Week 2 of the playoffs and things are getting interesting. Not a ton of Upsets in week 1 which is the norm. Let's see what happens from here out. This week's upset is, the unranked Blackhawks of Aurora West over the perennial powerhouse, 6 time State Champion and #13 ranked Hawks of Maine South. I'll admit to knowing nothing about West Aurora before this week, but I really like what I'm learning. These guys score lots and lots of points, and don't give up any. Coach Nate Elmer has got his team doing everything right. They have a Jr QB, Mason Atkins who appears to be a dual threat stud. He has 3 quality receivers, and that means lots of points. M.S. switched to Soph. QB Jameson Purcell mid season, and have played fantastic football with him taking the snaps. It's going to be a high flying game in Park Ridge tomorrow afternoon. Final score..... West Aurora 45 - Maine South 35. That's this week's upset. What are your thoughts and who is your upset?

Did they play any Option teams this year, thats not easy to prepare for! They Honestly are a well oiled Machine
The Rockford area not much on football, but the smaller schools in the northern part of the state can really bring it. Soooo many good small schools up there which brings me to what could be one of the biggest upsets in the entire state this weekend if not the 1A playoffs. I'm taking the BLACKHAWKS of STOCKTON over the mighty Panthers of LE-WIN in overtime. That is all 🫡
I don't think this game is very close, Hubs roll.
Love this..keep pretending to be a Morris guy yet pick against the Redskins every week. You were clearly the "I didn't play because the coaches didn't like me" kid or never played in the program at all. That being said, I will give you a small amount of credit...at least you're a consistent hater.
Rochelle is straight dbl wing power run there are no options happening.
Lol you don't have any clue who I am. Huge Morris supporter, but I know this is not a good Morris team so if sandbagging or the reverse jinx keeps the season alive I'll keep doing it.
😂 Pretty sure he's a Morris guy
Going with York over Oswego this week. Leaning toward DGS upsetting LT as well.
That's very surprising. If that's the case, then I'm gonna take Oswego with the "upset".
DGS over anyone with a pulse would be a huge upset the last decade.
Who is the favorite in the St. Laurence / Wheaton Academy game? Wheaton Academy seems like the underdog so I will go with them. If not then LWW over Batavia
I'll 2nd that.
I already have Oswego as my upset / surprise 8A champs, so this is a no brainer.
Many of the games listed aren’t upsets according to calpreps.
I’ll go with Cahokia over Waterloo

Although both of my picks have better seeds than their opponents, they are significant underdogs according to the computers. Massey has Loyola as a 14-point favorite over Marist, and Mt. Carmel as a 22-point favorite over St. Charles North. CalPreps has Loyola as a 6-point favorite over Marist, and Mt. Carmel as a 21-point favorite over St. Charles North.
My upset picks are Marist over Loyola, and St. Charles North over Mt. Carmel.
In light of the Brother Rice loss last weekend, I am taking on the mighty Chicago Catholic League Blue Division. We shall see.

I hope you're wrong on the MC pick, but SCN is all about the air attack and that's how you beat this MC team. Carmel needs to pressure the QB all night. Lots of blitzing and quality work from the defensive backs. I see a high scoring MC victory tomorrow. No way they cover the spread, but who cares about that.
??? Isn't 5 higher than 13???? To be honest I havent been in a classroom in 43 years so the new math thing may be confusing me🤣
Seeding doesn't determine who the underdog is in the IHSA playoffs. Both Massey and CalPreps has Morris by multiple scores.
I know....just giving you some crap🤣.....Depends on which Morris team shows up for sure.
4Anorth don’t feel bad the younger generation can’t even sign their name. Lol
Not their fault I suppose the schools stopped teaching cursive.
When I try and figure out who's who between 4anorth and 4afan
4Anorth is the intelligent one.When I try and figure out who's who between 4anorth and 4afan
FWIW, elementary schools in Illinois are now required to teach cursive.
