EDGY's Preseason Thoughts on the 2024 Clifton Central Comets

Clifton Central and Hall of Fame head coach Brian Spooner is starting his 27th season in leading the football program. Spooner has a 189-91 record at Clifton Central in 26 seasons and has led the Comets to the IHSA state playoffs in 21 season. The Comets missed out on the state playoff field in 2023 with a 4-5 record and with a core of recruiting starters back in the fold (5 offense 7 defense) look for the Comets to make a push towards the IHSA state playoffs along with being in contention for the Vermillion Valley conference crown.

Biggest Question for your fav conference in 2024?

Big question is how SE looks minus the coach? Do they pick up where they left off and more importantly build off last season and last few seasons?

I think SE wins west side of conference. It’s a shame we can’t see SE-GBE conference rematch, but getting Batavia and Barrington is a monster.

All.... Using the word loaded underscores what the Roadrunners have coming back. If they manage to stay healthy it wouldn't surprise me with what you have listed above 7-1 in that group.

Im sure it's somewhere on the board but I couldn't find it. Do you have who they play in week two? Ratsy

Edit - Found it. Nazareth will play Kenwood week two. Make that 8-1. Note fwiw scrimmage game with Evanston 0n 8-23.

3 of the top 7 ranked teams in the state are in the Providence Sectional.
#5 PC
#6 LWW
#7 JTW
And the 4 seed in the sectional, LWC, just beat JCA yesterday. That is one tough sectional. Good luck to the Tigers. I would love to see them win this sectional.

And whoever wins the PC sectional will most likely have to play Naz in the Super Sectional. Yikes!

We are looking forward to seeing many of our underclassmen take the next step in their development.

2024 Team 7on7 or Team Summer Camp?

We are still working on the schedule. I believe we are competing in one summer scrimmage.

Crete Monee and head coach John Konecki once again has a pretty loaded roster for 2024 and the Warriors have several top names to watch over the next few seasons. Crete-Monee sophomore DB Jayden Marshall (5-foot-11, 165 pounds) is a speedy, twitchy athlete who is already holding a handful of FBS offers this spring and who's recruiting stock will just continue to rise. Marshall has track sprinters speed, impressive overall football skills and plays with spewed along with a high football IQ.

Looking for a sleeper name to watch for the Warriors? Keep an eye on Crete-Monee 2026 WR D'Arion Yarbrough along with sophomore WR Dorian Patterson and both are tall, lanky athletes who no question have a ton of upside.


EDGY's Preseason Thoughts on the 2024 Crete Monee Warriors

Crete Monee had a very young team in 2023 and several key underclassmen names gained valuable varsity experience that should pay off starting this fall for the Warriors. Crete Monee welcomes back 15 returning starters (9 offense 6 defense) including having talent and experience at several key positions. Crete Monee always plays a loaded non conference slate and will again get tested pretty much right out of the gates in 2024.

The biggest question for the Warriors heading into 2024?

Can Crete Monee develop enough overall depth and build up the programs numbers to make a deep post-season run this fall? Crete Monee under John Konecki has simply been one of the winningest programs in the South suburbs and also one of the top Class 6A programs state wide. The rise of Southland rival Kankakee has no question made things a bit more interesting for the Warriors but this remains a top tier program that I feel will have a punchers chance at contending for a possible state title again this coming season.

Q of the Week: 2024 Preseason IHSA Football Player of the Year?

Elliot, Kaminski or Williams
Click to expand...
Honestly all great choices. I am very impressed with Elliot. I can’t say enough about how he has played the past few years. I think Williams is the best overall athlete and only a Sophomore. Last year when I first saw him play against the Griffins I was truly in awe. Kids a player/gamer. The Griffins fans are going to be fully behind this young superstar. Big things coming to this kid. He will have the coaching and teammates to get this QB to the next level. East is another animal and adding a player of his caliber is only going to make the team even better.
Go East!
