Something so wrong in this conference.

I agree. Those scores are crazy then you add RB who is actually an Independent to the mix and they have put up points like their 70-21 win over Thornton a few weeks back but they did get handled by the top duo of Crete Monee and Kankakee. The Rich Twp consolidation has done well against the struggling teams but not so well with others and the Thorn schools? Ouch! Perhaps that District needs to look into maybe a football consolidation? But then you lose two teams from the Conference which is not good. Does anyone know what has happened to Thornton Twp Wildcats football? Are the Harvey Colts youth program still playing? Kankakee for a long while was in a major struggling situation but they have risen up and are very competitive with teams outsude the Southland recording wins over Nazareth and Washington from the Mid Illini.

Rich Township and the Thornton Dist, (T-Wood, T-Ridge, and T-Ton) keep hiring friends who coach, rather than coaches. If someone with some football and program building competence is allowed to be hired, those schools would see the same type of success as TF North and Hillcrest did when they hired competent coaches.
