East St. Louis Classic

Looks like Glenbard West and De Smet are set to play in one of the classic games this year. I believe they are working on getting St. Frances on the schedule for '23. Not sure if it will be part of the classic though.

All I know is fans need to go check out the Classic....one of the top HS Football events and always featuires some great teams....still one of my favs was when St Rita took on a team from Memphis and that school brought it's 500 plus piece band...just a great experience.
 
And Alcoa has an enrollment of 685 but play’s & usually beats schools much much bigger.They are 3A out of 6 classes & their only loss was to Knox West in OT.West was 94th in nation & 5A state champs

My friends at Alcoa wanted me to wish you Happy Easter & Thank You for the laughs.Obviously have zero clue about the Alcoa Football program
Happy Easter! Just having fun. You’re correct I don’t know anything about Alcoa. I wonder if the rest of the country knows who they are? I guarantee you the rest of the country knows who IMG is and that says a lot.

A extremely small private school here in TN that was/is trying to build their football program(2-8 was a great year for them) had 2 of their star players taken by IMG & am not a fan.This is a school where 25 players on football is a dream.And this includes 8th graders to Sr’s
 
A few years ago Alcoa 3A running clocked the team that won 6A that year.Clock ran the whole 2nd half as it was 41-0

I am not a fan of IMG either but like them or hate they are good and a true football factory. No one talks about the education or any other sport at IMG.

Lamarr. MO, is comparable.

The school has won eight state championships in football seven of them consecutive (2011–2017) & (2020), two championships in track and field (2013, 2014), and three in cross country (2012, 2016, 2017).

Thanks,
Alcoa is obviously a good program in TN. Small school but it appears to recruit heavy for football school.

All.... Yep with the same results. Most schools have a lane that is wise to stay in. Ratsy
