CS8 Predictions-Week 5
- Thread starter rocketnation
- Start date
MacArthur's punting is killing them... Glenwood with short yard drives is in gear. Glenwood 34-6
Glenwood and Mac game was closer than I thought it would be. I wonder if combination of wind hampering Glenwood passing game and a bit of a letdown after beating Rochester accounted for close score until the 3rd Q.
Finals
Jacksonville 40 Southeast 0.
SHG 63 Lanphier 6.
Chatham 34 MacArthur 6. Chatham only led 13-6 well into the 3rd. Mac almost always shows much better at home then away. Guess who makes the trip over to the Generals in Week 7?
Lincoln 55 Eisenhower 24. Looks like Ike scored either 3 or 4 TD's depending on their conversions. A small positive note for the Panthers.
QND 14 Springfield 9. A rare defensive battle in the CS8 looks like it went down to the final play. QND now has a legitimate chance to go 8-1. Next week's Jacksonville vs Springfield contest is really important for both teams.
Rochester 38 U High 30. This definitely went down to the game's final play. My "watch the first two series" advice looked good for exactly the first two series, as Rochester got a 3 and out to start the game and then scored in two plays. After that, the contest turned into an offensive back and forth. U High's QB consistently played at a high level, and he has a good mix of Receivers. As the game went on, Rochester got less and less pressure on him, and he had some very good moments. Rochester was hurt in the first half on offense by busted plays, several holding calls, and another mishandled snap. Unlike the '23 team which wasn't fazed by down and distance, this one does not operate well from 3rd and 30. In the 2nd half, the offense performed better. QB Tanner Beal ran for three scores and threw for one. Beal also played DB the entire game out of necessity as 3 Rocket starting defenders did not dress.

The Mac A's D line was dominating for most of the game. Glenwood had numerous balls dropped but they couldn't run against that General defense. Bad punting gave Glenwood lots of op's to score but that D of Decatur kept stepping up!
Your skyline is a series of blue tarps on roofs due to landlords not repairing their Section 8 investments. It's pretty much Maine St. and then fend for yourselves on the rest.
The lack of Jamal Bramer and Eli Carlson was noticeable on the Rocket D.
Scheduling better competition strengthens the program and also gives a better shot at gaining playoff points for a better seeding in Wek 10. For years, the CS8 undefeated champ could only garner 36 points. Whereas other programs were seeing no less than 40 points. This equates to better seeding
Simeon has not been 5A since 1997. They are 6A, sometimes 7A, and infrequently have been 8A.
Also, Ty DuRocher was out. At times, there were 4 Sophomores playing on "D". That will help the program next year but is a liability now. All the major injuries this year so far have been to Seniors.

Week 6 Matchups
Jacksonville (4-1) at Springfield (4-1)
Lanphier (0-5) at QND (4-1)
SHG (3-2) at Southeast (0-5) Game Saturday 1 pm at Memorial Stadium
Chatham (4-1) at U High (3-2)
MacArthur (2-3) at Lincoln (3-2)
Eisenhower (0-5) at Rochester (3-2)
Two key games with playoff implications. Either the Crimsons or Senators will get the all-important 5th win of the season. MacArthur and Lincoln still have playoff hopes but both have more difficult paths to 5 wins. The loser is unlikely to be playoff eligible.
The Chatham/U High game will be a battle of the CS8's top QB's. The Titans are the favorite, but U High has a productive offense. For the Pioneers to have a chance at an upset, they'll need to protect their QB and find a way to limit Chatham's high scoring attack.

It's almost like the info is right there for you on the IHSA website.
Clearly you're just upset that the town voted to stop allowing folks to keep their cows on leashes in their yards some 90 odd years ago.
Or, perhaps you're just reaffirming what I've already put in front of everyone. Rochester exists for one reason... as a haven... for pearls like Cigaros. Pearls who fear what they do not know. And what they do not know, well, is diversity. I guess you missed the part where I lived there for 2 years. I met lots of people. Some really nice folks, and some really nasty ones. I guess we know which side of that you fall on, which again only proves why you even reside there.
Keep your nose up (like the rest of the "new" villagers), tough guy. It'll all work itself out someday. Best of luck crawling out of the dumpster your football team is living in this year! We're all rooting for you!
Child, sit down. The only people who talk about diversity are those trying to hide their latent bigotry. So cool that pot down before it bubbles over. You're from Quincy, IL, not Quincy, FL. And don't gaslight as you talk about diversity while skipping over your earlier comment about how we would be 8-man if not for Springfield. So you settle down with your 86%. You'll be allwhite. Oops did I misspell something?
One can deductively reason you left Rochester because you speak Section 8 and needed to be around your peers.
Cigaros, to set the record straight, I had looked at Simeon's enrollment over last few years and noted it had been in the the 1300s. I incorrectly assumed this was in 5A range.
Sorry for the interruption, you and RoaminCatholic can now get back to being a disgrace to the fanbases u represent.

I never knew that I would use my psychology degree on a sports forum like this. Some have deep, unresolved issues with themselves, their towns, schools, lack athletic success which manifests here. As men get weaker they lose the ability of critical thinking and of acceptance. They become myopic in sight, mind and action. It drives them due to their envy of others success and it becomes malicious envy as to want roadblocks to prevent the continued success of the envied party. Here we have someone wanting to force a school into a higher classification to stem a schools success all the while, they enjoy a perk that private schools enjoy... 30 mile radius to recruit from yet not wanting to be penalize by playing up in classification. They are focused on this until they are blinded to the truth which causes compounded stress and will lead to what we have here as expressive aggression. When the state puts in a private school playoff system then the next step will be hostile aggression, which we have seen here. Rage and fury are next. There are dangers of jealousy if left unresolved. Some need to step back and take a deep breath and relax.
Relevance? CIMRY got none.
But hey! At least we know you aren't a member of that High Horse (Loser's) Supper Club Cigaros and his buddies pay dues towards. That's a plus!
Should also be noted, the only disgraceful thing I've witnessed yet, is a grown man trying to insult other grown men using abbreviated slang like "u" instead of the really difficult and tough to type out "you" most commonly used. Which you used prior to that point. How embarrassing.

First, grandpa, I could care less which class Rochester* resides in. I simply asked why they don't challenge themselves in the post-season, when it matters. "They" said they'll do it in the regular season, where they can only benefit from the seeding for having a less than perfect record. Seemed a fair thing to ask since the other "dominant" public in the state gladly chooses to play up. Not really sure why some many of you are pressed by others simply asking why... but do you.
Next, grandpa, we get it, you're on the bandwagon. You dislike privates. Blah, blah, blah. Thanks for chiming in. I'm not sure how you're the victim when it's literally downstate private's like QND paying the price for Montini, Driscoll, BR, MC, etc... I can name on one hand the number of kids QND's football team has had with addresses outside of Quincy over the past 30 years. I can name more than one handful of transfers to a certain 4A public school that were allowed to contribute day one without penalty. I guess you've decided which seems more fair... do you.
I did take a deep breath though, just now. I'm not seeing the results, doc. What's next on your chart?
U really got him!!!!!
This continues to be the most bizarre thread week in and week out.

I appreciate you apologizing for looking up the facts and still misrepresenting them by misquoting them and not cross referencing them with the other page which shows the enrollment sizes by class. And I greatly appreciate your disdain for people who make accurate claims and prove them with citations of fact. I will be the JD Vance to your Tim Walz.
LOL how did you know I was talking about you? But if the shoe fits...... I like private schools. I support Mt. Carmel and I have friends that went there, but when it comes to recruiting private schools need bumped up to the higher classifications. I like QND but I don't like SHG. I like Montini but not in 3A! The Chicago Catholic league is friggin awesome and I like them. Something has to give between private and public schools. Let kids from towns within 30 miles of a school attend without having a family move into the school district. Make it the same 30 mile draw and I will never complain again!!!
I don't see how you can hate from outside of the club. You can't even get in.
And this is why we will all look forward to watching Maroa drop kick you like Chris Brown did to Rihanna.
Would you put your children into Lanphier or Southeast when you could send them to Chatham or Rochester? Simple question right?!!! That should end that debate about anyone wanting to move into Chatham or Rochester to have their kids get a quality indoctrination... I mean, education AND good athletic teams to play on.
Would you like to explain how parents purchased homes within a certain school district in order to have their children in a certain school? Interesting how you would find offense to that given the fact the parents who send children to your school, not only pay taxes and buy homes in certain school district, but also tuition To attend your school. Albeit, significantly fewer are doing so over the past several years due to the lack of culture and academic achievement from your halls.
But yes, please explain how buying a home within a school district with high tax rates is offensive. Or is it just offensive because you had to move out because you couldn’t afford it?
"please explain how buying a home within a school district with high tax rates is offensive" I would like to see a response to this question.
Sure, easy when the question is loaded in a manner that those 4 schools are considered equals. But they are not. Give Lanphier and Southeast the same resources, love, and attention the other two get and then we'd see different results again. Parental participation, booster support, donations, commitment from the athletes themselves, coaching, staff, administration, budget... many factors are key into developing a solid program or district. And obviously two of the schools you mentioned don't have the same participation in those areas as the other two. But, our goal should be to work towards all schools being Rochester and Glenwood. Just my opinion.
I live in a public district, as do all of us, and I pay taxes towards that public district, just like all of us. I was raised within the private education sector. My purpose for attending those private schools was based on religious beliefs. Which, as we know, are not allowed in the curriculum at public institutions. So to answer you directly, I wouldn't choose any of the 4 schools you listed. But again, my reasons don't line up with the reasons given by those who turn their noses up to Lanphier and SE.
Most cannot afford the cost of living in Chatham and Rochester, otherwise they'd be the same as any other urban pub. But, that's the way those districts like it. It's white-flight, it's fear-based, it's a class thing, it's whatever you want to label it as. But it is what it is for the reasons we all know. And in some cases, not all, those reasons are quite nasty, for lack of better term there. If you want proof, just go sit in the Glenwood bleachers when they visit one of the Springfield pubs for a football game sometime. Or any rural/suburban versus an inner-city squad. You'll hear it...
I tend to not comment except for football but will this one time. I am a CG alum and at least some of what you said was definitely valid when I attended. When I graduated HS in the mid '80's, the non-white population of CG students was probably 1-2%. It is currently 25%. That kind of change ripples through a community and results in different thinking by at least some residents. The change in the student population is also happening to a lesser extent in Rochester, which has also grown in size just not at the level of Chatham.

You are correct. Looking at the Rochester enrollment in 1996, their first year of football at 520 vs this year at 754, this equates to a 45% increase in enrollment over the past 28 years.
So parental participation, booster support, donations, commitment from the athletes, coaching staff, administration have nothing to do with white flight.....unless you're insinuating only white parents participate in their children's lives. That is highly awkward given the fact ESL has their stands filled every home game and has some of the dopest uniforms in the state. Oh, and their community has about a 31% poverty rate.
But let's use an out of state example of a successful program in spite of economic restrictions....
Detroit Martin Luther King is the #16 team in the state of Michigan while having a 73% poverty rate. Yet they've won 2 of the past three (losing in the semifinals last year) Michigan Division 3 (Illinois 6A equivalent) titles. And, their student demographic in 99.8% black. Their parents participate. Their athletes dedicate. And their coaches educate. It has NOTHING to do with melanin content or financial security. It's about culture. Those schools, both of the examples I gave and the examples of success you gave, have it. Whilst the Springfield schools do not. There are ZERO excuses tolerated for the piss poor support the Springfield 186 families give their athletes in the Fall season.
You are correct, however, in that every non Springfield school which visits a Springfield school tends to outdraw the home team.
Hmmm. Well being the Navy brat and Army combat Vet that I am, having attended large schools in Jacksonville, FL and San Diego, CA I can tell you that the "Melting Pot" schools were better, less violent and actually taught subjects when I was a kid.
Today I have all the reports of race violence in schools and having worked as a correctional officer in IDOC for 20 years (which many black men looked at me as a friend because I did what I could do to help them. Treat black men like you treat any other man and you'll not have a problem), and this problem will continue until serious measures are taken.
With that said I think that you are 180 degrees off of the truth!
Today as a white, conservative, alt-right, gun loving, anti-government, college educated male I can tell ya that there is no f-ing way I would send my children to a city school......... PERIOD! Why subjugate my kids to THAT kind of environment?
I get it when kids get into fights, I had a couple in grade school (Beat the shit out of the kids) but unless you have your head buried in the sand or up your ass, you have watched the videos of "pack" attacks by blacks against whites. Blacks attacking teachers. Both male and female blacks partake in this action. BUT NOT ALL! Would you send your children into that f-ing jungle??? F*ck no you wouldn't!
Ya need to stop with the racist, leftist bullshit that you push and start living life truthfully!
I can say this as well, the black students/athletes at Chatham are respectful and work hard, both in academics and athletics. That's not the same, I'm sure, at Lanphier and Southeast.
I live 15 minutes from Mobile Alabama where my wife (a doctor) works in the OR in 5 hospitals. She has many friends that are black and THEY say the say things I shared in this post. They send their children to predominantly white schools because of the violence in schools.
While we are on this topic and since you open Pandora's box, if you looked up the black on black, black on white, white on white and white on black you will see a great desperacy (a word not used much today) in these rates. Why you ask? I will suggest you look them up. But ya need to focus on the athletic aspect of this forum and not some self-righteous crusade that you have placed yourself on because its friggin sad AF.
Most of the black men I've worked with, managed or led in the Army are just like whites. They work hard, play harder, love, care and have goals and aspirations in life. They don't want anything handed to them.
I have a buddy in Texas whos kid is highly intelligent and earns great grades in school. This kid gets bullied by other blacks and call "uncle Tom" for his success. You don't see this on the news you watch (I NEVER watch any news especially ESPN because they all are race-baiting, leftist beeeotches)! So take off your rosey glasses and actually look at the world you live in. These are not the times of when Martin Luther King JR wanted the black man to have the same things as whites. Today in America, blacks and other minorities are placed above whites and we still have problems. So stop fanning the flames of racism because a good percentage of blacks want to work and have pride in what they do and have.
I want to get this in before this thread is flushed.
What you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
