In case you think...

...I've been slacking off lately, I want you all to know I spent an hour and a half yesterday talking with John Hoerster, the coach of Oak Park and River Forest. A very personable man, Hoerster just finished leading the Huskies' to their best season (9-2) in recent memory. The Oak Park resident is the son of legendary Loyola coach John Hoerster and a nine-year veteran of Frank Lenti's staff at Mount Carmel.

Look for my piece in the Oak Leaves just as soon as I transcribe the interview from my iPhone. I think you'll enjoy it.
