To add to what Rocksoup said above, there is another way to edit the thread title.

Ussuming you're the thread originator, if you click Edit on your very 1st post, this also opens the thread title for Editing. I didn't really understand what Rocksoup said, but it probably works.

Edit: I checked RockSoup's method and it appears to work also, at least for the originator. : )

I do not want to pay NFHS. Might pay for the daily subscription to watch the games in Canton via another service.

Hope this ends up happening!

In the interest of retaining a tradition, I propose to announce a winner of The King's Challenge as well as the winner of two other categories. This will be done in a manner designed to save a large amount of time and therefore make the process manageable. If it cannot be done successfully in the abbreviated manner, then the attempt will be ended. This contest is not affiliated with Edgy's bracket challenge and therefore has no effect on the awards he will be providing in association with his contest.

Here are the three categories:
1) The King's Challenge - The top aggregate point total for classes 8A, 7A, 6A and 5A combined.
2) The Small School Champion - The top aggregate point total for classes 4A, 3A, 2A and 1A combined.
3) The Overall Champion - The top aggregate point total for all eight classes.

The Process - The brackets of ten contestants will be reviewed and totaled. These contestants will be the individual winners for each of the eight classes, plus the bracket for Tim O'Halloran, plus the bracket of Pierre Garesche. Of these ten contestants, the highest point total in each of the three categories described above will be posted by 7:00 p.m. on Monday, November 28th. (Self Reporting) Anyone wishing to compete in this challenge will need to add up their own point totals for one or more of the three categories described above. If, and only if, your point total(s) matches or exceeds the point total previously posted by me for that category, then please post your point total as a reply to my post. Please include the name you used for your brackets if it is different than the name displayed in your reply. Contestants will have two days to self-report their qualifying point total(s). Replies must be posted by 11:59 p.m. on Wednesday, November 30th. I will review the replies and audit the possible winners for accuracy. The top point total for each of the three categories will be posted sometime on or before Friday, December 2nd. The tie breaker will be whichever complete set of brackets was submitted first.

Key Aspects - First, you will need to self-report your qualifying score in order to be considered. Second, please only report a qualifying score that meets or exceeds the previously posted score. I hope to need only to audit a handful of scores in each category, not review 20 to 30 posts showing scores that did not match the top score already posted.

Finally, if someone is planning to do a full compilation and list in relation to The King's Challenge, as was done in the past, I will gladly step aside in deference to their work. Please just let me know.

Thank you!!

Also of note.....I've entered my entire 1A thru 8A selections for the Bracket Challenge

Collinsville will lose.

What's the 411 on Jacobs?

Per Deadspin Cardinal Ritter has fired the entire coaching staff and will forfeit the rest of the season.
dumb decisions by coaching staff unfortunately will hurt the players and their futures.

Anyone have any all conference team selections

This is my dream playoffs for MS.

Round 1 - Find a way to beat The Brook and stay healthy. (Meeting Bones a plus)

Round 2- Pretty please don’t make us go to Belleville!! I’ll take the undefeated team any day.

Quarters- Beating GBS once a year is great. Twice in a year amazing!! Or the Hitters @ beautiful Duchon Field

Semifinals- After Beast dispatches Warren, they are so beat up that we are on equal ground with them.

Championship- Hollywood of course!!

The chances of this happening are probably not great, but I can dream.
Anyone else have a dream?

Lots of really strong names here and make sure to check out my work over at Marquee Network as well today!

Lincoln-Way Central looking for new coach.
Let the speculations begin

I think the ACTs are the same day again so no game time changes, LMAO

Well that escalated quickly, I mean it really got out of control……How did we blow through 9 weeks like that.

1 - That we thought we knew how the NLCC would end up and we are wrong.
2 - That Maine S and LWE win the “we’re gonna try and screw up everyone’s bracket award- just kidding.”
3 - That Morris, well something happened there.
4 - That the hook and ladder is one of the great plays in football - Iggy thinks so, Fenwick not so much.
5 - That I hadn’t seen a Friday week 9 like this in a long time and it was glorious
6 - That Montini needs to go back to the Coach A days.
7 - That Mt Carmel wins the battle and likely won’t be tested again.
8 - That something just didn’t feel right about 75F football this past weekend.
9 - That all but one 2021 champion didn’t make the 2022 field and only 2 runners up missed.
10 - That there are no guarantees once the playoffs start.

Best of luck to the 256 teams that get to keep playing.

Through week 7 (for playoff eligible schools)

Offensive points scored

Reed-Custer 418
SHG 386
Peoria 380
Mt. Carmel (downstate) 376
Lena-Winslow 376
Princeton 375

Defensive points allowed

Kankakee 22
Eureka 31
Reed-Custer 32
Decatur St. Teresa 33
Virden (North Mac) 36
Glenbard East 36
Camp Point Central 36

Looks like there will be a couple great round two matchups and huge quarterfinal matchups! IC is the favorite but I wouldn’t count out Princeton and I really wouldn’t count out reed custer!!

Friday: Bolingbrook at Swagger High

Sat: Decatur MacArthur at Peoria

Also might stop in at Wilmington on my way home from P Town.

I just plotted the 4A qualifiers (to date) on the map. The 16 in the Southern bracket would include Morris, Coal City, SHG, and Rochester. Geneseo just misses the south by about a mile. I mean, you'd have to pull out the longitude and latitude map lines because it's that close. The South could be LOADED. Just a novice's look at the current map. But please check it for your self.

I'll update this listing when needed. Any questions issues/leads email me edgytim@edgytim.com or DM me on Twitter @EdgyTim
