Wow you’ve got some great bulletin board material here...but that’s why they play the games.

I have never seen H-F referred to as "Flossmoor" before.

 

[Bowie50]

Looks good to me? What do the folks from the land of Six Flags think?

 

[King MJ]

S. Elgin is teams to watch is interesting. They are probably, by far, the most likely 8A team to go undefeated.

You trying to rile up Bhawks? I think it’s fairly accurate. Clearly I don’t know much about Barrington

South Elgin - Glenbard East will be great this season. GE beat S. Elgin 35-7 2 yrs ago and of course SE won the matchup last season.

Two up and coming programs, super excited about this matchup! Edit: Bartlett may also have something to say about this conf champ.

Lol...laughable. Lets see what happens week 1 when Bartlett takes on Edgys Glenbard South Team.

Well I would hope a team that wants to be considered an elite 8A squad would crush a school that typically hovers around 500 and is half their enrollment, don’t you think?

Things are heating up in the Upstate 8!

So what happened?

10-7 win is a win but wasn’t more expected?

 

[bhawks]

So what happened?

10-7 win is a win but wasn’t more expected?

Agreed and Agreed

Bartlett couldnt get any offense going. I dont have numbers but the hawks defense was on the field 70 percent of the game. GBS has a solid team.

Wow you’ve got some great bulletin board material here...but that’s why they play the games.

Took a look at the 15 teams ranked in Class 8A.
The games between two of the 15 teams ranked are:
Lincoln-Way East vs. Bolingbrook
Bolingbrook vs. Homewood-Flossmoor
Lincoln-Way East vs. Homewood-Flossmoor
Brother Rice vs. Loyola
Marist vs. Notre Dame
Marist vs. Loyola
Glenbard West vs. Hinsdale Central
The remaining teams in the preseason top 15 do not play another team ranked in the top 15 poll.
Warren
Maine South
Edwardsville
Barrington
Oswego
Huntley
If you add in the six teams to watch that basically are teams ranked 16-21, additional head-to-head games include:
Minooka vs. Oswego
Palatine Fremd vs. Barrington
The remaining teams to watch on the list do not play another team ranked in the top 21 in the 8A poll.
Neuqua Valley
South Elgin
Naperville Central
Three of the top nine ranked teams are in the same conference.
Four of the top 14 ranked teams are members of some division in the Chicago Catholic League.

My Carmel is not an 8A team in rankings. This was just the 8A teams
