Like who? They'll be favored in every game except MC.
They're a great team, but they had it pretty easy last year. They only had 39 playoff points and 9 of those came from MC. That means their remaining 8 opponents averaged under 4 wins.
As someone else said previously, they're not on the same level as MC and haven't earned national recognition just yet.
i am far from someone who love LWE but….
East plays a tougher schedule then 97% of the state but no one wants to give them credit because they are a public school not to mention most of the time schedules are agreed upon a couple years out
you control 2 games….most teams refuse to play east since they know its a loss…
they have played maine south, kankakee, batavia, stevenson, crete monee…. Not sure who else they need to schedule lol
And swsc is probably the best public school conference but thats a whole seperate conversation people dont want to have

As I mentioned earlier in this thread - first games both teams will be rusty. LWE has a lot of depth and I believe 2 D1 players among their Seniors. They'll be playing at home and it'll be a tough game. I think Rice pulls it out 28-17
Isn’t this something that everyone already knew was happening?
Brother Rice has done really well in the transfer portal

This game will end up like MC ESTL a few years back week 1. I expect Rice to be very undisciplined this year and have a lot of bonehead penalties. Cargo shorts won’t have control of the circus week 1. I expect LWE to out coach them, be the more disciplined team, and win the turnover battle. This will be a very low scoring game. Yes we know the weapons rice has. But I feel like they have more questions marks then east has across the board. Win or lose both teams will be better off for playing this game as their season progresses.
Word on the street is some LWE people connected to the program tried to get a stud from up north but the family told them to cut it out or they would report them to the IHSA.
Irony of scheduling for the two pre con games. Complaints about LWE playing “soft” for these two season openers over the years. Didn’t BR also play Crete-Monee for the non cons? Or did this not count as Rice wasn’t relevant then?
I recommended improving the non con games due to the decline (and departure) in Brook and HF. At one point in time that was enough to prep for whatever youd see in the playoffs. Its just not the case anymore and I dont think LWC, LWW, Bradley, and Sandburg reach that level. Lockport has shown they can, but we just never know when.
LP hasn't shown they can prep LWE, they have gotten rolled basically every year in the past 6-7 minus one close game.
And I want LP to compete year in year out with them, trust me. But they have not show that at all.
But they have won multiple 8A championships. In fact more than anyone not named Loyola or Maine South and as many as LWE. We just dont know when it'll, like 2021.
They might, but who knows. Thats why I want LWE to do something with that 2nd non-con game.
