Illinois Central Ten?

Seneca, Sandwich set to join Illinois Central Eight Conference in 2027-28

Both Sandwich and Seneca high schools chose this week to leave their current conference homes, the Kishwaukee River and Tri-County, respectively, to become the 9th and 10th members of the Illinois Central Eight Conference.

Will almost certainly mean a closed conference. I don’t love that aspect.

Can't see what's behind the pay wall, but any talk of Lisle leaving or even fielding a team this year? Maybe Seneca and Sandwich replace Lisle and Streator.

The article mentioned the 10 team likely closed conference. It also pointed out that this would mean that Plano and Sandwich would potentially not play each other for the first time since 1939. There was no mention of any other schools joining or leaving.

Wonder how this got done? They took off 6 years ago for greener pastures. Burned a lot of bridges!

There will certainly be protests and riots for claims of indoctrinating these children into the ICE culture.

Easy Answer Easy Scheduling for AD's. They were looking for ten team conference to accompish this. Seneca was in tough spot because there were basically pushed out of the VVC by those Southern Schools. They attempted to piece together a conference but I think a few left for other options and a couple others struggled to field teams. They basically have been operating as an Independant for the last few years. They will be fine under the new playoff format. Might take some lumps in conference play but will be battled tested for the playoffs. Trap game if they limp into the playoffs at 3-6 with their offense for a 6-3 or 7-2 in round 1 for sure.
