Maine South @ Loyola

Or maybe the teams they struggled with early are pretty good. Looking at the last couple of games, I see the same team that was good from the start. Having your state champ QB is always a plus.
I think both can be true.
Early losses were to really good teams and they seem to be playing much better football of late.

MS with a favorable path to this point. Defense is suspect, think LA will roll. LA far better team now than earlier in the season.

Friday night quarterfinal games

Warren would be the lowest seed to make the semi's in 8A. Lowest seed to win the 8A title was Maine South in 2016 as a #26 seed. Edwardsville made the semi's as a #26 seed in 2017. Other low seeds to make semi's include 2019 when Marist made semi's as a #23 seed and Rice made semi's as a #24 seed.
Back in the 1-16 North/South bracketing days Glenbard North made the finals in 2009 as a 14 seed. at 5-4. Equivalent of a 28 seed.

I imagine everyone in Hallas Hall is thinking they did the right thing and patting themselves on the back. Not understanding how inept they are as an organization.

One thing that confuses me is why the kids are not telling Warren to get a damn stadium deal done? Now we are talking about the old Michael Reese hospital site? Once Virgina moves on to the afterlife they are going to sell. Get the damn stadium situation figured out, dummies.

Would highly recommend Lake Forest vs Geneva (@ LF). Should be great game, great atmosphere, good seating/view(s), very good concession/food. Depending on your location, an easy commute, just off Tri-State north. I would anticipate a very close, very competitive game.

Saturday night, I like Saint Rita vs Quincy. Western Avenue rough and tumble! Good luck, you'll have fun.
Lake Forest a beautiful venue. SR battle tested, don't think Quincy will hang.

You want old school football go see ... Warren vs. York ... for the Semi. I love it ... both were lower seeds. Warren 🎢 is the 27th seed. Just curious what is the lowest 8A seed to make it to the Semi and Finals game ?

REJOICE!!! I’m leaning towards attending Naperville Central at Lyons Township, does anyone have any intel on this one? I saw LT once at DGN earlier this year and they look great he part. No studs, just a well coached group of guys that play very good team football
Is the Stevenson at LWE game the better choice ? Where should i go Friday ?
I’m also hitting a game Saturday, still undecided on that too, but leaning DGN at Batavia, I’ve never been to a game at Batavia
NC/Lyons should be a good game with Lyons coming out on top. Don't see Stevenson staying close to LWE. Expect DGN to be favored but Batavia with the home field. IMHO DGN the only team with a chance to knock off Mt. Carmel. MC hitting on all cylinders with QB now more mobile.

Bradly Bourbonnais vs LW Central

This is a game that seems to be on no one’s radar

LWC switched coaches and within 2 years completely turned the program around

I know very little outside of looking at their records

IMO... Bradley has been flying under the radar all season as a very overrated team. The fruits of a very favorable schedule. LWC should handle this one rather easily. It's been a pretty dream path for both teams in the playoffs. However, it's always an adventure playing down there!
