    WSC Semifinal Pick 'Em

    If you would have asked me at the beginning of the season if the WSC would still have 2 teams playing this weekend, I would have said yes, and one of those teams I would have said would be York. And here we are, for the second straight season, with 2 teams from the WSS playing in the semi-final...

    WSC Wk 1 Playoff 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...

    WSC Week 3 Pick 'Em

    Week 3 is the start of Conference play, with 1 cross-over game per week. This week, that Crossover is York at Downers Grove South. While I don't mean to downplay the Gold division, the only toss up game to me is Morton at Proviso East. Silver, however, has 2 big match-ups. Downers Grover North...

    WSC Week 2 Pick 'em

    Week 2 brings us 12 games across the conference. Some interesting ones to highlight - DGN @ DGS, which is always a spirited, inter-district match up; Hinsdale Central @ Bolingbrook that could have early season impact on playoff qualifying; LT vs. WWS, as Lyons needs to show who they really are...

    WSC Week 1 Pick 'em

    After several requests, I'll go ahead and continue the weekly WSC Prediction Thread. Each week on Monday (or early Tuesday morning), I will start the weekly thread – please be patient, as I do have a life/job/responsibility outside of HS football and this board 😉. Picks will be due before...

The stadium is sure to be a raucous, exciting...
