Thank you for this, much clearer now for me to understand 8A football vs 5A footballAll the more reason to shrink the classes from 8 to 6 AND add an unlimited opt into class to get the top 32 teams into it from all classes. That way really good 3A, 4A and 5A teams can opt in and test their mettle against the top teams from 6A-8A. Personally - i would think there would only be a handful of teams in 3A-5A that would even attempt it Year in and Year out - but until that option exists - I think it’s fruitless to try and compare the top 3A/4A teams with teams from the larger classifications.
AgreedI
I was really surprised MCC didn't beat Antioch 60-0
Antioch was 9-0 but they must have the weakest schedule on the face of the earth or I'm missing something, I saw that Antioch only beat Woodstock North by 1 point in the regular season, Rock Falls who plays 3A and only won 3 games all year, beat them by a touchdown, I am very familiar with Rock Falls seeing its right across the bridge from Sterling and I know if Sterling played them it would be 60-0 by half time, how did Antioch go 9-0 if they only beat a team Rock falls beat by one point? I expected a running clock by MCC before halftime, so when you say they beat a 9-0 team that doesn't say much. Dekalb beat Kaneland 31-13 Sterling beat Dekalb 33-3 Dekalb just knocked out Montini in the first round. In the past when Sterling has played MCC I'm praying for a few breaks and have always felt Sterling to be the underdog, this year I feel MCC is going to need a few good breaks.
Please note, Rock Falls and Football should NEVER be in the same post.

Sterlingwarrior how many playoff teams did Sterling play during the season and what class were they?
Aleman, Geneso, Roschelle 4A and DeKalb 6A.
Antioch beat Lake's and Grayslake North in 6a. Woodstock North in 5A.
ESCC:
ND and Marist 8A
Benet 7A
Naz 6A
MCC 5A
Sterling had a great season as a large fish in a easy conference just like last year. So you beat a beat up an injured Viator team. Do you really think Sterling makes it through healthy in ESCC playing bigger teams? No chance.
Get past a quarter final game then you can brag.
To answer your question, yes, yes I do believe they can and will. and I expect you to come back to this post and eat crow in two weeks. Or I willSterlingwarrior how many playoff teams did Sterling play during the season and what class were they?

Too much stupid jibber jabber. Have to get thru one week at a time during this part of the year. Save the waving of wienies for after the final games are played. That said...Kaneland is a great program and a foe Sterling should remember well. The boys rest on their laurels of last week, and it will be a round two elimination. Should be a tough game with some good football.
Sterling Warrior, seriously... I am a Golden Warrior from the 70's, now transplanted to the suburbs. I bleed Blue and Gold and will sing Oskee Wawa with the best of them. Yet, your incessant homerism and chirping is causing even some of us beloved heartache. Let us fly under the radar! This thread is 4 pages too long because you keep pushing people's buttons. My sense is that you believe that Sterling has been long disrespected and nobody ever talks about them. But really, what have we ever done in the playoffs? If Sterling is as good as a lot us think they are, we will keep winning and the respect will come. Time to shut this thread down and prove it on the football field!
is there an update on the status of the baby in question here?
Well, the thread was great, but going through it reminded of the fundraiser for the kid. Those things stick with me.You really had to revive this thread?
Go Sterling! I also think this could be a deep run for sterling. St. Viator may be a tough team in one of or hell the best conference, but let’s see em stop Sterlings run game first before we crown the winner.
We could turn this revisited thread into a Sterling vs Saint Rita thread next week and talk about how much better the ECCL conference is than the Western Bix 6? LOL
Agreed, I’m not sure what to think this year either? I can’t judge if the big 6 is really that bad or Sterling is that good, they were definetly bigger boys in 7A and Sterlings O line controlled every game, with what you said I pretty much agree and It will be interesting to see how Sterling matches with Rita, it would not surprise me to see Rita blow them out and I also woukdent t be surprised if Sterling won. It will be interesting to see the score of the CHM -Sterling round 1 as Rita just beat them 3 weeks ago 55-7 If Sterling dosent dominate that game may be an indication of the Rita matchup.Unfortunately, it isn't be much of a comparison between the Western Big 6 and the ECCL. Because of that, it's difficult to figure out how good Sterling actually is - they really weren't tested at all this year. My feel is that Sterling has a better squad this year than they did last year, but not as good as two years ago when they were beaten by Phillips. I don't think they're as good this year in terms of athleticism (even though they have a couple special playmakers), but they seem to have better size/strength/depth up front than I've seen at Sterling. I'm going to predict Sterling takes care of Chicago Heights Marian in round 1, but loses to St Rita by a couple touchdowns in round 2.
Wasnt much of a game at all against Rita. It was a complete emptying of the bench game.Agreed, I’m not sure what to think this year either?

Phillips is 7ASterling will give Phillips a game if they meet. I think they match up well
Actually 2 years agoThis thread is from last year.
