CS8 Predictions-Week 4

All.... Interesting article in Springfield Journal Register concerning the Chatham/Rochester game. I'm not familiar with the correspondent that wrote it but the header is as follows. Titan-sized statement: Lopsided win has Glenwood eying state

Yes it was a punishing dominating performance but in the article quoting the Titan qb he talks about state and November 30th. Kids wil be kids I suppose. Coach Hay goes a different calmer avenue with what he says. I have never been a big locker room material person. Not that they need it but if I'm Coach Sunkett I'm going to buy todays SJR paper and save it. Not sure if this Titan squad is a better then the 2019 team but both Chatham and East St. Louis will once again be in the postseason 6A south bracket . Ratsy
Kankakee may provide some resistance if they stay in 6A this postseason. That is, if they meet Glenwood. I do not see Kankakee beating East St. Louis.

LWE

pjjp- I totally agree with you in todays market. This should have happened in any of the 24 YEARS prior. That is why I can respect a Providence Catholic program who put themselves out there and played 6 or 7 years in a row during this span of development at LWE. If you could just look at it from a HS fans perspective it is easy to see the dream. The L-W West playoff game a few years back was a classic and is still talked about in the historical discussions of LW210 fans. I understand the reasons and respect the choices made…but don’t kill the hope! Imagine the crowd and financial implications.

What did we learn week 4!?!?

After making his IHSA Football debut on Friday the 13th, my daughter's Black Cat "Stinky" is now 2-0 for JCA. They weren't necesarilly the most attractive wins, but against a quality opponent, a win is a win.

He didn't seem to be concentrating and paying attention as much against Marist, like the Fenwick game when he spent the entire game on my keyboard.

Now JCA enters the hardest part of their schedule and Stinky really has his work cut out for him.

I suppose he could be convinced to root for your team for a small fee. He's usually willing to work for Turkey meat, Chicken Nuggets or Lactose Free milk. :)

Hero to Goat

I was out there yesterday and they had such an opportunity and blew it. I've never seen that place so packed. East grandstand was full and on the west side we were packed in like sardines. They've had attendance issues at games post pandemic ( I had season tickets before but haven't since myself), and that could have gotten so many alumni enthused, but they blew it.

CS8 Predictions-Week 4

All.... Estl last two games are with Edwardsville and IMG. The game with the Tigers is a home one and I don't forsee much of a problem with that one. So at worst they finish the regular season at 8-1 as will the Titans. An edge on playoff points to Estl. But it would be fun to watch a Saturday game in Chatham with these two. Titans don't want a return to the House of Pain. We will see. Ratsy
If The o-line of ESL do a better job of blocking and the defense wrap up and do a better job of tackling the IMG game will be closer then people think and maybe even a ESL victory. Will see but better th those those things mentioned will have to happen

I can't compare the 2019 vs 2024 East St Louis teams but can weigh in on the two Titan teams. The '24 team has an advantage in their passing game and possibly on special teams. The '19 team had a much stronger running attack and was bigger and more physical on both sides of the ball. Apologies to cornerrat who has heard me opine on this before, the '19 Titan team was right there with any SHG or Rochester championship team and still trailed East St Louis 28-0 at half before losing 50-28.

I have real concern for Lisle’s program (and therefore the current construction of the ICE conference) going forward.
Lisle, to my understanding, does not have any lower level teams, has low numbers on the varsity roster, and has been getting absolutely pummeled every week.
It’s really quite shockening how bad they are with their location.

Lisle and Westmont shouldn’t be this bad
