I think it depends on matchups (as always), but they don't look very big on the front lines.Warren is out before playoff semis this year
I would think eventually all these low enrollments we've been supposedly getting eventually have to move us down, right?7A this season?
I'll be interested to see what the post Dave defense will look like. Losing the greatest D-Coordinator in the state will be hurt for years to come.I think Mount Carmel is being underestimated. I think MC will be a behemoth in either 7A or 8A. Their record against ESL is 4-1 and 3-0 against LWE. I don't know what their overall record is against Loyola, but I think they're pretty even in the Holecek era.
Wheaton North has a ton of talent back this year. QB, WR's, TE, LB's. Some pretty talented sophs coming up as well. Could be in the running for DKC champs.
He’s still going to be at practices and reviewing film, he’s just going to be watching his son play at Dayton on the weekends. Or so I’m told. That’s been his plan for awhile. He could have bolted when Frank was replaced, but he stayed for three more seasons full time. He’s the best no doubt but it was going to happen eventually. At least they still have him part time.I'll be interested to see what the post Dave defense will look like. Losing the greatest D-Coordinator in the state will be hurt for years to come.

Or the CCL Blue. Arent Rice, Rita and MC all gonna be 7A in the fall?Good chance 7A state champ comes out of the DuKane..
From what I was told BR is still 8A and SR 5A unless they are told otherwise. I know BR is right the edge of 7A/8A...SR would be a two class jump.Or the CCL Blue. Arent Rice, Rita and MC all gonna be 7A in the fall?
Rita is 7A since they will be multiplied nowFrom what I was told BR is still 8A and SR 5A unless they are told otherwise. I know BR is right the edge of 7A/8A...SR would be a two class jump.
That is a hell of a first four games.MS opens @ Stevie, @ Six Flags, home for Fremd and @ Palatine. I’ll let you know about the season after those four games.
Correct. Rita will be multiplied. Here are the enrollments for the CCL Blue:Rita is 7A since they will be multiplied now
Why wouldn’t Loyola be multiplied? They’ve had playoff success the past few years. Is this a reset on an enrollment cycle?Correct. Rita will be multiplied. Here are the enrollments for the CCL Blue:
Rita 1,915.65
MC 1,940.40
LA 1,985.00
Rice 2,207.70
Marist 2,678.78
Interestingly enough, all are multiplied enrollments with the exception of LA. The Ramblers look to be in 7A the next two years, unless they petition up.
Yes. It's a new cycle. My understanding is that you need to win 3 playoff games in the 2-year cycle. However, this past 2-year cycle for football only included the 2019 playoffs, since there were no playoffs in 2020. As a result, only 9 private schools met the criteria. See the below link to the IHSA site. The third column relates to football. Those schools highlighted in pink will be multiplied for the next two football years. LA is not one of the nine, since they only won 2 playoff games in 2019.Why wouldn’t Loyola be multiplied? They’ve had playoff success the past few years. Is this a reset on an enrollment cycle?
DGS keep an eye on Ryan Dawson….
We were pretty young this spring. I also dont know how much improvement one gets over a few months. I'll say high mark of 4-5 with a low mark of 2-7. Playoffs would be a welcome surprise.
Looking at the schedule on 8to18: Minooka, LWWest, LWEast, H-F and Lockport look like tough games - for most anybody, actually.We were pretty young this spring.

There's a duffle bag behind the church on Janes & 83rd with cash and an address in it. Get the bag to the kid.DGS keep an eye on Ryan Dawson….
Just looking at the situation realistically.Sandbagging early CB!
I marked those games down as losses. We really struggled with Sandburg this spring and if I remember correctly the '19 game was closer than the score indicated. LWC I figure will be about as good as Sandburg. Could win both, could lose both, could split. I think we beat CICS Longwood and Stagg. If there is an upside, if I'm judging by twitter, the young guys seem poised to make an impact. But our track season makes me think there's no speed in the building.Looking at the schedule on 8to18: Minooka, LWWest, LWEast, H-F and Lockport look like tough games - for most anybody, actually.
Do they not decide what the cut-offs are until right before post-season?Correct. Rita will be multiplied. Here are the enrollments for the CCL Blue:
Rita 1,915.65
MC 1,940.40
LA 1,985.00
Rice 2,207.70

It will all come down to the O-Line and replacing 5 starters.MS opens @ Stevie, @ Six Flags, home for Fremd and @ Palatine. I’ll let you know about the season after those four games.
I’ll disagreeIt will all come down to the O-Line and replacing 5 starters.
I would say other than ESL, there might not be a better skill group in IL of QB, RB and WR than what the hawks bring back.
Are you willing to list that skill group here with what year they are? Obviously the time is different, but when I saw the program two years ago I wasn't blown away.It will all come down to the O-Line and replacing 5 starters.
