Must be a rule change, a friend of mine kid plays on one of these teams and showed me a email from the coach saying he was petitioning to move up to 6A and it would be for 2 years. My assumption they petitioned because of all the privates that hit their multiplier and success ceilings at 5A, the thought is they could have better chance at 6A, good luck on that.
The 1980s were different, man! Mayor Carl Officer had bodyguards with Uzis.
I’m sorry Glenbard South did WHAT?

All.... Yes when you petiton to play up the rule is it must be for two years at the start of the new two year enrollment average cycle. Which would start in 2025. I suppose the mystery will solved and answered when the 256 postseason qualifiers are announced and slotted in their respective classes a few weeks fron now. Ratsy
Im pretty sure he is referring to the 2008 7a quarterfinal game when St. Rita played at East St. Louis. The Terry Hawthorne game
Last year Prairie Ridge beat Cary Grove regular season. PR got bounced first round in 5A. We know how C-G did in 6A.

In my opion this move is all about if they can have a chance to be competitive in the 2nd playoff game.
Good point, PR ran into the buzzsaw named NAZ, otherwise I think they make deep run in 5A last year, that was/is a solid team. PR plays a balanced schedule and beat some good teams along the way IMHO.
There are a few more key games to go NSC. I do not think Warren will give up the trone that easily. Stivie, LZ & LV games remaining. It will be a dog fight to the end for NSC Championship Trophy. To be honest I am glad the conference is stepping up. Lets talk in a couple of weeks. Things could change. Six Flags is still rolling !
Is the conference really stepping up or is Warren stepping down this year?
They also run the same system, so they know exactly how to defend it. 80% of the times their games are very close. I don’t know if that’s a good example. When Superman was there I believe they beat Cary grove on a miracle run with time expiring in the playoffs and PR was way better than CG that year. PR also blew that game vs naz, believe they were up even with like 5 turnovers. Credits to Naz good program and showed adversity was nothing for them.
The program moving up must be our friends from Antioch.
If Fenwick stays 6A I want that rd 1 match up but I doubt that comes to fruition, but it would be funny.
and 1A and 2A, and 3A, and 4A
We made a side trip in 2019 on our way to Mascoutah. We sat on the ESL side since our colors are blue and orange as well. Watched them demolish Chatham and had a great time yelling All Gas, No Brakes with the crowd. We went on to Mascoutah to do the same. Good times
These tired ol’ eyes watched Cary-Grove best Huntley 44-43 and looking ahead, the guess is that the state-title game will look exactly the same as it did in 2021 and 2023.
Six Flags shut down for winter. Didn't see this coming with 18 starters back from a quarters team but it happens.
The Friars may have something to say before this rematch. I’ll be very interested to see Fridays MC/Fenwick matchup.
Probably north.
According to Scoice’s
According to Soucie’s projections Antioch vs Fenwick 1st round.
And Andrew is awfully close to getting one of Mount Carmel, Brother Rice, or St Rita in the first round. Can't wait to see what they draw up to submit to the IHSA if that happens.
We shall see Cary-Grove is going to be really hard to beat. Huntley beat CG the last 2 years. A lot has to do with that they play each other every year
I was there, I knew this was BS so I went and rewatched because of the BYE week. Naz beat PR let’s not even pretend otherwise. PR fumbled 3 times and all were recovered by Naz. Thats 3 turnovers not 5 and 2 of those were a direct result of plays made by Nazareth.
I had time… that’s exactly what you did though. I don’t believe the intent was malicious in anyway but when you say “team X lost the game” that implies that team X was better and it certainly discredits the other team. Again I don’t believe it was malicious but Naz traveled to PR a house of horrors for that program to play a 9-0 team they’ve never beaten on their own grass (we don’t like grass). Naz was better and won the game and after our history with PR I won’t take it any other way lol.
I’m not necessarily saying this was the case in the PR v Naz game, but sometimes the better team doesn’t win, and that’s how upsets happen.
Head to head is the only true measure. What made them a better team during that game? Just curious on your thoughts. Not to pick on you but, I hear that a lot. The better team didn’t win. How is that.
My personal example is that Seneca beat Wilmo in the regular season. Additionally, Seneca’s best player and dual threat QB got hurt late in the regular season and came back as a not 100% running back. Because of the brace on his knee he got chased down and stopped on what would’ve been a TD and Wilmo eventually stuffed them on the goal line. Finally, Wilmington’s kicker made a 54 yd FG at the halftime buzzer and then made a 38 yarder at the 4th Q buzzer to send it to OT, where Wilmo ultimately prevailed. I’m as big a Wilmo fan as you will find, but they were beyond fortunate to win that game. Wilmo had the edge in coaching but it was mostly just some good luck that they won that one.
I understand but you are mentioning the amazing kicks from a High School kid that should get more of the credit versus being fortunate that a kid wasn’t 100%. I will also add the unbelievable hustle you described by a kid that saved a touchdown. His effort should get more credit than a kid being injured. Just my opinion but I definitely respect yours. Thanks for answering.
