I'm off to a tough start on the hunt for Upsets this year, but that all changes tonight. This week we'll go out to the West Suburban Silver for a conference schedule opening battle. This week's upset is...... The 0-2 Hilltoppers of Glenbard West over the undefeated #7 ranked Trojans of Downers Grove North. The Hitters are winless so far,but they've played 2 monsters in Batavia and Loyola. Their problem has been defense, which is usually their strong point. DGN on the other hand has not given up a point yet this year. However, they haven't been close to tested. The Hitters are not O'Fallon or DGS. I like visiting Glenbard West tonight. Final score Hitters 28 - DGN 21. That's this week's upset. What are your thoughts and who is your upset?

Carmel of Mundelein makes the journey south and guts out a win against Providence.
I’m going to pile on the puffy chested Foxes of Yorkville. Give me Joliet West.
In most years, that would be an upset. This year, I feel JTW is the definite favorite.
I'm 2-0 so far this year, so lets go for the trifecta. I kinda like Montini knocking off Marist. But I am gonna go to the western suburbs for my pick. Ill say Hinsdale Central takes down LT in the huge rivalry game. Go Devils!
What do they know.
FWIW, Calpreps has West with a 92% chance of winning and a predicted score of 28-7. Based on results so far this year, I think most locals would have West as the favorite.Per Calpreps:
regular season (neutral field)
[2024] Naperville North (Naperville, IL) 31 (74%), [2024] Lockport (IL) 21 (26%)
Im doing even worse. 😂 😂 They do play Nequa
regular season (neutral field)
[2024] Neuqua Valley (Naperville, IL) 22 (53%), [2024] Lockport (IL) 21 (47%)
Although it will not happen, I'll take NAZ over MC.
That would really solidify LWE, CG and ESL as the top 3 teams in the state.

GBW is dealing with a lot of significant injuries from what I've heard. So this prediction would be even more exceptional!
Rolling Meadows over Glenbrook North
Hersey over Maine South in a tight one. Think MS might look past them with the rematch from last years playoffs with Barrington coming up next week
Meta is undefeated and hungry while Washington is still having new guys learning... Bold but not too bold. 7.5 on the Josh Pate Boldness scale!
What would Josh Pate say about this. Well Meemaw got tipsy once in a while!
I posted in the Naz/MC thread my heart say Naz 31 MC 28, but my head say MC 35 Naz 27. Still going with my heart.
I was running down my list and had to pick one. That's my personal joy for the week. Not because it's Rochester losing, but picking an upset. I don't get into the northern schools as much so I'm less comfortable making picks with them involved. The CS8 needs some new spice. The Railers could provide such seasoning this evening...
If it helps you feel any better, my 2nd place upset pick, and it was close...
Williamsville 28
Byron 27
Byron goes for 2 after time expires, Bullets make the stand. Happy trails back to the old country, Tigres.
Not to derail the thread so if and it’s a BIG IF the lowly Roadrunners shock the world and slay the mighty Goliath of 7A, I’d like to revisit in another thread and pick your brain as to where that would put Naz. Its probably not going to happen so you’re off the hook but would be an interesting topic nonetheless.Although it will not happen, I'll take NAZ over MC.

I appreciate your courage, but Williamsville is going to get throttled 🤣
