Western Big Six
Moline 55, Galesburg 10 - Galesburg had hung with some people this year. Moline got a pick-six on the first drive and never looked back, in one of their best performances of the year.
Sterling 54, Rock Island 19 - It seems like the Warriors heard how Moline was doing, and just clocked a real contender in Rock Island. Fearsome performance from Sterling.
UTHS 42, Alleman 6 - This one was only 6-0 at halftime. Good for UT to get their first win.
Quincy 35, Geneseo 17 - Geneseo scored the last 14 points of the game to make this look closer, but Quincy certainly looked nice and have effectively clinched a playoff spot.
I was 4-0 last week. This week:
Moline over Sterling - this one is just what was anticipated at the start of the year, the conference championship game. (The winner clinches at least a share of the Big Six title.) I think Moline, at home, is a slight favorite. Anything could happen. Gonna be a great one.
Rock Island over Geneseo - If it wasn't for Moline-Sterling, this would be the game of the week. It's a must-win for both 4-3 teams, as both have tough games next week (Rocky goes to Quincy, while Geneseo faces Moline). The winner basically clinches a playoff spot, while the loser looks likely to be out. I think the Rocks will rise up to get this one, but again, any result would not surprise me.
UTHS over Galesburg - The Streaks took this game last year but they looked really bad against Moline, while the Panthers rediscovered their offense in the second half last week. A nice bit of good news for whichever team wins this one.
Quincy over Alleman - A nice get-healthy game for Quincy going into the playoffs (likely 6A but possibly 7A), as the Devils will hope to get to 7-2 and possibly host a game.

TRAC
Princeton 56, St. Bede 7 - A Tiger win wasn't a surprise, but a 40-point win was a shock. St. Bede is still a good team, but Princeton... scary, scary, scary. Their next home game should be a first-round home game and you can bet they will be pumped.
Kewanee 35, Mendota 34 - This conference has a lot of solid teams but not a lot of separation in the middle, and this proves it. The Boilermakers keep their slim playoff hopes alive at least for another week.
Erie-Prophetstown 33, Bureau Valley 0 - This one looks about right. BV is falling apart.
Newman 20, Hall 18 - Newman scored a touchdown on the last play of the game, showing how close these teams are. Huge win for Newman, crushing for Hall.
Monmouth-Roseville got the forfeit win.
Morrison 55, Orion 13 - This one was every bit as shocking as Princeotn. I didn't think Morrison would win - I didn't think in a million years they'd running-clock Orion. Meantime, Orion's playoff shot is basically dead.
Rockridge 35, Sherrard 21 - Rockridge has semeed to be slowing down for the last three weeks, though the Tigers are definitely showing more pluck.
I was 4-2 last week (missed on Kewanee and Morrison). This week:
Rockridge over Kewanee - The Rockets should certainly be on upset alert this week, as Kewanee has a slim shot at the playoffs if they win out. But I can't pick against Rockridge, especially in Rock Island County.
Orion over Sherrard - Again, Orion ought to be on upset alert, and I have no faith in Orion, but they do seem better than Sherrard.
Morrison over LeRoy - This game is at home and Morrison will make the 1A playoffs if they can win this game and next week against Erie-Prophetstown. I think the Mustangs get to 4-4 at least.
Erie-Prophetstown over Monmouth-Roseville - a must-win for both 4-3 teams, as EP has a tricky jaunt to Morrison next week and Monmouth-Roseville gets the enjoyable task of hosting Princeton. I think, at home the Panthers are a little better.
Princeton over Bureau Valley - BV is streaking down, Princeton is chugging along. This shouldn't be close.
Newman over Mendota - Mendota will be desperate, and Newman is 0-3 at their "home" at Sterling High School so far this year. But I think the Comets have some things figured out and they have decent momentum.
St. Bede over Hall - Hall is a daunting team when they figure things out, and they will be all out for this game with a 3-4 record and Bureau Valley next week. But St. Bede is at home in this rivalry, and they should bounce back all right.

Mennecke started at QB (first action since 1h, G2) and the offensive play calling went back to the Stone Age. MM got hurt running and is now out. Looked pretty bad.

Provi 16 St Rita 7 HALF, N/M

I started this thread so I could update the title. But I'm flip-flopping back and forth between this and the JCA game.

Having a tech issue here at the ranch will get the video highlights later this AM

The thread

Any idea if game will be streamed anywhere?

Darrion Dupree has 4 of MC's 6 TDs. This is the 3rd time this season that MC scored 40 points in the first half.

A running Timex?

Moline in control of just about every part of the game besides penalties. Sterling 40 yard passing TD on 3rd and long right before half and will get the ball to start the 2nd half.

Then things correct themselves.

Missed 3-pt kick afer some sucess.

At the halfway point in the season, there are 3 at the top and many close by. Week 8 should be critical with multiple toss up DKC games.




This week's games. Likely only one projected blowout this week. Please rank 12-10-8-6-4-2

How many different teams do you see play in-person each year? Are they from different conferences? classes? regions of the state?

How many games do you watch by streaming? Tv?? (per year)

Please nominate the Week 7 state wide IHSA Football Coach of the Week from Week 7 action. Also please provide any additional stats and background information on why this coach deserves this state wide honor from the Chicago Bears.

Thanks as always.

Great high school football game

Can anyone (Edgy?) tell me what a "trophy point" is? They are displayed on a member's profile if you hover over that member's icon, but I have no idea what it means or how it was earned. I'm just curious.

Thank you, in advance, for any information.

Glenbard West v. York

Arguably the most intriguing matchup of the 2022 season. You couldn’t write a better story line for this one - top teams in the state, bitter rivals, personal hatred, last years result - it can’t get better than this.

put your predictions and thoughts below

.

So which state-wide player had the best overall performance from Week 4 of the IHDSA football season? and should be named the Chicago Bears weekly award winner?
