Bishop Mac could be the Belleville Altoff of the far south suburbs.

Dream the dream and make the plan to make it work!

With the right dynamic coach with the right staff, admin, and office can make it happen!

Just a thought!
Tougher for them now. A lot tougher.

Kankakee has been keeping their kids. Outlying schools that used to feed Mac have started programs - most recently St. Anne, which is where all the Hopkins Park kids go. Alan Rood is the coach there who is a Mac alum and was the HFC for a very short time before resigning IIRC.

Is there enough in the Eastern half of that polygon left over after the 2 MCs get their fill, plus the increasing reach of BR, Marist and possibly SL?
absolutely... but it's not the overflow or the ones left over

Did Jimmy Johnson worry about what was left over from Steve Spurrier & Bobby Bowden??? Heck no! he went out and out hustled!

It takes a slick speaking salesman!
does this New guy got that? well he had to sell himself in the interview so he should be able to sell the vision to parents and kids!

2025 Central State Eight Updates.

I'm really hoping the rumor is true... if so, QND's week 2 could be spicy.

And, fwiw, QND returns QB1 (Schuckman), 4 of 5 on the OL, RB2 (Triplett), WRs 2 & 3 (Doellman, Allensworth), and 7 on the defense. RB3, in limited reps in 2024, also looks a solid candidate to replace Ivan Hun at power back.

Key Losses:
Wyatt Mueller (Illinois State)
Ivan Hun (Quincy Univ)
Taylin Scott (Quincy Univ)

Hun and Scott will join fellow Quincy native and gunslinger Bradyn Little at QU next Fall. A program on the rise, is QU. Lots of local talent heading that way. Excited to see the program prosper with kids from the 217 and nearby.
All..... Roamin' does that fall under a tease? ;) The "word" out is the Raiders look to have week two scheduled by the start of the next semester. Ratsy

2025 Central State Eight Updates.

A little arrogant aren’t we?
All.... I hail from the SHG faithful. No allegiance to RHS. And view them in an even lesser light then before after how they decided to " handle" the latest "issue." There have been dust ups in the past by the way. Anyway I know the Rockets quite well. Even the team they had this year that lost to PND in RD1 of postseason play would of handled both of the two upcoming non con games.

The Rockets 2025 version will be even better. 2-0 will not be a problem. Ratsy

2025 Central State Eight Updates.

All.... Instead of putting general information on the old CS8 2024 thread I figured start a new one for those that follow CS8 football on this board. A couple on non con updates. Jacksonville will host Highland week 1 Friday 8-29. A nice pickup for the Crimsons.

Rochester will not be playing Cardinal Ritter again in their week two game. The Rockets have filled that date and will be on the road at Mt. Zion Friday September 5th. Rochester will play at home week 1 against Gibson Southern out of Indiana on Saturday August 30 at 2pm. Rockets will be 2-0 as they enter the following week into CS8 East play. Ratsy

Contact days cut and ejection rule changed

There was a RB years back for Morris who may have had a legendary game they wrote a book about and also had one of the best seasons in IHSA history and football wasn't his favorite sport and went on to wrestle in college. He was pretty great and did what was asked of him, but he wasn't going above and beyond anything his teammates were doing during the summer.

Stop being one of those guys who still wears his letterman's jacket and thinks success in HS football is the pinnacle of life.

Please don’t let this happen

Very interesting. Although it could result in a delayed NIPL, I think it could work for a while.
I think the NIPL is inevitable. This is a new account but I’ve been on this board since like 2003 so I remember when the NIPL was first proposed.

With this it approach it puts on the public schools to opt in to their own divisions vs a knee jerk reaction that forces privates out. I am skeptical that many of the public coaches actually want to be separated. I have a feeling this is mostly driven by upset parents and fans. But over time I agree, give me the NIPL.

College Football New Playoff Format

Indiana played 2 top 25 teams all year. I believe it’s 65-26 against for them so far.

With the giant conferences, it’s going to happen every year. Decent teams will draw the cupcake schedule for that year, and go on an 11-1 run. Other teams that might be better, will draw the gauntlet, and finish 9-3.
How many did ND face?

Being great takes commitment.

Agree to simply disagree here,

They’ve done it before!

You're asking for quite commitment from the kids, but even more so the coaches. Like I said, many are volunteers and the rest are also teachers who need to get ready for classes. Not sure how it works at private schools, but public school coaches who are also teachers just get an additional stipend to coach, and it's not nearly as much as you may think. This is HS football and for 99% of kids it's just another extracurricular activity.

Bears

And players, stop telling me how you are feeling. Tell me how you are going to win.
With your record feelings don't matter anymore.
Really, who wants to read or hear what these players think or feel. Do the job for which you are well-compensated, which should not include running your mouth. Winning talks while bullsh*t walks.
