Super Bowl. Although, Weis has also drawn interest from the Kansas City Chiefs but many think he could just sit back, take it easy for year, and collect his paycheck from Notre Dame. I think any Bears fan is relieved that the former staff has been fired and is anxious about what is to come in the future.
