What did we learn week 8!?!?!

[LakeCtyNewt]

Yah the temp dropped and it felt like football season. Playoffs coming……meh sorry didn’t mean to break into Micah speak…….

1 - That the unidentified premature demise of Lincoln Way East will not be predicted.
2 - That Sandburg is a nice story.
3 - That they will really decide the NSC on the field this fall.
4 - That we still don’t know how good Neuqua is, but they’re 8-0 is they’re good.
5 - That Naz is just fine
6 - That ditto for Lake Zurich
7 - That swag is into spotting CSL teams points
8 - That the Chicago Christian Military camo unis are sweet - hope they can wear them this week.
9 - That we as a board openly profess to know very little about South Elgin, except they have a Dragon as a coach.
10 - That prospect and Hersey will be tough outs in 7A.

Week 9 should be fun.

At 4-4, Decatur MacArthur may still not make the 5A playoffs. If they do get in, they will be a dangerous opponent for someone in Week 1.

 

[Cross Bones]

playoff game this week for LWW & H-F should be a good one.

 

[missingwalter]

That Oswego is still the team to beat in the SPC

And Mark Melton is the best running back nobody’s talking about

 

[greatgig13]

That news coverage of games is getting harder to find. Couldn’t make the CG game and I found a score. That’s all…

 

[Blue Ruin]

That NFHS is worse than ever.

That NFHS is worse than ever.

Teams that haven't gone over to YouTube are in the stone age. NFHS is terrible. And schools don't move over because they can sell subscriptions and commercials. Also if schools fork up the dough for the new hudl focus camera everything including setting the recording is automatic.

 

[Blue Ruin]

they can sell subscriptions and commercials.

The schools also get a cut of the profits.

everything including setting the recording is automatic.

Yes, when it works.

 

[caravan8]

That Elmwood-Brimfield & Lewistown know how to add some fun to the pregame coin toss.

Thanks for reminding me to cancel my subscription.

We haven't had an issue in the 2 years we've used it.

The schools is cut so small it's not worth the aggrevation.

So great! This is what it’s all about. These kids having fun. I forget this all too often. I take this stuff way too seriously.

I spoke about him when I saw him in the opener. Kid is the real deal.

 

[NapervilleBuck]

If Neuqua can’t cut out the turnovers and stupid penalties they will be an upset victim in week 1 or 2 of the playoffs. I don’t know how they can still be so penalized in week 8.

 

[Wassup13]

9 - That we as a board openly profess to know very little about South Elgin, except they have a Dragon as a coach.

I definitely liked that one!!

More of this please

Week 8 was the calmness before the storm

Did you get a flawless piece of equipment or does Naz have some good tech people on staff?

Why do some schools switch to YouTube while others are still stuck with NFHS? For example, St. Viator, as we learned Friday to our disgust, is still with the network. Others were complaining too. It seemed like the whole system was down.

It was down completely. I couldn't find an encore yesterday, either. A few years ago they gave me a full refund when I called to complain

 

[JackHaanLaw]

That nothing beats a mud bowl, especially for the players. Here is Tuscola players enjoying their winning pose on Friday night....

 

[LakeCtyNewt]

How awesome!

The equipment is really good IMO.

A Dragon as a coach? This dude needs to leave South Elgin and come over to the CPL! A dragon would be a fan favorite in CPL Pick’Em

Didn’t he have limited success against Batavia and PN though?

 

[PanthersWildcats86]

Reed Custer, long a doormat in the I8/ICE, has officially broken out...after torching six of their first 7 opponents but being shut down by Wilmington, the Comets flew over Coal City resoundingly. The Comets dropped 33 points on a Coaler defense that had only given up 14 in its worst defensive game prior to Friday. This is only the fifth time in school history they have won 7 games in a season, and 9-2 is the best record in school history - which they should at worst tie, likely beat.

 

[missingwalter]

I recall you wondering why they stopped feeding him the ball.

 

[missingwalter]

He got his bell rung on a kick off in the PN game and didn't return (not many offenses are doing much against PN). Batavia was before they settled on him being the full-time featured back.

Got it. I didn’t remember him from the PN game and I didn’t watch the Batavia game.

 

[RockSoup]

That a team that is too under the radar for me is the Bolingbrook Raiders. 2 quality, one-score losses to two very good teams and a strong schedule that softened at the right time for a deep playoff run.

Pro-tip: with supply-chain issues and @Cross Bones purchase orders, buy your sand and bags now before the stores run out of them come playoff time😂

No sandbags here. I wouldnt call The Brook a favorite or even dark horse, but they may be able to knock a favorite or a dark horse off. I would say Loyola is the favorite and then theres everyone else.
