ICE Round 1
- Thread starter Wilmatucky
- Start date
Yes, Balmer played. Hall D was suffocating though and way too many mistakes by Peotone.
Probably because the ICE is a heaping pile of garbage.
Also doesn’t help though that lisle and Wilmo played first round. I thought Peotone had a decent chance to win today. Oh well. Let’s just hope for deep run from our big dogs.
Lol sorry that was pre-coffee with a kid who doesn’t understand how the time change works.
I just get sick of people saying “ICE (or xyz conference) has so many qualifiers” .....doesn’t mean anything if you don’t get a few playoff wins out of it.
3A is kind of strange this year Round 1. The only "upsets" were the 8-9 games.
The lower seeds in the north you expect to lose...Seneca, for example, only played one 3A team all year, and 3 wins against Iroquois West 1-8 (0-9 Hoopeston), Momence 1-8, and 3-6 Dwight (who beat 0-9 Hoopeston, Reed Custer's only win). Eureka didn't play any 3A teams, but clearly was tested in losses to Fieldcrest & GCMS, hammered the public league team round 1. Durand Du-Pec coop didn't play any 3A teams, but Lena Winslow has what 3 Iowa commits, hammered public league team round 1. Paxton's only 3A opponent was Seneca, but tested in losses to Clifton Central and GCMS, hammered public league team round 1. Farmington played only 2 3A teams, lost to 9-0 1A & 9-0 2A, beat Seneca round 1...
Peotone & Lisle had the misfortune to play round 1 against true 3A opponents from 3A conferences...They are probably favorites against 9 of the 3A north...
Round 2...Princeton running clocked Hall in the regular season, so that game won't be pretty...Wilmington shouldn't have much trouble with Eureka. Byron shouldn't have any trouble with Du-Pec. Farmington hosting Paxton is a pick'em...

Definitely not a good weekend for the Conference. Wilmington and CC should get to the quarter finals but it will touch and go after that
