Burlington central can definitely give Geneva fits, BC is battle tested, they also beat Praire ridge by a wide margin. Cary-Grove didn’t get a huge win against them as well.

Everyone here in town knows they aren’t to be taken lightly.

I’m thinking it will be a good game. I think the ramblers edge it out.

It will be interesting to see if NC can’t stop J.O.B.

Kid can sling it!

Watch out for #10 Dan Taylor, a former TE transplanted to the RB position. Effective but somewhat tentative at first, he is now running with fire and fury.

Thoughts on Bloomington... they looked pretty good versus Normal West

My plans this weekend:

York @ Oswego
Fenwick @ DGN
St Charles N @ Mt Carmel

(Wife is out of town so I can pull this off)

The conclusion is very clear.:

You have a little too much time on your hands.

Rambler’s have the gauntlet this year ! Mike Fitzgerald (Formally of York - who gave the Ramblers a great semi-final game last year !) Dave Inserra (needs no introduction !) - MS -then you got Rob Zvonar ( needs no introduction!) - LWE - All three will be tough games for LA - and then if they can get past these three games - you still have the trap state championship game - where the winner out of the top bracket will be heavily favored to win state! To your question - Marist is good , they are big and they can run the ball - game is at home and while LA looks to be finally healthier - it will be tough win for LA. I would call the game even or give Marist 3.5 I think Marist will be pumped and ready to go !!! Good luck to both teams !

They absolutely do, but how many possessions will they get with the offense that PR runs?

Give me Fremd at Naperville Central. Both at 9-1 shy of undefeated by: one very late-game turnover from their +1 yard line (former) and the closest game anyone has given LWE (latter).

Thoughts from all you CCL fans?
If you are the Marist coach are you happy or pissed you are playing LA?

@MS4EVER This is a great matchup and should be an excellent game. Marist has been playing well all season and I'm sure the coach is excited to see where his team matches up with them.

Running the clock down might be a issue if that high power offensive is limited to being on the field. I watched 2016 PR/SHG they were high powered too and then they got wore down.

That is going to be PR's plan.

Seemed to work out ok last year. Plus they are more than one dude. The other RB, Knoll, had 3 TDs and had more yards than Considine in the Montini game as well as the title game last year.
