Play 6A. Would make for some great matchups.With the likes of Montini, SHG, PR, and others in 6A? Where should they play?
Isn't a petition up for 2 years? Is there even a choice?
Am I the only one that disagrees. I think Samson would run all over them and PR would make enough stops to win by 2 TDs. This game would get into the 100s though.Was last year the end of their two year commitment?
I believe Fall of 2015 was 7A but the strike took away the post season.
Last year was 7A.
I would love to see ESL in 6A for Fall 2017 season! Odds are there would be a collision course set for an ESL vs PR in the playoffs (or state title game). That would be one of the best if not the best game of the year across all classes.
Where do we vote, plead, cajole, (dare I say) Recruit to make that happen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It might be fun to have ESL in 7A if GW falls to 7A. That could be a barn burner like 2008.
Most would love to see the PR/ESL matchup we missed last year.
Yes that'd be another fun one. Coach Hetlet's 3-3 stack vs. the QB transfer and the other returning skill. Wowzer.
Heard ESL picked up a couple of high level players from a school right across the boarder.
Rock Island, BV West, Cahokia, Soldan, Collinsville and Ofallon have all contributed to the Flyers roster this offseason. Rich get richer I guess.
And many wonder why teams are trying to bail from the SWC. Granite City is already out and others have tried to get out for football.

Every school goes through addition and subtractions each year. Not many add over 10 in a single sport. I have a roster from the CBC game last year. Will be interested to see how many new names appear on the roster when I get over to a game this year. As far as Eville goes, their whole athletic program has to be attractive to outsiders. If I had kids I would move them there because they would probably be good at whatever sport they were playing and have access to a great education too.
My big thing with all the transfers is I feel like it takes away from the community when kids from other towns move in, for one sport, and take some other kids spot. A kid who grows up just waiting for their shot at play for the (insert name here) and then has a move-in show up all the sudden and now too bad. I grew up in a small town, which won multiple state titles in football. We had very few transfers and when we brought home a trophy, it was special. It wasn't an all star team, it was a team of home grown kids who wanted the same thing since they were little. When a team strolls out on the field on Friday night and a quarter of the team has never even slept in that town, it devalues what high school sports are supposed to be about to me.
For example, my buddy sees a certain player leave his neighborhood each morning. That player will be the starting QB, in another town, this upcoming season. It's a shame but it happens all over. Usually I reserve this argument in the private vs public debate, but it seems applicable in this case.
There are no high level players that transferred into ESL. Perez from O'fallon is the only kid that arrived with one offer (Jackson State).
What about the WR from Cahokia?
Have zero offers and he played for ESL as a Freshman and the summer of his sophomore year. He is not considered elite and will have to work really hard to break the lineup. Cahokia coaches believe he will go back before the season based on the level of competition at ESL.
They should play where there enrollment dictates! If thats in 6a, then get your popcorn ready! LOADED.
They may have the easiest route in 7A

For starters the best player over the last 3 years will be trying to go back to back.Please enlighten us on the easy route? To me nothing is easy when I comes to Illinois high school playoffs
For starters the best player over the last 3 years will be trying to go back to back.
I thought the best player was the guy who went to The U or the fellow from Loyola (cant understand why they barely used him vs Maine South)Who might that be?
