Morris could end up in any of these brackets come playoff time: 4A North, 4A South, 5A North, or 5A South (though 5A North seems to be the least likely). Should make the Saturday playoff pairings announcement pretty exciting.

That's why I love pairings night. With the IHSA system most teams know what class they're in and even their seeding, but with Morris being on the edge of class and direction it's always a mystery.

We're here, it's week 1. The season is upon us! All the fun, but stupid, offseason arguments are over. Does your team have a chance? What is their ceiling? If they're not a title contender what win makes your season?

Morris will be Morris and should be 7-0 heading into Sycamore and then I know nothing about the team from Grand Rapids. After that it depends if they go 4A or 5A. 5A they make the quarters or semis. They go 4A, is it another clash with Rochester?

MC is loaded. People who have been writing them off will be surprised. Among "the young talent" you refer to, there is only one freshman--the monster lineman mentioned above--and six sophs, at least three of whom would be starting anywhere. Even my Tarot cards reader predicts that MC will beat Loyola.

Who's writing them off? They are ranked #3 in the Sun-Times, #2 in the South town and #3 in Edgy's poll. Everyone has them as the prohibitive favorite to win 7A. No one is writing them off.

GAME: Flyer Grounds Rambler 34-7

crusader_of_90
Will RamberStream happen again this year? I remember they have a good rep for putting on a fine production.

Will it be available for immediate post-mortem streaming? My girls are in town and we will be busy. (Meeting Twin B's boyfriend this weekend ... an EE and he looks like he has no one in his gene pool who has ever played organized sports.)

JCA Hilltoppers Predictions

P
Agree that 5 or 6 is most likely win total. I also see the possibility for as little as 3 if things go South. It’s a tough schedule for a 5A team.

I’ll be interested to see if they go strictly as a power running team behind that big and experienced O-line or mix in the pass more than expected. QB Simulick is a nice athlete. I see him running more than last year’s QB. He can throw but he’s not the tallest QB. They will need to give him a clean pocket or roll him out to give him passing lanes at his size. Who will emerge as receiving threats?

The defense got lit up in the 2nd half of the championship game. Will the pass defense be improved. It’s always a big question at JCA. The D has a fair amount back and has a chance to be good. Replacing Dillon Johnson is the biggest challenge.

Looking forward to see how it all plays out.

CPL IS BACK BABY!!

GhostOfTheGhhost
It's opening week! That means one thing... HOT THURSDAY CPL ACTION!! And I am here for it. Sure, other teams play this Thursday, but we all know Thursday is for The Chicago Public League! On to the picks!

Catalyst Maria vs. Phoenix Academy
@Schwab54 has said for years that the Phoenix is always rising. I see no reason to disagree in this one. In all honesty, I'm looking forward to hitting the Steak n Egger across the street from Rockne Stadium before this one. Rockne dogs < Gately dogs, and you can take that to the bank.
Take Rising from the Ashes!

Chicago Vocational vs. Back of the Yards
Popped into a local adult beverage establishment the other day and got to talking to the guy behind the counter about the upcoming high school football season. Dude walks up behind us and starts talking Back of the Yards football. No kidding. Says he was working in the area and saw a bunch of summer practices. Said they look good. Of course I said, BOTY is always looking good. He, in turn, thought I was trying to change the subject and immediately started talking about another kind of adult establishment. Love the Big BOTY Energy!
Take Baby got BACK OF THE YARDS!

Kennedy vs Clemente
For the new people around here, Kennedy's mascot is the Crusaders. In short, that is silly. As a group we have decided that since the school is named after JFK the mascot should combine both the Cuban Missle Crisis and the Bay of Pigs... So Missle Pigs. I'm not into politics, but JFK's nephew has been in the news a lot recently. Seems reasonable to pick the Pigs.
Missle Pigs!

Whitney Young vs Corliss
No secret I like Corlissssssssssss. Also no secret that Whitney Young sounds like the girl in charge of a sorority rush at Alabama. Alabama could beat Corliss in football. Whitney Young can not.
SSSSSSSSSSSSnakes!

DRW vs Collins
Anyone else think that this sounds like a court case? The 42nd district court of appeals will be hearing DRW vs Collins in its next session. Just rolls off the tongue.
Judgement for Collins!

Any feedback from Whips on the Rice scrimmage?
I would say the studs would be Pierce (if he stays healthy) could be deciding factor on getting an upset over someone like MC or Marist
Other up and comers would be Liggins, Gray (QB), Parks, Mrocek, etc
Sleepers will be DE Stec, DB Brown, OLB Stack, WR transfer from Rita (Maxson) and RB transfer from Marian Catholic.
