    Q of the Week: So what's the fix?

    I think 1-32 is overhyped as a solution. There are some cases where it would pay off, such as giving a path to Byron vs Montini in the 3A title game this year. But it also would have turned Joliet Catholic vs Naz into a quarterfinal in 5A instead of the final. Changing to 1-32 just shakes up...

    Waterloo v. Cahokia

    Feels like this one comes down to which Cahokia team shows up. The Comanches always seem to have a degree of inconsistency and some of their results this year show that. Cahokia's best is probably better than Waterloo's best but Waterloo will absolutely let the Comanches beat themselves if they...

    Looking for scouting reports for smaller schools

    Highland is always a pretty strong team and they are solid again this year. None of their losses are too concerning since they all came against unbeaten or one loss teams. They keep it fairly simple on offense with a lot of running and quick passes. This link will give you their team stats for...

    Peoria Notre Dame 59 Rochester 58 … “Houston, we have a problem”

    Cahokia is likely to travel to Waterloo next week and I foresee that as a pretty competitive game. Whoever wins that one is my pick to at least reach the semis.

    Provi/SF

    Not an official here but one thing that comes to mind is that delay of game is not necessarily only for letting the play clock expire. At least in the NFL, spiking the ball after the play is called a delay of game. In fact, Jalen Hurts was just called for that infraction in a recent game...

    So AP polls are back...sorta

    Cary Grove had 74 points in the poll, so they were in second place of all six polls East STL was first in. East St. Louis had 72 points, so the two voters that did not rank them first had them in fifth place on average.

    Q of the Week: Which schools are in the most need for a facility upgrades?

    They are the only grass field left in Classes 4A-8A for Southern Illinois. It is amazing just how quick turf took over.

    The best IHSA Football playoff formula

    This is a good start but needs two corrections in my opinion. First of all, it seems better to go just off of wins rather than subtracting losses from the wins. Doing so would leave an 8-0 team that did not try to find a week 9 game better off than an 8-1 team that played week 9, for instance...

    Day Drinking Caught Up to Me

    I think we mostly agree. Yes, Cary Grove had offensive success. No, it was not because the Flyers are unable to figure out the scheme. Anyone who thinks CG won because East STL cannot figure out an option offense is taking away the credit Cary Grove deserves for executing well. It was more about...

    Day Drinking Caught Up to Me

    Based on their 57-7 drubbing of Prairie Ridge in last year’s final, it’s clear they’ve figured out the theory to stop the offense. Even yesterday, they only allowed three scores (Prairie Ridge, the foremost experts on it, allowed three scores as well this year). In the second half, the only...
