Looking for a game

[The_Oldfan]

Looking for idea for games to watch in Week 8
I am admittedly a CS8 homer, but next week looks like five blowouts. Jacksonville may hang with n Rochester for a quarter or so, but still a blowout.

What I want is:
1. Mid level, 4A -6A
2. Meaningful. Two ranked teams or a conference championship or high playoff seed on the line.
3. Good streaming video

Any suggestions,?

Don’t know viewing options but Highland vs Mascoutah and Peoria vs Normal West could be good games.

7A St. Rita at 5A Providence

Obviously 7A doesn't interest you but gauging a team that may make some noise in 5A vs a quality team might interest you. I'll check on viewing options

I recommend 4A Centralia(5-2) @ 5A Mt. Vernon(3-4). This game may not sound sexy at first, but let me explain.
If Centralia wins, they are the undisputed South Seven champions. But things get interesting if the lose.
A Mt. Vernon win would tie them at 3-2 in conference play with Centralia. It would also tie them with the winner of Althoff and Cahokia, who will also become 3-2 in S7 play.
The tiebreaker would become fewest points allowed against the other two teams.

Mt. Vernon wins the conference playoff qualification(a big deal since they have a tough matchup in week 9) by beating Centralia by 14 or more, plus either
1. Althoff wins and gives up 8 more than Mt. Vernon or
2. Cahokia wins and doesn’t give up 24 points less than Mt. Vernon.

Althoff wins the conference playoff berth with a win of their own and a Centralia loss, while also allowing 8+ less than Centralia.

Cahokia wins the conference playoff berth with a win of their own and a Centralia loss, while also allowing 37+ less than Centralia.

I like it. Is Bobby Brenneisen still coaching Centralia?

No, but when I checked the IHSA website for that info I found out that Centralia hasn’t made the playoffs since 2017(when he was still coaching). So that adds an extra fold to this story

Sterling at Moline. Conference championship. Both teams 6-1. Great coverage on NFHS by Sterling. Warriors are the underdogs.

Didn't Mt. Vernon forfeit the next 2 weeks

Didn't Mt. Vernon forfeit the next 2 weeks

They forfeited wins from weeks 3 and 4, not any games left to be played

Sterling at Moline. Conference championship. Both teams 6-1. Great coverage on NFHS by Sterling. Warriors are the underdogs.

I consider the Sterling coverage to be among the best in the state, both from an announcing prospective and camera work quality. And I believe they still have in-game REPLAYS, which a lot of game-streaming does not!

Ahhh. Thanks for clarifying.

They do indeed still have in game replays along with stats.
