JCA Shut Out

Agreed. I came into the year thinking the Hilltoppers had two guaranteed losses on their schedule (MC and Naz). Watched the end of the Marist/Rice game. I would add Marist to the list of losses. Too big and too fast for this JCA team. Was really impressed with Ritter, the QB transfer from LWE. I still don't understand how Marist is in the Orange division. and IC is in the Green. For whatever reason, IC has gotten screwed in their Division placement, since they entered the CCL, IMO.

If JCA can get to 4 wins, I like their chances of making the playoffs. At this point, it looks like both Marist and Oswego have good chances of going undefeated, which would pump up the Hilltoppers' playoff points. If I had to predict right now, I think Fenwick wins on Friday, and JCA goes into Week 9 with 3 wins needing to beat Provi in New Lenox to get to 4. A lot is riding on this Fenwick game. The Friars have looked good so far.
IC didn't get screwed, they were placed in their division the first year based on them complaining where to be. There is a formula that places all the teams based on enrollment, football numbers in the program and success within the conference.

Bears

I would like to know what happened to the Bears run defense? I mean it’s been awful this year. Yes the defense tightens up when the other team gets into the red zone but man they put themselves in bad situations by not stopping the run. The OL blows but I knew that going into the season but our defense was one of the better defenses especially against the run.

Cary-Grove 18 Praire Ridge 12 FINAL

Wish the Fox Valley would move to 2 Five team divisions allowing these two teams a Week 1 or 2 non-conference game. Would love to see them early in the year against some different schools.
How would you like to divide them:
1) Enrollment:
Group Big) Huntley. Jacobs. Dundee-Crown. Hampshire. McHenry.
Group Little) Crystal Lake South. Prairie Ridge. Crystal Lake Central. Cary-Grove. Burlington Central.
2) Location:
Group North) McHenry. Prairie Ridge. Crystal Lake Central. Cary-Grove. Crystal Lake South.
Group South) Huntley. Hampshire. Burlington Central. Dundee-Crown. Jacobs.
3) Location Again:
Group West) Burlington Central, Hampshire, Huntley, Jacobs. Crystal Lake South.
Group East) Cary-Grove. Dundee-Crown. Crystal Lake South. Crystal Lake Central. McHenry.

CALPREPS STATUS - SEE ILLINOIS LINK IN THREAD

SHUTDOWN NOTICE: As many fans of our site know, we are contracted to provide data (national schedules/scores/ratings/projections/league+division alignments) to MaxPreps. Recently, for the eighth time since aquiring MaxPreps in 2007, CBS went back into breach and is willfully refusing for some unknown reason to act in a legal fashion and honor their legal/contractual obligations in terms of paying money owed to calpreps. We are out of funds at this point and have been forced to cease operations.

As you'd expect, we are in the process of suing CBS to recover owed monies plus damages, but that will no doubt not be resolved until many months or years after the conclusion of the 2024 playoffs, so we encourage any section/state associations who were relying on our ratings in order to run your playoffs this season to apply any pressure you may have the pull to apply to the rogue CBS accounting department, to attempt to presuade them to finally start to act in accordance with federal contract law. Thank you and we're sorry it's come to this, but frankly it was destined to never work with a company owned by CBS. We hope to partner with a non-CBS owned company in future seasons, but it's presumably not reasonable to expect that a deal could be struck with another company during the 2024 season, but if you are such a company and have interest, are ears are certainly open.
