A real potential for an upset with all the LA injuries and especially if Edwardsville only has to defend for 3 downs instead of 4.LA vs Edwardsville is the best game no one will see.
LA w/o 1st and 2nd string RBs - 4-5 guys on sideline on crutches last Sat (RBs injuries cost LA a state championship vs lockport a few years ago when the 5th string back fumbled/ineffective)
Edwardsville is vastly underrated - look at schedule / lost to ESL, O Fallon and Christian Bros (MO stud team, top 100 nationally ranked)
I’m seeing Saturday 1pmJCA and PC play Friday night.
I haven’t seen Marist play but I have seen York and I wasn’t impressed, I’ll take Marist(4)York at (18)Marist, Saturday 1pm
York having a really nice season but does not play in the CCL Blue. They have good wins against some quality opponents and the DGN game could've gone either way depending on who you ask. Marist only real blemish was the game at MC and lost close ones to LA & GBW which they were in till the end. Marist is battle tested and will not be fazed by York imo. They handled NN last week and I don't see anything changing this weekend. I have Marist advancing to the quarters.
Who ya got & why?
Edwardsville has been without their starting running back for the last game and a half. Granted, he's no where near the stud that Loyola's backs are, but it still hurts the limited Eville offense. With that being said, even with their starting running back and Loyola without theirs, Eville's chances are pretty slim in this one.LA vs Edwardsville is the best game no one will see.

If Loyola is only allowed 2 downs and we're allowed 5 or 6, then I think we can get the job done! lolA real potential for an upset with all the LA injuries and especially if Edwardsville only has to defend for 3 downs instead of 4.
Marist turned it over quite a bit in first half. I think Marists defense held them scoreless in the second half.I'm usually not one to do tout the "if A = B, and B = C, then A = C" doctrine. But Marist played GBW tight and York beat GBW. So maybe York can make it a game. My intuition is saying Marist wins the game relatively easily. Looking for some 2022 tape of York.
Exactly, week 1 might as well have been 25 years ago as far as it's relevance to a playoff football game in 4/5 days.Marist turned it over quite a bit in first half. I think Marists defense held them scoreless in the second half.
You can find all of York's games on YouTube. They stream and archive all home games, and some away games.I'm usually not one to do tout the "if A = B, and B = C, then A = C" doctrine.

Or the Tiger fans could even open their homes to some of the Rambler faithful. Donations would be welcome to defray costs, of course.Edwardsville is a football venue and overall sports complex that all high school fans should experience. LA fans should be able to afford the road trip and maybe even an overnight bag for the hotel stay. No reason the stands for the visitors should be empty.
I think QND showed us all what Macomb is. The Bombers have a solid QB with a few athletes sprinkled around. But an average 5-4 QND who limped in on the last day ate their o-line up for most the game getting 4 sacks and by my count 8 hits on the QB. If Murphysboro has some dawgs in the front 8 and can score some points, they should pull the "upset."4A
Murphysboro (8-2) at Macomb (10-0)
This game will prove how good Macomb is this year. They are unbeaten and get another home game, but have mostly played 2A and 3A teams. Murphysboro travels well and played in the 4A title game in 2019.
I presume you've never ventured down to ole Forgotonia before, eh? Corn and children are the least of your worries. 😁Why? Children of the Corn type thing?
