This is not hot in these IL high School football streets.
I read it as varsity only, so you could schedule whoever on lower levels.Here is the biggest issue I see for WWS is that the schools they may be grouped with won’t have full lower level football. They will want to play Fresh, Soph, JV & Varsity but I doing see it with the grouping that Soucie cane up with. I guess the AD will have to earn his money trying to find games.
If Steve Soucie’s district preview is correct MC, ND, and SR would play 5 CPS schools. All three would have 5 wins, but only the top two would qualify for the playoffs with games in week 1&2 not counting for playoff contention. Under the present format all three privates could/would qualify for the playoffs. This is not thought out well or maybe it was.So basically St Rita, St Ignatius and Mt Carmel just joined the Chicago Public League.

District 6 (8): Chicago (Hubbard), Chicago (Kelly), Chicago (Lincoln Park), Chicago (Mount Carmel), Chicago (Schurz), Chicago (St. Patrick), Chicago (St. Rita), Chicago (Von Steuben).
Until I see the Districts I don’t trust the IHSA. I could see placing 8 privates in a division and allow only two make the playoffs. I can imagine that if there is enough outcry to keep traditional rivals they could justify it.
How does everyone like the first two games not counting for squat? I like to hear how everyone feels about that.
Top 4 teams in each district make the playoffs, so all 3 would make it, most likely, and one of the CPS schools.If Steve Soucie’s district preview is correct MC, ND, and SR would play 5 CPS schools.

Up in lake county what do you think would be your district,like what teams?not sure how this works.I’m still curious about the playoff format.
This could kill about 50% of the CPS in 5 years. Unless they opt to have several in-house divisions that do not play in the IHSA.I could see the day where some city public schools don’t offer football,so you will go to a catholic Hs to play!If district mapping goes wrong teams like foreman,Schurz and other small football programs have to play Catholics Hs teams they will not take that beating for long. Kids won’t come out to play!!
I might be wrong. I've read a lot of downstate news papers. Everyone has their own take on this.Top 4 teams in each district make the playoffs, so all 3 would make it, most likely, and one of the CPS schools.
I agree I played for catholic and public in the city there is only handfuls of city public teams that can compete with any catholic school!This is bad for them.This could kill about 50% of the CPS in 5 years. Unless they opt to have several in-house divisions that do not play in the IHSA.
17 vote difference, and 631 votes were cast but there are only 523 playoff eligible schools. That means 108 non-playoff eligible schools voted on this. .

I would be interested in the breakdown of how football playing schools voted and non-football schools...did a bunch of CPS non-football and non-playoff schools vote for this? .
YepSo basically St Rita, St Ignatius and Mt Carmel just joined the Chicago Public League.
There will be no more sophmore teams only freshman JV and varsity!Especially with districts!Most Hs programs have not announced it yet.Having the first two games not count is bullshit. But in one way this could work out if they do not overload a district with too many teams from the same conference.
But how many of these schools can field a freshmen, sophomore, and varsity teams.
I’d bet the Catholics pull out and form their own association.

Agree with Coach Badke's sentiment. Some of the CCL rivalries especially go back decades!! Cant wait for that Brother Rice v. Morton game or Nazareth v. Addison Trail. This is foolish.
Well visitor seating will not be a problem. How does Morton only win about 10 games in the last five years with 8200 students?
The more i think about it, the more likely I think this occurs. Would give prep bowl some real meaning for once.
