50. Lake Park
51. Cary-Grove
52. Niles Notre Dame
53. Bradley
54. Morgan Park
55. Fenwick
56. Niles North
57. Glenbard South
58. Plainfield East
59. Minooka
60. St. Charles North
Thoughts on Teams ranked 50-60-
Lake Park has the Panasiuk twins on the line and this is a team and program that is getting closer and closer. In just about any other conference I would consider Lake Park as a conference winner. Cary-Grove so low? Still a great program just going to be very young in 2015 and will be better each week. I could see some early losses then they get on a late run. Niles ND has a terrific QB in Tyler Tsagalis and some solid returners back in 2015. Bradley always is in the mix in the SWSRed and will compete hard again this fall. Morgan Park is also going to be solid this fall. The Mustangs have some real talent including LB Sean Williams but getting pas the likes of say Simeon and Phillips is still a big move for MP.
Fenwick will be a younger team but still have a good core of starters back this season. The Friars will battle and my guess will be a 5-4/6-3 caliber team. Niles North impressed me this summer and RB/LB Barrington Wade (Iowa) is the real deal plus North has good talent besides Wade. Glenbard South just wins games and conference crowns year in and year out. Plainfield East is also going to be a bit young but I like the core back on defense this fall. Minooka has some key kids back including DL Blake Parzych and junior QB Johnny Carnagio. St. Charles North keeps making positive strides and has 15 starters back this fall.
