That's such a weird conference. The top tier pounds the middle tier teams and those middle tier teams destroy the lower level teams. Look what happened to WA when they left and most here feel the SPC is average at best as well.Haven’t seem em play but they’ve been beating up on everybody they play based on the scores I’ve seen. I know theres questions towards SE’s schedule and quality of conference but seems like this team is more underrated than overrated in my opinion.
AVERAGE AT BESTAnyone seen them play?
If they draw one of the 3-4 teams they can beat in the field.Probably the 2nd.

I was referring to West Aurora, who before coming to the SPC were 9-0 a few times in the UEC.Not familiar with WA (believe that is wheaton academy?) so im ignorant there.
I’ve been following Upstate Eight conf from afar last few seasons, very little tape mostly just reading the scores and daily herald articles, but agree it’s a wierd conf.. some of the bottom teams really struggle, and the top teams haven’t done a ton in the playoffs. Still teams and programs can get better, we’ll see if South Elgin takes a step, sounds like most think no lol.
Upstate Eights other top teams (who SE blew out) Glenbard South and Glenbard East, both 6-1, play each other tomorrow night in Lombard for 2nd place. Should be fun.
They can definitely beat more teams than that. They could get a bad draw, but it looks like they are going to be 2 seed (they aren't losing in conference). i wouldn't be surprised if they play a conference team.If they draw one of the 3-4 teams they can beat in the field.
Respect is earned no? Have they ever made it out of the 2nd round? Not trying to be harsh but that conference stinks on ice.South Elgin is the Rodney Dangerfield of IHSA football
I know nothing about him or where he has coached. What other high schools has he coached?Typical Dragon Teonic team
Don't tell Micah Jones they can score points on Warren!they can score points on anyone. question is can they stop a sophisicated offense. Id say they are big dogs to 5 or 6 playoffs teams. A toss up game against 8 or 9 and should beat the rest. Like other posters say, it depends on the draw.
Pretty sure York and Hersey and maybe a junior collegeI know nothing about him or where he has coached. What other high schools has he coached?
I’m gonna root for them for that name alone!Typical Dragon Teonic team
He was the last Harper College coach, then Hersey, Larkin, and now South ElginI know nothing about him or where he has coached. What other high schools has he coached?
Don't know his background, is typical a good thing? What does that mean?Typical Dragon Teonic team
Well aware, from Aurora and played in the UEC in the 80's. I did think they had another 9-0, but that must have been 2018 I was thinking of.Just to clarify. West Aurora was a member of the Upstate 8 from its inception until 1997 when they moved to the DVC. Their best U-8 record was 8-1 in both 1983 and 1984.
In 2014, they returned to the Upstate 8. Their only 9-0 record was in 20016; in 2018 they were 8-1.
Historically, teams from the Upstate 8 have not fared well in the playoffs. Bartlett and Lake Park reached the semi-finals at least once. St Charles North is the only conference member to appear in a championship game. Only time will tell whether South Elgin can best these results.
If that's the case, then I was coaching against you on the Lake Park sidelines. Did you play before or after John Wrenn?Well aware, from Aurora and played in the UEC in the 80's. I did think they had another 9-0, but that must have been 2018 I was thinking of.
After, late 80's (Schindell and then Gavigan)If that's the case, then I was coaching against you on the Lake Park sidelines. Did you play before or after John Wrenn?
Pretty sure Batavia won 2 state championships (2013 and 2017) while they were a member of the Upstate 8.Just to clarify. West Aurora was a member of the Upstate 8 from its inception until 1997 when they moved to the DVC. Their best U-8 record was 8-1 in both 1983 and 1984.

Incorrect. they were 9-0 in 1936, 1946, and 1949. How soon we forget! 🙃Just to clarify. West Aurora was a member of the Upstate 8 from its inception until 1997 when they moved to the DVC. Their best U-8 record was 8-1 in both 1983 and 1984.

I rememberIncorrect. they were 9-0 in 1936, 1946, and 1949. How soon we forget! 🙃
Wasn't Geneva also in the upstate 8 when they played in the finals against East St Louis or was that before?Pretty sure Batavia won 2 state championships (2013 and 2017) while they were a member of the Upstate 8.
You are absolutely right! No disrespect to Batavia was meant. I tend to remember the "old" Upstate 8 since Geneva and Batavia joined at about the time I was finishing my coaching career at LP. I never coached a game against either of those programs while I coached many against the Aurora's, Elgin's, and Chuck's. And DeKalb!Pretty sure Batavia won 2 state championships (2013 and 2017) while they were a member of the Upstate 8.
I wouldn't remember since I was born in 1949. And, that was long before the Upstate 8 which was formed in 1963Incorrect. they were 9-0 in 1936, 1946, and 1949. How soon we forget! 🙃
That was before in 2008 when they were in the Western Sun Conference. Batavia finished in 2nd in 2006 in the WSC.Wasn't Geneva also in the upstate 8 when they played in the finals against East St Louis or was that before?
I was gonna say... Geeeesh..Pretty sure Batavia won 2 state championships (2013 and 2017) while they were a member of the Upstate 8.
Fermilab is not quite as fun.I was gonna say... Geeeesh..
Thought for sure Heisenberg would've corrected that, but I guess not..
Good thing Micah Six Flaggs isn't from a Batavia
They do have Buffalo's or is the political correct name Bison..Fermilab is not quite as fun.
