    WSC Semifinal Pick 'Em

    The West Suburban conference has 7 teams playing a 10th game this weekend, 4 in the 8A playoffs, and 3 in the 7A playoffs. The WSS representatives in 8A got a tough draw, as LT, York and GBW are all in the same sub-bracket. It guarentees we will not see two semi-finalists again. I'd love to...

    West Suburban Conference Mid-Season Outlook

    I'll start by stating this is all strictly my opinion. I figured now that we are 5 weeks into the season, it'd be interesting to look at every school in the conference, use their record, and look at their remaining schedule and predict their chances of getting into the 6 week playoff grind...

    WSC Wk 5 Pick'em

    Here we are - Week 5. The official half-way point of the regular season. If Hinsdale South can get a win over Willowbrook, they have a real shot at getting to 5 wins, even if they fall next week to DGS. Willowbrook coming of a loss to DGS is sure to be fired up, and not let the conference...

    WSC Week 4 Pick 'em

    Week 4's most intriguing game will be Lyons Township at Glenbard West on Saturday. It appears LT may be as dangerous as their pre-season hype, and GW.... is not. The second most intriguing is Willowbrook at Downers Grove South. DGS will likely be favored in their 5 remaining games, but...
