I didn't see a thread on this, but I know they are starting to come out.
SF has Kenwood week 1 again. No week 2 game yet or at least not released. I assume looking for a home game, they have 3 home games currently in 2025.

FYI https://www.ihsa.org/News-Media/Announcements/ihsa-board-of-directors-february-meeting-recap-37

From the discussion items:

1. The Board reviewed and discussed proposals related to the Board Policy that governs the classification system, multiplier waiver, and success adjustment. The Board asked that the proposals be updated to reflect feedback and ideas presented during their discussion today. The Board plans to review and vote on the updated proposals at its meeting in March, or at a special meeting called by the Board President later this month. It remains the Board's plan to have a classification policy modification prior to releasing classifications for the 2025-26 school year.

Feels like a fun offseason topic. I have two favorites.

Larry Fitzgerald had more tackles than dropped passes in his career.

Ty Cobb would need to be resurrected and go 0 for 2,530 in order for his career batting average to drop below .300.

Holding my breath on that one, I'm good with Fields but Jones from Bama would have been another bust like Trubisky.

I still don't like continuing to trade away draft picks.

I would have been most happy picking offensive linemen.with the first 4 picks.

It sounds like Mascoutah and Triad are joining the conf this fall and Granite City will be returning. It will be interesting to see how the split the conference for football. I can't see a scenario where they would entertain going to a 9 game closed conf.

Trivia

Good luck!

I accidentally purchased the entire year for the NHFS app

I want to watch some of the incoming teams competing against the Illinois schools

Please list any team that you know falls into this category

Includes my thoughrts on which WIU high school player was it's best for the Leathernecks

Includes my thoughts on which high school recruit for the Salukis is one to watch

In an attempt to gauge next seasons top teams, what are the numbers of returning starters in your team?

I will start

De La Salle - 0

All.... Instead of putting general information on the old CS8 2024 thread I figured start a new one for those that follow CS8 football on this board. A couple on non con updates. Jacksonville will host Highland week 1 Friday 8-29. A nice pickup for the Crimsons.

Rochester will not be playing Cardinal Ritter again in their week two game. The Rockets have filled that date and will be on the road at Mt. Zion Friday September 5th. Rochester will play at home week 1 against Gibson Southern out of Indiana on Saturday August 30 at 2pm. Rockets will be 2-0 as they enter the following week into CS8 East play. Ratsy

How far ahead was this brilliant mind with conference alignments and general advancement of student athlete development. SICA was just one example of his forward thinking which we sure could use about now. Please share stories of this great man.
