Wow! Hoping you guys are on the other side of the bracket again! I love my Ramblers but I truly believe that the state championship was the LWE MS game. Similar to HF LA in '15.MS 8 starters on defense.
Montini is 5A next year. I am demanding a SR-MC playoff game as well.8A
Maine South
Loyola
7A

NAZ

Not if the Publics have something to say about it. MS, LWE, ESL, PR, Pal, etc...I can't wait until Privates win 5-8 next year.

could see Montini in 5A, SHG in 6A, mtC/Rita/NAZ in 7A, Loyola in 8...
If Montini is able to get to 5 wins they could make some noise in 5A, the immediate problem that Montini will face is getting 3 wins after what I presume will be nc games that they will hopefully win with some scheduling advice from the AD on Ogden.
Lots of talent returning.Edwardsville
I think SR is getting mentioned more because they are basically returning 10 starters (granted some were injury mandated but playing time is playing time) from a team whose only losses were to 3 state semi finalist teams (2 that went to the finals) and the lower levels did well. But I think the state is 8A top heavy again next year so the 7A contenders should be slotted somewhere between 10-20 save maybe Naz could crack top 10 in an all class preseason rankI'd love Rita to be in the Top 10 for all classes, but I am not seeing it right now. I'd say SR, at this point, is between 15 - 20. Anyone in the know is welcome to elaborate.
Marist loses alot. Think Mt. Carmel needs to be up there assuming no defections to IMG .
Some others to consider
- Naperville Central
- Benet
- IC
- St. Charles North
- Palatine
- St. Rita
Well duh... Who else would?Not if the Publics have something to say about it. MS, LWE, ESL, PR, Pal, etc...
Agree that Warren should be good. Geez they really seem to have a lot of talent.Lake Zurich

LZ is interesting. They had 7 underclasman start on that defense this year throughout the playoffs (one soph). Of course losing Sanborn and Stuztman on defense is huge, but have you heard of Jack Sanborn's little brother? He played on the sophomore team this year (as a freshman) and the buzz around town here is, look out for this kid, he supposedly has more athletic ability than his older brother, if that is possible (sorry Jack).
On the downside, on offense, not sure if anyone in the entire town of LZ can throw the ball more than 10 yards . . . And replacing Stutzman's sledgehammer running style will be a challenge.
They better shut a lot of teams out. I'm told they'll struggle on offense.MS 8 starters on defense.
So for MS that means scoring like 30 pts a game?They better shut a lot of teams out. I'm told they'll struggle on offense.
That sounds promisingAnyone hearing anything about Benet? I know they return like 15 starters, 8 on defense & 7 on offense... Back to back semifinals appearance too..
Younger brother is a STUD. They may be a little offense challenged but defensively they will be solid
I think H-F will be in the Top 8 next year. I heard they'll be very good next year.Any insight out there in the forum on what we might see out of H-F next season?

Depends who transfers in from Marian Catholic.Any insight out there in the forum on what we might see out of H-F next season?
H-F, in their last 3 regular season games, had an average margin of victory of 31 points which could have had an adverse effect upon playoff-readiness. LWE, on the other hand, had that Week 9 close shave (18-14) @ The 'Brook, not to mention the 15-14 escape from St. Chucky East in Round 2.
