Here we are last week of the season. Pretty easy to predict. Not much drama left unless we are banking on 4-5 teams getting into the playoffs (which ICE teams wouldn't based on playoff points).
Lisle (1-7) @ Reed-Custer (3-5) - What I initially believed to be a huge playoff implication game, is now irrelevant. Both teams playing for pride here. I don't think RC is good, but they are better than awful, which is what Lisle is. RC 35 - Lisle 21
Coal City (6-2) @ Manteno (4-4) - Default GOTW, but it won't be close. Wilmo trounced the 'Teno, and I expect CC to do the same. I guess the panthers might be motivated to get a playoff chance of they win, but it won't be enough. Loughran's boys know they need this win to get a slightly better seed in the playoffs. CC 28 - Manteno 7
Peotone (5-3) @ Herscher (2-6) - Peotone needs this one as well. Thankfully Herscher won't give them much of a challenge. Peotone secures a berth this week, but it's drama free and an easy win. Tone 35 - Herscher 14
Wilmington (7-1) @ Streator (2-6) - No contest here. Just a tune up for the Cats before playoffs. Wilmo 49 - Streator 12
