    Q of the Week: Which schools are in the most need for a facility upgrades?

    They are the only grass field left in Classes 4A-8A for Southern Illinois. It is amazing just how quick turf took over.

    The best IHSA Football playoff formula

    This is a good start but needs two corrections in my opinion. First of all, it seems better to go just off of wins rather than subtracting losses from the wins. Doing so would leave an 8-0 team that did not try to find a week 9 game better off than an 8-1 team that played week 9, for instance...

    Day Drinking Caught Up to Me

    I think we mostly agree. Yes, Cary Grove had offensive success. No, it was not because the Flyers are unable to figure out the scheme. Anyone who thinks CG won because East STL cannot figure out an option offense is taking away the credit Cary Grove deserves for executing well. It was more about...

    Day Drinking Caught Up to Me

    Based on their 57-7 drubbing of Prairie Ridge in last year’s final, it’s clear they’ve figured out the theory to stop the offense. Even yesterday, they only allowed three scores (Prairie Ridge, the foremost experts on it, allowed three scores as well this year). In the second half, the only...

    3A Final - Mount Carmel vs Byron

    Byron’s offense came as advertised but it’s shocking to see this Mt. Carmel offense be shut down after not being stopped once last week.

    618 (Southern IL) Talk: State Titles

    Semifinal Saturday went fairly in line with what was expected, leaving the 618 with two advancing teams. East St. Louis will represent the southern part of the state in 6A and Mt. Carmel will do so in 3A. We lost Roxana in a shootout against Mt. Carmel and Murphysboro met their demise against...

    618 (Southern IL) Talk: Semis-Saturday

    Certainly a rough ending for the Hornets. They were only down 28-27 because they missed their last extra point and then to miss a game-winner like that makes for a rough night for the kicker. One has to wonder how close they were to electing to go for the touchdown instead from the 3 yard line.

    618 (Southern IL) Talk: Semis-Saturday

    There were some tough losses last week for 618 teams for teams such as Nashville, Edwardsville and Althoff. However, we still had four teams break through to semis: East St. Louis, Roxana, Mt. Carmel, and Murphysboro. Roxana and Mt. Carmel are both in 3A, so that means there will be at least one...

    Q of the Week: Player of the Year

    Roxana owes much of their 12-0 start to senior RB/LB Evan Wells. He has complied 1526 rushing yards off of 172 carries for 8.9 yards a carry. Wells also leads with the Shells with 28 touchdowns and convert 5 two-point conversions. On the other end of the ball, he has 36 tackles, 4 sacks and a...

    East St. Louis, Murphysboro, Roxana and Mt. Carmel look like the lone survivors. the Roxana vs Mt. Carmel 3A semifinal does ensure at least one 618 representative at state.

    618(Southern Illinois) Talk: Elite Eight Edition

    After that game last year, I'm certainly more open minded about the idea. But I credit Mascoutah's upset win to running a lot of wildcat with their SIU commit WR. As far as I know, Harrisburg does not have a DI athlete who can change a game like that. It certainly should be a lot closer than 40...

    618(Southern Illinois) Talk: Elite Eight Edition

    Entering the quarterfinal round, the 618 still has at least one representative in 7 out of 8 classes. The lone gap is in 7A, where there are only a few Southern Illinois teams anyways. We have 12 total teams remaining and there will be just 3 games played in the 618 this week. One of the home...

    IHSA - District Proposal - Official Language

    One thing that’s not talked about enough with this is that the one time this was passed, it took non-football schools to vote for it. It passed by a 324-307 margin and over 60 of those votes came from teams without football.

    Quarterfinals - Breese Central @ Rochester

    The Breese defense has impressed the last two weeks, starting with a 19-2 win over a red hot Cahokia squad. They followed that with a 16-13 containment of a Mt. Zion offense with P5 talent. Unfortunately for the Cougar defense, they will likely be on the field for most of this game. Their...
