    2025 Central State Eight Updates.

    Looks like there will be plenty of talent in the CS-8 this upcoming season. Chatham with their 44 seniors, SHS has a bunch back, Rochester who will still be young at some spots should be much improved from last season, QND with a lot back including all but one offensive linemen and SHG who...

    2025 Central State Eight Updates.

    No worries, Roamin, lol it's all good. Kids go where they chose to go, (or their parents chose). Some folks don't have 10 grand a year to spend on high school, I get it. The ones that kind of bother me are the ones who spend a year or two at a private school and then their junior year show up on...

    2025 Central State Eight Updates.

    I'm gonna "read between the lines" here and conclude this means they got a couple kids that they thought might end up at "another" school, perhaps just down the street from SHS.......

    Fastest player you’ve seen

    If I can only pick one, I would say a kid whose first name escapes me. His last name was 0'bebe. Played at SHG in 2014 in a reserve role. He was injured halfway through the season and before his senior year the family moved back to their home country which I cannot remember where that was but...

    2025 Central State Eight Updates.

    Thanks Ratsy. If you have any info on SHG 7 on 7's or joint practices can you fill us in? Also do they still do the 8 days of May? I know they did it last year but I haven't seen a word about it this year.

    2025 Central State Eight Updates.

    Thanks Rocket Nation. Honestly I don't usually keep track of "all conference" players returning but rather just the general number of players returning. As a rule I think it somewhat works for at least having an idea of how a season might go. I had forgotten about the Senators' RB and receiver...

    2025 Central State Eight Updates.

    Other than Sheffler coming back at qb, I don't really recall how many SHS brings back. Seems to me they did have a couple sophmores playing up on varsity, though.

    Best two way player in IL history?

    Mike Pilger, SHG. 93/94 with his best season in '94 because he had a better throwing qb that season. He was unstoppable as a wide out, catching 95 percent of anything thrown his direction. He was the go to guy for what I called an automatic touchdown. As a db he was just as likely to end up...

    2025 Central State Eight Updates.

    I will go out on a limb and say Chatham is the odds on favorite to win their half of the CS-8 this year. Their backups and underclassmen should be getting plenty of playing time in the second half of some of their games. With that said, 2026 should be a rebuilding year, considering they dress 44...

    5th Year

    I would have loved to see Gabe Green come back for a 5'th year in 2015. Most likely had that been the case SHG defeats Crete-Monee in a quarterfinal round game (which admittedly) we played very poorly especially in the first half but made a huge come back and made it more than interesting in the...

    2025 Central State Eight Updates.

    Thanks for your kind words, Roamin'. I do think the stadium at SHG is a very nice one, and rarely do you see a visitor's stands the same size basically as the home stands. As for your stadium I didn't think it was a bad place to play at all. Quite the opposite. My only request would be 2 things...

    Do over

    Oh yes, Ratsy, I remember, and I know where he is now. That was a terrible choice of play calling in my opinion on that particular play. We handed off to a very little used RB instead of any other choices. We chose not to hand it to our main RB that year with many, many carries on the season, or...

    2025 Central State Eight Updates.

    With the re-alignment of the Southwest conference and apparently Jerseyville being left out in "limbo", I am wondering if they would be interested in joining the CS-8? They could fit nicely into the west half of the conference, and if Mt Zion would end up joining the east half, I think that...

    Do over

    I have 3 that come to mind. 1994 SHG vs Belvidere, semi-finals. SHG had in my opinion one of their best teams ever, especially on the offensive side of the ball. They were up early on Belvidere and were moving the ball on offense at will. Their main weapon and probably one of the best wide...

    Thanks Ratsy. Do you know or have you heard anything on who SHG is going to scrimmage with this year and if it will be home or away?
