    CS8 Week 1 Predictions

    The Defense really played well the last 3 quarters. Moline’s last TD caromed off 2 Rocket defenders right into a Receiver’s hands. A once a season bad luck play (hopefully). Unfortunately, Batavia’s offensive scheme will be much different next week. The Offense, through Turnovers and poor...

    CS8 Week 1 Predictions

    I hope I'm wrong about Lanphier, thought it was not a good sign they didn't scrimmage last week. Also, the local 1450 preview indicated that they already had lost some players to injury. Now every program deals with injuries but it hurts more when the numbers are already low. Perhaps those...

    CS8 Week 1 Predictions

    Mascoutah could not arrange a Week 1 game and will take the forfeit win over Eisenhower. Two rematches from last season: MacArthur vs Mattoon and Southeast vs East Peoria. Two games will also include an undercard. Rochester Freshman will play Moline before the Varsity contest and the SHG JV...

    Eisenhower CANCELLED SEASON

    The Eisenhower HS that cancelled varsity football this season is from Decatur, not Blue Island.

    CS8 Preview

    The big news is that Decatur Eisenhower will not be playing varsity football this season. As of now, Chatham has been able to schedule Rock Island for Week 5, and Lincoln has been able to schedule Hillsboro for Week 7. Non-Conference opponents Mascoutah and Mt Zion along with CS8 opponents...

    CS8 2026 Schedule (Complete)

    A Week 4 game between U High and Galesburg could be competitive. Galesburg was 2-7 last year but has an enrollment of 1,102. Originally an Away Game for both teams. Lincoln, Southeast, and Lanphier would all be big underdogs against Moline, Geneseo, and United Township (East Moline) Weeks 7-9.
