Q of the Week: So who is the Preseason #1 ranked IHSA Football Team in Illinois?
- Thread starter EdgyTim
- Start date
I am guessing that it has to be Flyer.
Their second string got a lot of playing time last year, and the program is plug-n-play - next man up. That is their secret sauce.

Im gonna go with Mt Carmel. Pretty sure I read they have something like 9 kids with power 4 offers. In addition, it seems like they have more talent transferring in than LSU.
Mount Carmel. Loaded with D1 talent.
1. ESL (always loaded with talent)
1A. LA (they’re always good)
Then LWE and then maybe MC, let’s see what the QB play looks like (and the secondary).

LWE will score a lot with Williams and their new WR. How's their line? How's their defense?
MC has the most D1 talent the school has ever had, but they have a new QB and this offense depends on the QB. Good news is the Secondary has 2 starters and a couple more with playing time last season back this year. Bad news is they let up a ton of yards last year, but aim guessing that will improve. New DC this year.
LA is Loyola but they lost a lot of noteable names as well. I know they reload but this will be the decent amount on the reload.
So jury is still out for me.

I’ve noticed they have not had the same level of success on the lower levels the last few years as has been their standard. Is it fair to wonder if there might be a drop in the talent level hitting the varsity the next few years?
I would counter with, wondering if they have had more kids playing up than historically? Just a thought.
Mt Carmel has to be with 9 kids with Power 4 offers. Besides most of the starters from last year are returning. Most were underclassman that played strong against upperclassmen of other teams. The secondary is looking very good with the likes of Braden Jones, Joey Quinn, Caleb Tucker, Tavares Harrington and many more top prospects.
Get ready to see some great football!!!

MC struggled on D last year and let up a lot of points
Elliott always had a response
You have to a sums that the D will be better… it lies on the QB
I think that people are sleeping on LWE and DGN
Batavia has a great QB returning and they gained a WR in the draft
I am excited to see how things work out

DGN and Batavia are the odds on favorite in 7A. Possibly BR if they move back to 7A. SR has a punchers chance. I don't know who they return but Normal gave MC all they can handle and are always very good
Unfortunately 3 of the key pieces of the puzzle that made normals special are graduating
RB CT Taylor is heading to Western Illinois
QB Kyle Beaty will be going to North Central College
OLB Jase Lemar Wilson will be joining him there
1,575 rushing yards. 518 receiving yards, 35 TDs, Conference POY, 1st team All 7A, you must have looked up the wrong player
Maybe they put his receiving yards. I know MCs defense was pretty generous last year but they were pretty solid against the run and this kid ran for nearly 200 off them so I know he had more then 500 on the year so I found his X profile
His vision was insane
I tried to find a few of their games on NFHS to watch him play
The quality was so shitty that I gave up
Probably your best bet his Hudl.

As you know, rarely easy paths in the playoffs. Minefields everywhere. Don't forget CG and I think Naz. Not to mention the Sequiots of Antioch
This thread will be about MC, because they are that good. Isn't your post a "hijacking?" LOL!.
Knowing Batavia, though, they don't care. They will take on anyone. In the end, they could petition up.
