CS8 Predictions Week 8

Week 9 Matchups and a few observations

SHG (8-0) at Southeast (1-7) game to be played at SHG w/Southeast the home team
Rochester (7-1) at MacArthur (5-3)
U High (3-5) at Jacksonville (5-3)
Eisenhower (1-7) at Chatham (6-2)
Springfield (3-5) at Lanphier (1-7) game Saturday at Southeast

Southeast has some talent and returned an experienced QB and RB this season but are now going to finish 1-8 and tied for last in the conference.

The Southeast-Eisenhower game drew absolutely no local coverage. I have no idea how the game played out and didn’t get a score until about 10:30 last night. I know they were a combined 1-13 going in but it seemed to end up being a pretty good game.

Jacksonville will likely end up 6-3, but they didn’t show well at all against Rochester last night. Whether they end up in 4A or 5A, they will need to be much better to have a chance at getting out of the first round. I will say the same for Mac, who should be in 5A. A win is a win but last night was a poor performance. Remember U High lost to Springfield at home earlier this year by 3 scores.

Chatham should get a 6A home game with their 7-2 record. I think they have a reasonable chance to get to the second round but am unsure if they can go any farther.

After giving up 62 points to SHG opening night, the Rocket defense has given up only 70 points over the next seven weeks.

Was it back and forth and did SE have a chance to win late?

Ike had a big target (at least 6’4” and over 200) who had a nice long catch against Rochester who was also listed in the roster as a QB. Did he do anything in the game? Sorry, don’t have a # or name.

Thanks!

J'ville will be on the road for the first round, I would guess. I hope their performance against the Rockets is not a portend of how they will play in their first round game. I remember the beatdown Mahomet-Seymour administered to them in the first round last year. It was NOT a pretty sight!

Chatham going any further than the second round could indeed be tough. It seems that lately, the southern group of 16 in 6A has included the usual suspects (Lemont, Oak Lawn Richards, Crete-Monee, and a team whose name escapes me at the moment😁)!!

I also don't see MacArthur going anywhere. Given their struggles against good teams this year, I don't think they will fair well against whomever they face in their first round game. With their likely 5-4 record, they will have a tough draw.
