Expand the playoffs and you alleviate the race for 5 wins and the scheduling pressure it creates. Will there be some blowouts? Sure... there are plenty of blowouts already. If it gives the kids the chance to polay more football we should be in favor of it. Remember that top 16 teams will get...
Considine has been as impressive as anyone in the State. I think seeing him on TV on Friday will open a lot of eyes. Dowling answered the bell and has been great but look what he has to work with. Izzy Abrams and Aaron Stewart carried their teams. Can’t go wrong here but I would lean towards...
I think we missed the Monticello proposal that has expanded playoffs with no regions/districts.
1. If we eliminate the race for 5 wins all the scheduling problems instantly go away.
2. There are some 2 and 3 win teams that would wipe 5 and 6 win teams and these are the matchups we would see...
Question for you and the coaches. Give us some sleeper teams. Curious to hear which teams you think make some headway from last season. Those teams that maybe they squeaked out a win against but thought on the way home... I'm not looking forward to playing them next season.
Hinsdale Central going out to West Aurora is a new matchup and an interesting game. WA was 9-0 last season but the Upstate 8 is a weaker conference. HC missed the playoffs at 4-5 but they go through a meat grinder in the West Surburban Silver and also play Naperville Central in non conference...
When I played 30 years ago we used to have a Jamboree game where we would bring in 8 teams and we'd all play 1 half at the same location. It was a lot of fun. You'd bring in teams from out of conference and out of state. You could team up with 4 conference teams and all play a team that you...
Kaminski was most impressive player I saw up close last year on that side of the ball. Made plays all over the field and threw around blockers like rag dolls.
I don't get why people don't talk enough about how good Jonas Williams is. He's the best QB in the State and it's not close. He might be the best QB in the Midwest and he's now at 8A powerhouse LWE!
Those are complaints that get made on teams that don't win! York was one of the few teams in the State that could play with the likes of Loyola and they were better than pretty much all the Catholic League teams with exception of Loyola and probably Mt Carmel (Look at what they did to Naz). If...
