Providence @ Nazareth

[Colin2299]

Naz up 10-0 at the half per IHSA

 

[4Afan]

Geez how early did this game start?

 

[AmbroseBlack]

Just in case

No soph or JV game?

No soph or JV game?

Maybe Plantz forgot to schedule it.

 

[Colin2299]

On a serious note… Providence leadership really set the interim up for failure.

First three games are vs:
Naz
Fenwick
Mount Carmel

 

[Colin2299]

Maybe Plantz forgot to schedule it.

My buddy is there and says that Providence has 12 sophomores up on varsity and not enough to field a sophomore team.

Regardless, 6pm KO is broke back.

 

[Louie1999]

Unbelievable drive by Naz took almost the entire 3rd quarter and results in a touchdown

Rough 1st game for interim HC Nissen. Naz had at least 3 INTs.

 

[JZ1983]

Provi will be just fine. Naz needed this way more than Provi. Unfortunately it just looks bad with the crazy coverage this situation is getting.

Dang!!

I see a 5-4 finish for the Celtics and an early exit. The media circus will not go away unless the school responds which they wont. Cause they seem to be in the wrong. And as the losses stack up the lock room will go from bad to worse.

They may finish 5-4, but I would still be shocked if they don't win 5A. Look at the field. It may be the weakest class I can remember in years. Cary Grove is down from their usual and Prairie Ridge is really bad for the first time in forever. SF seems to have dropped off a fair amount from last year. Sycamore is in free fall.

Realistically, Wheaton Academy and Kankakee are the biggest unknown variables to perhaps have a "if everything goes right, they may have a chance to knock PC off." Down south, Mahomet, Morton, Triad, and SHG seem to be the best of the bunch. SHG would need to improve a ton from the unit we saw week 2 to have a chance. The others are interesting, but would still likely be double digit dogs to the Celtics.

The only way PC plays a game within single digits in 5A is if Montini is bumped to 5A.

I could see the weird scenario happening where they win a watered down 5A after limping into the postseason and then watch the transfer portal open in December.

Good points.

FYI - Wheaton Acd ain’t it

Wonder if the Provi decision makers saw it as you do. They saw a likely 5A state title for the Celtics and knew it would be tough to fire the HC after winning a title, so they made the move in the middle of the season.

I hear your point but I think the team is extremely fractured. Think its going to have lingering effects. Also agree think there will be a ton of transfers and their struggling enrollment is going to I take an even bigger hit.

Hearing this too, and sounds like it was one of the issues with Plantz. I’m honestly shocked at the numbers at Provi’s lower levels. Are they really struggling that much to get kids out for football?


Before COVID, and when I had relatives there, every level had starters, second team, third team, scout team, etc. There were a ton of kids in the program. If the numbers have really dropped that much, it’s a shame to see.

All.... Speaking of 5-4 that might get your Hilltoppers a trip again to Chatham. Maybe that will work out better this time around..... Ratsy

The school only has 650 kids it used to be 1200. I dont think its a plantz issue with the lack of numbers . Its an enrollment issue. And this is just another black eye on the school that is going to hurt enrollment even more.

Are Cary Grove and Prairie Ridge 5A this season?

Yes

 

[JCHillmen10]

Yes

I didn't realize Prairie Ridge was 0-5 until I looked it up. They may not even make the field. I didn't realize that until 10 minutes ago.

5-4 is a best case scenario. They're just an average team at best this year until their performance proves otherwise.

It seems like you are taking my comment on SHG as a knock. I am not sure why. That game week 2 looked like two programs who are still trying to get their feet underneath them and maybe be state contenders in a year or two. I don't think that is controversial or that anyone from either program would really dispute that observation.

Zero offense. Only scored 60 points through 5 games. But this year they likely only need to scratch out 2 wins.
