ICE Playoffs Round 1 and Outlook

Wilmatucky
3A
#15 Stillman Valley (5-4) @ #2 Wilmington (9-0) - Rematch of the '03 Snow Bowl in Champaign. First time they have met since then too. I do not think Stillman will poise too much of a challenge. Cats should get some reps in but still be rested for round 2. Wilmo by 3 scores.

#10 Peotone (6-3) @ #7 Eureka (8-1) - Peotone just didn't impress me much this year. They lost to Wilma and CC which was to be expected, but I am not so sure that the Manteno loss is a good look for them. Peotone also hasn't beat anybody of note. Eureka only lost once, but I'm not convinced they played the toughest of schedules either. I think It'll be a close game, but Peotone won't be able to hold it together for the win. Eureka by 10.

4A
#10 Johnsburg (6-3) @ #7 Coal City (7-2) - Johnsburg doesn't appear to have any notable wins with the exception of Richmond-Burton. They also lost to a few teams that they probably should have beaten. Coal City looked tough against Wilmo and I think they have enough to carry them to a win. CC by 14

#10 Normal University (7-2) @ #7 Manteno (7-2) - I think Manteno was a fluke that came out hot, but got beat bad by CC and Wilmo. U-High beat Chatam and barely lost to Rochester and Bloomington. I don't think Manteno can hang. Normal by 3 scores.

Wilmington has a pretty decent draw to face up with Byron/Montini in the Semis, but like someone said in another thread they are going to have to play tough. Some of the tougher 3a teams won't let them get by with making mistakes.

Peotone even if they do upset Eureka would be done in Round 2 when they face Wilmo.

Coal City should meet up with Dixon in the quarters. I think their season ends there.

I don't know much about the teams in Manteno's quad, however I don't see them making a big run.

What did we learn week 9?!?

And just like that the season is over. Now the fun starts.

Here is our last regular season installment until the playoffs

1 - That Palatine soared to the top of the MSL just like no one predicted

Well, I wouldn't say "no one" :p

Everyone outside the Palatine faithful wrote them off after week one, and it did take them the first few weeks to find their identity. But since they did - they've very quietly been very good.
