S. Elgin is teams to watch is interesting. They are probably, by far, the most likely 8A team to go undefeated.

South Elgin - Glenbard East will be great this season. GE beat S. Elgin 35-7 2 yrs ago and of course SE won the matchup last season.

Two up and coming programs, super excited about this matchup! Edit: Bartlett may also have something to say about this conf champ.

Well I would hope a team that wants to be considered an elite 8A squad would crush a school that typically hovers around 500 and is half their enrollment, don’t you think?

So what happened?

10-7 win is a win but wasn’t more expected?
Agreed and Agreed

Bartlett couldnt get any offense going. I dont have numbers but the hawks defense was on the field 70 percent of the game. GBS has a solid team.
