cpc vs stockton!1a looks to be another wivc vs nuic title game
They had some dudes on the o line and d line during my time at A&M. They had a QB around 2012/2013 we played against who might as well have been a full back, dude was a truck. We enjoyed the rivalry with them because it was always a gameTuscola back in the late 80s and 90s had steamroller lineman every year... But as with all small schools, farming dies out and towns decline... Tuscola is tough but Heyworth right now is the steamroller... They just have to stay within themselves and be perfect one play at a time...
Hillsboro was a surprise to a lot of people this year, I could see them going deep in 3A. Would love to see the Texas Slot-T offense Pana runs, take off in the post season. It's beautiful when it works.To your point, Pana has a real shot at making a run, imo, this year given that bracket. Defense come week 10 and beyond becomes crucial, and Pana have a defesne. The offense struggles at times it would seem. Might bite them this time of year but that defense hasn't let anyone push them around. Sticking in the South Central I'm very excited to see if Hillsboro can maintain the momentum coming into the playoffs. However, their defense has struggled against quality opponents so we shall see.
Also to your point, it's anyone's for the taking in 2A south, so we may see some wild games. I also think that will be fun... to see a bracket without a true juggernaut running through it.
More likely than not they wouldn't go far in this bracket.Hillsboro was a surprise to a lot of people this year, I could see them going deep in 3A. Would love to see the Texas Slot-T offense Pana runs, take off in the post season. It's beautiful when it works.

I think the talent pool is in the decline at LeWin...
Well Gennings Dunker seems to be the king of the jokes on the Steelers.
Oof, Unity might be waiting there in the second round.More likely than not they wouldn't go far in this bracket.

Week 9 – 3A Playoff Bracketology
October 15, 2026 Here are the week 9 playoff projections. This is a new beginning as we project the 48 teams instead of the traditional 32 teams. Be patient if we made some mistakes as we tweak in …centralillinoisfootball.wordpress.com
#13 for Heyworth does it all... I think he has 5 total TD from both sides of the ball... Running clock 12 sec into the 2nd half... Heyworth 53-0 after 3 quarters...They had some dudes on the o line and d line during my time at A&M.

Epic game. Don’t think anytime has anything to hang their head on. Other than neither played a full game. Got a feeling this will be seen again.A WIVC classic!
BC 32-31 Final/OT
Calhoun ripped off 17 unanswered to comeback from 24-7 at half. Say what you want, Calhoun was very good. BC knows how to win big games.
Enlighten us how BC got ahead by 17!A WIVC classic!

BC came out ready to play. Calhoun did not. Calhoun had 70 yards of offense the first half BC had 213. To the end the game BC Had 249 Calhoun 256. Was a tale of 2 halves for both teamsEnlighten us how BC got ahead by 17!

Calhoun path looks sweet!~Is it crazy to say given the draw Calhoun may of lucked out with a loss against BC brutal Draw for a 1 Seed
Another year, another ALAH team that can't hang... Calhoun definitely got the easier path. CPC going as a 5 seed at 8-1 is wild to begin with! I understand all the travel issues, but it's the playoffs. 1-32 1A thru 8A... would have avoided this right?Is it crazy to say given the draw Calhoun may of lucked out with a loss against BC brutal Draw for a 1 Seed
GNW BC R2 Intrigues me. It really does. CPC BC R2 BRINGS INTRIGUE AS WELLAnother year, another ALAH team that can't hang... Calhoun definitely got the easier path.

I wouldn't discount West Frankfort. Just me2A south is going to be interesting only because it's full of average teams. Nash, Pana, JC have to be the only real favs and Pana is likely a stretch in that convo. This is JC's chance! lol But of course they have to get thru Nashville first...
Could not pay me any amount to believe in Hillsboro.Hillsboro was a surprise to a lot of people this year, I could see them going deep in 3A. Would love to see the Texas Slot-T offense Pana runs, take off in the post season. It's beautiful when it works.
1A Loser in South has to be BC getting thrown into the WIVC Invitational1A Bracket Winners
Calhoun in the south - Avoid all their buddies from the WIVC and on paper almost a cake walk to the Semi Finals
1A Bracket Losers
The NUIC - Their big 3 Stockton, Forreston and Lena will see 2 of the 3 bounced before the Quarterfinals. Fulton has a great shot to join the winner of those 3 in the Quarterfinals though and Galena could be a very tough out for Heyworth in the 1st Round.
2A South - Everyone is a winner with Maroa going North. Could be any number of teams making in to state. I still like West Frankfort to get there but Johnston City, Nashville will have a say and keep an eye on Pana they are playing really well.
3A Winners - Pontiac in the north with a chance to win a couple games vs CPL schools. Also like Monticello chances to get to the State Semi final avoiding conference rivals Unity, SJO and BCC who are on the other half of south bracket.
