BR 27 Jacobs 0 Final

[McCaravan]

Ok so Collinsville is making the 5 hour trek up to Rice - should be a good one

I was really surprised BB lost to them. I looked at Collinsville schedule last week and after BB almost beat the Beast, I had them easily winning. You never know...even with the W I still like BR at home by three scores.

12A would be perfect or a division for private schools that public schools can elect to compete in. Private schools dominate football and are even more dominant in other sports. Look at the current class A soccer finals. All 4 teams are private schools. Similar thing happens in most sports especially on the girls side. Huge difference when you can recruit players Vs playing with what shows up.

2021 Football 8A- Lockport
7A Wheaton North
6A Carey Grove

2021 Basketball- 4A- Glenbard West

2022 Baseball- 4A- Edwardsville

Mount Carmel won 3A in Wrestling but outside of the MC and wrestling community not many people knew about that one.

Look at the utter domination by the privates here! How can we allow this to continue?

Anyways - great win BR! If those guys are all healthy BR will be a problem for everyone in 7A

BR defense doing a good job vs the run. Jacobs does not throw the ball well.

That is an understatement for the performance last night.

Me too. I was very concerned. Shows how good the Blue is.

and I think we got our answer last night how good the closed FVC conference was this year. Not very.

Yes, given the Jacobs score and the Huntley score, Prairie Ridge (with its relatively weak defense) should be concerned. Still, of the three co-champions Prairie Ridge is probably the best by a small margin. And, 6A is easier than 8A or 7A. And, the northern bracket of 6A is easier than the southern bracket. And, even within the northern bracket, Prairie Ridge has about as favorable a path to the semifinals as one could hope for. So all is not lost for the Fox Valley Conference.

Just what we need, a good public/private debate

I’m not convinced PR gets past CLS. PR needs to start faster and play some D
