What did we learn week 6!?!?

[LakeCtyNewt]

We have hit the 2/3 portion of the season. So here we go.

1 - That we finally have playoff qualifiers - 256 is enough by the way leave it alone.
2 - That saying someone is a clear favorite in any class right now is fools gold.
3 - That Fremd is legit LEGIT legit - at least for this week.
4 - That Lena Winslow still rules the NUIC
5 - That losing a star player sure makes a difference.
6 - That I prefer to call it Hubbed instead of Rochelled- both work though.
7 - That Geneva’s offense is more than just one really good player.
8 - That Glenbard West isn’t dead yet, just sleepy.
9 - That it wasn’t Vandy-Bama upset big, but Carrollton taking out Hardin Calhoun was a big messer-upper in 1A
10 - That Fenwick is here to stay and will be a factor - much like everyone else, in a crazy wide open 7A.

That’s it.

#5. Losing 3 star players has killed Argo & 2 star players St.Laurence

 

[MMA_Det]

It turns out that after years of public conversation that no one has brought up the visitor stands issues to the administration at Brother Rice

2 - That saying someone is a clear favorite in any class right now is fools gold.

I'll take that bet with Byron in 3A.

Tim, I’m glad to see your comment on the Geneva offense and thank you. Talent is deep with at least 3 receivers that are a huge threat, a qb that can get them the ball, and an o-line that gives them time to do what they want (OG’s Bucholtz and Pettit are 3 year varsity starters ). Add in Mikey Rumoro at RB and here we are at 6-0/4-0. These boys have goals and they checked a big one off the list Friday night.

# 11 - The bad weather is coming in a few weeks. 8A normal powers are adjusting to key injuries and tough schedules. They are not complaining. With those challenges, the top 8A schools will lean on great coaching, execution and ability to make plays when its needed. Do not take fools gold. Stay tuned !

 

[bmlaken]

11. Minooka may end up 5-4 especially if Brook is back

 

[CIMRY90]

12. With key injuries to last year's 4A finalists of St. Laurence and Rochester, 4A is wide open this year.

 

[Wittymoniker1]

That just maybe DGN will be the favorite going into the 7A playoffs with having a very good chance to go undefeated and claim that #1 seed overall.

 

[McEvergreen]

13. That Manteno will be 8-0 heading into Wilmington in 2 weeks.

7-0? They play @Manteno week 8.

 

[IHSAfan207]

I'll take that b

Montini might have something to say.

Oooops my bad

 

[SouthofI80FootballFan]

Might have something to say but it may not mean much. I'd take Byron by 14+.

 

[Silver Rain]

That Mike O'Brien didn't replace 4-2 MC with 6-0 DGN in the rankings.

 

[brucealmighy]

That Mike O'Brien didn't replace 4-2 MC with 6-0 DGN in the rankings.

And he dropped York out with a loss to DGN.

 

[SEHSSTORM1]

And he dropped York out with a loss to DGN.

And Geneva, admittedly with a big win, goes from 19 to 5? Fremd goes form 25 to 8? York out completely with a quality loss to #4 DGN? Man...

 

[IHSAfan207]

✍️. Got you down for Byron -14, if they play.

 

[RameyJacoby]

Montini/Byron Part 2 will happen, all I ask is put them on the North and South side of the bracket! see you Thanksgiving Weekend

 

[RameyJacoby]

Agreed they could have added on by now!

 

[colin2229]

Unfortunately there is 0% chance the game will take place at state. However....

There is 100% chance Montini will be multiplied up next fall and Byron will stay in 3A while being back to back state champs and return their best players to murder the rest of 3A to a 3-peat.

Maybe they should have pulled their starters up 35 late in the 4th instead of trying to run up the score against a former coach.

I would say Carrollton beating Calhoun was a Vandy Bama kind of upset massey had the spread -25.5 Bama was favored by -23.5 points. I say this as someone who actively roots for Calhoun.

I read that Carrolton practiced the whole week without a football and just worked on assignments for the triple option. What a rebound from the 61-0 game last year.

 

[stl705]

Some fun possible Public vs Private title fights could be brewing….

7A - MC losing regardless of QB makes me believe they are not the favorites in 7A.

I have not watched a lot of MC (little bit on YT), but from what I gather the strength of the team is based on the QB run game.

I’ve watched two games of DGN and while the offense is amazing, the biggest strength of their team so far has been Run Defense.

I know it’s too early but does anyone else just feel like DGN is a nightmare matchup for MC?

The people of 2A want QND v. Wilmo... I know they do.

Although that means QND had taken care of Maroa... which I think, if played, will be quite a freaking dandy of a football game! The last meeting between QND and the Sangamo was a classic, except we lost... lol. QND v. Williamsville (2019 3A semi's)

I am becoming a believer in DGN. We'll see how it plays out in the playoffs. I am certain MC will have something to say about it before it's all said and done.

Fumbles kill.

I like the way you think. It’s a different animal once the playoffs start. MC will definitely be there toughest game regardless who plays quarterback for them. MC coaches will have them ready. It’s not there first rodeo.

It’s not DGNs either…

7A could be wild this year--looking forward to it.

 

[corey90]

👍
MC DGN MC DGN! MC
Just saying. When was the last time DGN won State? Every year is different but if I am betting, my money is on MC.

Maroa went north last year, and based on what I saw on some of the message boards, they weren’t very happy about it.

I'm sure the Wilmington staff would love to play QND 👍

Of course they would, because that would mean they are in the title game.

Where you been for the past 25 years? (Aside from thumping all the little programs in the state)

Surely we could have scheduled a non-con by now. Neutral site? BloNo? ISU? Week 1's? 😁😁😁😁
