Haven’t been able to find the score of the Maine South game, but if they won I’d say Ignatius at Maine South. Don’t know that they’ve ever played each other before

Actually I looked at the games coming up and only the two mentioned so far are the only ones exciting to me for this round.
Stockton/forreston, Aurora Christian/maroa, sandwich/hope (massey has hope as 18 point favorites but sandwich didn't field a varsity team a few years ago, fun to see them be successful sadly this one's at hope), morton/triad, providence/Morgan park, normal west/pekin, normal/Kenwood, brother rice/Batavia, Laurence/lww, downers north/rita, Oswego/nn, brook/Lyons, new trier/hf

What is exciting to you is subjective, but these are all games I'd be interested in watching

Does this mean the new format is working??

Glad this is at Morris. Can only take so much of that horse neighing on the PA. This type of matchup 20 years ago would’ve blown the doors off of this board. Not even a thread made yet.
The horse on the PA along with the techno pop blaring. My ears started bleeding just thinking about it 😆

It's only Sunday, there will be plenty of talk about this game. Plus it has been discussed throughout the season.

The West Suburban Silver has 5 tough matchups and could be going home after round 2. HC vs LWE, LT vs Bolingbrook, York vs Loyola, GW vs Hersey, and DGN vs St. Rita.

No Libertyville/Niles ND? I think ND has a great shot at pulling the upset, and should be a closer game than Naz/Simeon.

Can batavia beat br? I saw them beat ms and was impressed
Doubt it. I saw both the BR/MC and Batavia/MS games.

I don't see Batavia's defense shutting down BR. BR might give up some points but they should win by at least two scores.

The ESL/BR and DGN/Hersey semis would be some great high school football games.
