Would these games count in the IHSA's eyes for playoffs and playoff points?

CTK fans are fun to watch in the stands!

Their band members are so full of energy and can really dance well!

Will beating them count as a win for playoffs? Yes. Will they help playoff points? If they actually beat somebody.

It's not uncommon for a new program to have a schedule like this. Another scenario would be what Manteno did when they started, doing a two year phase in. Year 1, they were a roving freshman program that allowed sophomores to play, picking up games against whoever wanted or needed a game - freshman or soph level. Year two (2001), they played a fresh - JV schedule. JV mostly played schools in need of soph games, but did in fact play 3 varsity games against teams in dire schedule need. But their 0-3 Varsity record wasn't going to help anyone's playoff points...

The first full varsity (3-6) Manteno team actually had some pretty good athletic talent...the 2002 first year team QB had a baseball ride to Illinois as a catcher, the tailback had a track ride to Ball State and the key receiver had a baseball ride to KCC...But the best athlete in the class loved soccer and got a track ride to Iowa.

I'm guessing they will be joining the CCL in a few years?
