Jacob Bell from Naperville North. All he did last night was pass and run for nine (9) touchdowns. For the year (eight games) he has already passed for 29 TDs and 2,298 yards (62%).

If North can make a run, then he needs to be part of the discussion. 5A Naz Player vs an 8A Naper North player with better numbers playing better competition? Bell is in front of that’s the race!

12-WWS
10-Batvia
8-Loyola
6-WN
5-Barrington
4-STN

Thought I would put the season long standings right here. Will the newcomer @k1867 take down the old salt @3OrangeWhips ? Will @tuccs or @pjjp pull off the 4th quarter come back of the century? Good Luck to all. Remember after the regular season winner(s) is determined, the playoffs crown starts us all off at zero and still time to grab the 14 week crown.

Standings for Week 8. MsD takes the crown:

I think it’s cool that the top 2 will be revealed during the championships.

Anyone know if the top 5 is already set, or will the results of this season influence the top few teams?

I assume the top 3 are JCA, Mt. Carmel and ESL in some order.

Interesting fact. WHEATON WARRENVILLE SOUTH all time is

I like your list, but I'd also add LWE. They have made 24 straight playoff appearances every single year of their existence.

interesting fact Wheaton WARRENVILLE South all time is 5-0, vs JCA, 5-0 vs ESL and 1-2 vs MC. ALL games were in the playoffs and or championship games. Not bad for public school team!

I thought that Iggy had a 4 star athlete on their team… did he transfer out?

Graduated.

For baseball tradition, I love the '59 Sox, the '78 Yankees, and Mantle & Maris. For the more modern era, I love the '05 World Series team and Shoei Ohtani.

Watched a lot of SF the last 2 days. They’re a lot better than the line is giving them credit for. I don’t get the sense these teams like each other much, this game will be close and Francis will be ready to play.

I’m not an NFHS member. Can you watch all their games on there or are all their games on YouTube?

No Provi/JCA love??

Argo vs Evergreen Park & Kennedy vs South Shore

I understand Rita has gotten a favorable path in the past, but I feel MC's sophomore team could get them to the semi's against DGN. LOL!

P.S. I am using hyperbole to make a point.

If MC loses to LA, what seed would MC be?

Oh my! You're not kidding. Andrew is the only other team in that group that plays in a decent conference; and they would not stay close to Mt. Carmel.

I don't like the idea either and I am sure guys who are swinging hot bats don't like it as well. I remember back when the playoffs could go as far as Sunday and the World Series started on Tuesday. There is no reason to wait this long. It would make more sense and does for football.

I can't help but ask. Do you think guys like Michael Kopech and Carlos Rodon wish they were still with the White Sox? 😄 😄 😄

Regarding Kopech and Rodon, I'm pretty sure the answer is no. However, I'm going to guess the White Sox are happy they are gone. Kopech, with a great arm, never has learned how to pitch; and the White Sox gave him plenty of time to figure it out. He is all about walks and homeruns with the result being a consistently elevated ERA. Rodon is definitely better, but he is inconsistent and injury prone. Neither is worth a large contract, especially for a low-budget team like the White Sox. I am a White Sox fan and I'm glad they are no longer with the team.

I hate the long break too, but the WS start was determined before the NLCS finished so they had to account for the possibility of that series going 7 games. Also, a Friday start creates an off day on Sunday so they don't have to compete with Sunday night football.

I get that…

I hate that it doesn't start until Friday. MLB needs to figure out how to alleviate the long wait.
I have no dog in this WS but Mookie is one of my favorite players, so I will go Dodgers.

For fans of 4A and below, I have tried posting those as well, but I keep getting an error & it won't go through 🤷‍♂️

All else staying same, Loyola moves up to #11 seed & MC down to #17.... projected to play Moline.

Fenton getting votes....yikes.

That is absolutely random. I grew up in Bensenville, didn't go to Fenton though. Unfortunately they used to be a pretty solid program in the 80s and early 90s. I know they've had a few decent seasons since then but all in the awful Metro Suburban. I'm going to say they have zero shot at getting a playoff win even if they happen to be lucky enough to get a CPS school in the first round.
