    CCL/ESCC schedules for 2026

    Takes two to tango and I know a few 8A schools would not play as well as other CCL teams Sandburg agreed to play Montini over BR and vice versa is a odd. Similar to York and Naz.

    Is MC Primed to Win It All Again?

    BR needs to show out again but their trajectory is getting them closer to the team photo of MC and LA .

    St. Rita Just Got Better, Maybe?

    I'd imagine BR is willing to play week 2 but after LWE may want a breather With the transfer situation I am guessing publics that compete for students with a private will not play that private. Look at the Oak Lawn season. Had a great year, then it crashed down to a team they compete for...

    CCL conference realignments are in.....

    Seems as though Coach Q isn't messing around. I know they opened with Maine South Marist every year week two but LWE to kick off. Nice Wonder if they try and scale back week 2 or go after Rita. My guess is lower division CCL won't be jumping at the chance to play them. 7A gives room to...

    The Playoff Expansion Bylaw PASSED!

    This should make for some great week 1 and 2 games for teams for teams from the better conferences.

    My final top ten

    I think MaxPreps has the best ranking. Most dominating by class affiliation are Montini, Byron than Wilmington. St Rita is like the ND of rankings this year. Marist game went down to the wire. I liked the IC win until Byron dispatched them. They are similar to Loyola in that lost too many...

    Who will we see in Bloomington 2026? ---ok maybe too soon

    I forget about them. I am at the age where I am not yet yelling at the clouds but also view Lockport/Joliet as the western border of Illinois. I almost recall the Plainfield area but Oswego is where when I am driving to Iowa I say, ok I am into this trip and out of the city sprawl. A 20...

    Who will we see in Bloomington 2026? ---ok maybe too soon

    Lockport LWE GBW ESL Morris Byron Wilmington Some others will rise to the top as the season unfolds like Fremd, Oak Forest, etc. this year Public schools have those that are perennial programs and then you drop in the one's that have a talent group that stand out that are more specifically...

    CCL Divisions in 2026

    Also for CCL alignment I am not certain why they over think it. Set teams based on IHSA Class by groups of four similar to how IHSA sets the classes for playoffs and base crossovers on prior year records. Some larger schools may take their lumps and smaller ones could roll but it keeps...

    CCL Divisions in 2026

    Without the portal they are two years away from their best football. Fitz entered his role in a slightly better position then Q at BR but Q's first class was this one. Not sure Fitz has the program moving forward as quickly as Q did. BR survived as will Marist. Not sure if this is the...

    ESL VS FENWICK 6A

    That game mirrored the MC game exactly for Fenwick. Difference being better weather conditions and MC at home. Game plans for those were identical. Had MC or ESL scrapped the passing game all together I think neither are as close. Whoever is running the Fenwick defense is very good at...

    NIU needs help

    MC and BR have theirs playable. God Bless the IHSA. These games should have been moved to facilities that are interested in having the games played.

    CCL/ESCC Week 14*

    I can't access from home so I will take the loss on both already played. I'd have gone with Montini and Iggy MC SR Fen Provi
