Ironically I’ll be visiting cousins in Highland on Saturday LOL
Is WJOL-TV streaming the game? Anyone know?
Highland has 3 very tall receivers and a very strong RB. They are versatile on offense. The issue with Highland is that 7 players play both ways including the QB,3 receivers,best RB and 2 lineman. That will be the problem. This game will be live on the NFHS site. JCA wins this one .Look for a blow out.Is Highland more pass or run oriented?
I would agree to a point. The key will be which defense has better success stopping the other's offense.Can Highland stop the JCA run? Key to the game.
Highland can put 40 on JCA.
Just said something similar regarding the weather. Memorial Stadium has a very open set up on the North and South end zones. It can be like a wind tunnel, if the wind is out of the North or South.Saturday’s weather will obviously play a key role in how this one goes. We know it’s gonna be cold, however, if wind is a factor as well, JCA has to get the nod in this one. As skeetz45 eluded to, the fact that Highland has 7 two way players can’t help them either. Is Highland’s running game solid enough to move the ball if the weather renders them one dimensional? Do they have any chance of stopping the JCA run game?

When was the last time JCA was relevant?
Highland kids played last year’s semi finals and the JCA kids were wrestling during Week 10.
Nobody from JC seems themselves as some sort of brown plague. Just happy to be here after a few down years. Hoping to give Highland their best game of the year and maybe, if lucky, steal a win. Nobody realizes more than us that this version of hilltoppers football is far from invincible.Well, when “southern boys have to play the Brown Plague,” it was to seem like JCA never exited stage right but instead remained always in the spotlight.
That’s not true.
It’s Highland with the better recent track record.
Agreed. This Hilltopper playoff run is pure gravy, IMO. Very impressed with this team's resilience and ability to perform in elimination games. I have no doubt they will be ready and will relish this opportunity. I also think Highland is very good. Still think it comes down to whomever's defense can slow the other's offense down. I think both offenses will have success. But how much?Nobody from JC seems themselves as some sort of brown plague. Just happy to be here after a few down years.

There seems to be widely divergent opinions on this matchup.How does one steal a game by 40?
I’ll take JCA big, this is what playing in the ESCC gets you. JCA is battle tested.There seems to be widely divergent opinions on this matchup.
Have to think Highland is favored here. At best a push. Any Hilltopper expecting a blowout win is in the clear minority.How does one steal a game by 40?
I’m not letting you play the PC game. JCA is significantly better than Highland.Have to think Highland is favored here. At best a push. Any Hilltopper expecting a blowout win is in the clear minority.

Undefeated team vs a team that got running clocked 3 times. Yes they have the schedule to their advantage. Maybe weather. Outside of that, seems like a legit tossup to me.
Do you mean that Marist and Nazareth were less offensively than Highland or for that matter IC? I watched film on Highland and have no coaching experience but your statement seems to be a bit of a stretch. Here's a handy little app. from a fisherman: https://www.windfinder.com/forecast/joliet_regional_airportI would agree to a point.

JCA's defense has been playing better since the ND game in Week 9. However, I suspect they haven't faced an offense as good as Highland. Weather could also be a factor. If it's cold and windy, that may negatively impact what Highland does on offense.
Should have been more clear. Haven't faced an offense as good as Highland's since Week 9. Seems like ND was a different team with Gavin out, and Metamora and Marion were not close to Highland offensively.Do you mean that Marist and Nazareth were less offensively than Highland or for that matter IC?
