    Regional Football Proposal by Mahomet Seymour

    While it's definitely weird for teams under 0.500 to make the playoffs (especially with how things were with 6 classes), I don't see the current reality of a select few 4-5 at-large bids as a negative. For at least the next couple of years, assuming a similar number of 11-man playoff-eligible...

    Amendment Proposals IHSA

    Just to be clear - the IHSA can't (and isn't in this proposal) barring students from attending any private school they choose. Just restricting their ability to participate in athletics. Not saying I agree with the proposal - but it wouldn't prevent attendance at any private school of choice...

    What Game Are You Attending?

    If I were an impartial observer - I would strongly consider LT vs. Naper. Central. In my opinion, that (along with NN vs. Marist as mentioned) should be one of the best matchups in 8A this week.

    New: 5 Dangerous Teams You Don’t Want to Draw

    Cosign on DGN as a sleeper pick to make the quarters, depending on their draw. They've played well in a WSS that (appears to) have a number of solid teams this year. Looking at scoring margins - they lost to both York and GBW by only 7, and beat other teams fairly comfortably. Should be a great...

    Playoff qualification and class determination reminder

    Ah. Gotcha. Guess it didn't take that long to get a new poster tripped up after all. :D

    Playoff qualification and class determination reminder

    IHSA is now using 2-year moving averages for enrollment. If I'm not mistaken - this means this year's enrollments are based on the '19-'20 & '20-'21 school year enrollment numbers for each school. (Then add on multipliers as appliable for non-boundaried schools, boys-only, etc.).

    Fenwick Week 8

    Have to think it would be better (for all teams involved) from a competition/safety standpoint for Fenwick to get a forfeit W than play a CPS team from a Blue conference. If you're a Red Conference team, it only makes sense to seek out Fenwick if you know you'll be in the playoffs, AND seeded...

    What did we learn week 2!?!?

    That the West Suburban Gold & Silver conference title races are shaping up to be equally exciting - for opposite reasons. Silver is a combined 13-1, Gold is 1-13. While the Silver caliber of play may not be up to the standard of the big boys - there will be some matchups of undefeateds come...

    Your teams Summer Schedule

    We have done Monday through Thursday - 3 weeks in June, 2 weeks in July - for years. Always mornings. Lift, then film, then practice. We probably do more than others during the summer, which I used to think was an advantage. Over time, I'm coming around more to the approach above - emphasize...

    2023 Metro Suburban Conference - the leftovers

    WSC will dissolve before it expands. The Silver (minus Proviso West, plus DGS and maybe HS) are more likely to do their own thing than anything. GBE and GBS will stay with the Upstate 8, too. GBE because they can run things over there, and GBS after getting beat up in the old DVC for so many...
