    Glenwood Running it up...

    No doubt about it MIKE. I also remember some comments by one of their administrators after Montini beat them in 2010 relative to the public/private issue. I wonder if Providence will be rooting for them against ESL!!

    Destruction of 6A Brought to You by the SW Conference

    Nice discussion here, but just think if ESL had ended up in 5A. They would run more than the table, and you'd need a more descriptive word than blowout!!!

    Cary-Grove vs. P.R. rd.2

    Not trying to be confrontational Gene, but in Illinois "if you want to be the best you have to beat the best" doesn't apply as long as the success adjustment remains in effect.

    Richards 42 Peoria 34 231 4q

    I never did like giving a good team the field position Peoria was giving Richards all night with their onside kicks. I know that's how Peoria does things, but geesh!

    PR vs Simeon

    Right you are. The key to defending that type of offense is to stop the fullback and then work from there. The problem for defenses in PR's 2016 and 2017 championship years was the fact that you had Samson Evans at QB, so even if you were able to bottle up the fullback, Evans was able at any...

    Let's pretend we had 2 private only classes

    I initially thought that if the separation happens, would you really have a "state champion"? Then I realized that with 8 classes, you really don't have a "state champion" now. If the split does occur, will we see a push to somehow match up the winners of the public champions with the private...

    The CCL/ESCC Prognostication Thread - Week XI

    They do not play each other during the regular season (different conferences) or even the post season, since Mt. Zion ends up in 4A year after year, while McArthur is 5A when they do happen to make the playoffs. I think the close proximity of the communities and the fact that it is the "big"...

    The CCL/ESCC Prognostication Thread - Week XI

    Looking at the predictions for the JCA/Mt. Zion game, it appears WAY too much credit is being given to the Braves. Y'all do realize that they had to go to overtime to beat a 5-4 McArthur team by 1 point (31-30), right? The game was at Mt. Zion, and McArthur did not convert a PAT the entire...

    5A South - Round 2

    I appreciate your effort in providing this analysis of the upcoming 5A South games. Was not aware of Highland's run of home victories, but I think your analysis of the Rochester/Highland game is fairly accurate. As for Mt. Zion at JCA, I can see no reasonable scenario in which the Braves hang...

    I get your point, but you do realize that we are having this discussion in the first place because of the fact that the IHSA members have decided to punish success attained by 15-17 year olds attending a certain type of school.

    3 Questions

    #2. Was the previous rule 2 championship games in 4 years? Haven't changed my opinion that it is wrong to punish success, but things are what they are. If you are correct in what you state, I suppose the "new" rule is more reasonable than the 2 games in 4 years rule. The new rule also applies...

    Best Week 2 Matchups

    The fact that Triad and Highland would meet if both win flew right under my radar. I heard that calling Triad/Highland a rivalry is putting it mildly. You're correct, another Leonard Bowl is a possibility, but I think the odds of Rochester winning this week are much higher than SHG winning...

    Best Week 2 Matchups

    Thanks for the info and thoughts. As far as the Morris game is concerned, it was the Redskins' passing in the second half which allowed them to come back on SHG, not the ground and pound game wearing the Cyclones down. I think one thing in Triad's favor is the fact that SHG at times does not put...

    Best Week 2 Matchups

    "until they get tired" from scoring so much, or from Triad wearing them down? Little more info, please. I will be interested in following the line play, also. SHG has some size on both lines, but that does not always translate into dominant play. We shall see.

    Best Week 2 Matchups

    If SHG decides to play defense for four quarters they should win. The offense will score, but if the defense decides to take the day off, who knows how the game will end up. I asked The Shadow, and even he doesn't know!
