I am all Bears on Sunday (and Saturday, and Wednesday...to my wife's chagrin) but Kasik is the guy we have to push. He gets my vote for keeping North High students hanging around the top 20 in public high schools in the state.
For purely venal reasons, but it couldn't hurt the kids either, I'd like to see that move up to top ten. Hinsdale and Naperville and Lisle ahead of Downers Grove? Let's get these kids on a crash course to learn how to write and how to do lights-out math.
You're doing a good job, Kasik. All Pro. But we want a Super Bowl.
