I’m 54 & loved it & lived it. They do it in Florida with the hurricanes causing chaos. Thornwood & Lincoln Way did it & it helped both make the playoffs mid 90’s

De La Salle forfeits Friday's game (9/27) to Fenwick

De La Salle suspends rest of varsity football season due to low numbers
De La Salle suspended the rest of its varsity football season due to low numbers, the school confirmed to Friday Night Drive on Wednesday. The school made the decision Monday.
The Tue/Wed first round games were fun and you got out of some school. But the Saturday2nd round games were almost always horrible football on both sides.
As if going 0-9 isn't agony enough, you want them to extend their misery by one more week and then go on the road to face a 9-0 juggernaut. How much extra "character" is built by going 0-10 as opposed to 0-9? Some simply won't do it, and I'm not sure I can blame them.
No thanks.
Schools in Indiana been doing it for years. They do a blind draw I think there. One year an 0-9 team drew a 1-8 team & another 0-9 team drew a 2-7 team. Both 0-9 teams won & faced each other in round 2. So in the 3rd round you had a 2-9 team vs an 11-0 team
When is the IHSA going to wake up and go back to 6 classes? Too many IL schools going 8 man, too many forfeiting games and wayyyyyy too many 4-5s getting into the playoffs. Last I heard, Soucie is predicting at least TEN, yes TEN, 4 win teams getting into the playoffs this season. I remember when 5 win teams getting in was a huge question mark.
So, the blind draw could also pit a 9-0 team against another 9-0 team or an 8-1 team in round 1?
Again, no thanks.
They will when a proposal is presented by one of the member schools and it passes by a vote of the member schools
Like 4-5 Naz who won state finishing 9-5? Many 4-5,3-6 hell 2-7 Catholic League teams could destroy many 6-3,7-2,8-1 & 9-0 teams so
Really??? No kidding??? Geeeeezz, I never thought about that so thanks, Chief 😂 👌
Hey! How many CCL guys out there want to go 2-7 just to prove Chief's point???
Especially for the team winning on Wednesday, the week was a total academic loss. The student-athletes and teacher-coaches were largely non-functional. I would be really shocked to learn of a return to such, also due to many contact and heat policies put in place for safety concerns since then.
There will be a Freshman game & a Sophomore game tomorrow night at Triton College against Fenwick. Not sure beyond Friday.
Blackmon said in an article that the Freshman team #’s are good. Now they just have to get them to stay
Those coaches should be able to keep or get full stipends (in my opinion) - smoe should help out on coaching lower levels and perhaps even go out and help in recruiting.
