Sadly Morris vs MP won't be close.

Sadly Morris vs MP won't be close.

Why do you say that?

 

[4Afan]

Why do you say that?

Watched some of the Metamora/MP game last week and MP is really good, but the main reason is that Morris just doesn't have the team speed to keep up with MP. Those kids were flying up and down the field.

I like what is going on in 7A this weekend

Quincy - St Rita
DGN - Batavia

Quincy might surprise a lot of people

Maine South at Loyola is the GOTW imo.

Quincy ND at Maroa-Forsyth and Dixon at Coal City on the undercard.

 

[DeanOfSelection]

DGN v Batavia

 

[brucealmighy]

Lyons Township/Naperville Central should be very competitive

 

[LakeCtyNewt]

I really like Wilmington DuPec.
Intrigued by Sycamore Francis
Galena LeRoy in 1A

 

[crusader_of_90]

(1) Breese Central (11-0) v (12) Mt Zion (8-3)

(10) Normal University (9-2) v (6) Cahokia (9-2)

Sucks that they are both on the same side of the bracket.

I'm interested in all these games. In some, the interest rises to the level of excitement. Will watch, or at least keep an eye on, as many as I can.

MS v. LA
SR v. Quincy
Batavia v. DGN
MC v. Normal
LF v. Geneva
JCA v Peoria
Naz v. Rochelle
SL v. DP
Montini v. Princeton

But why must NFHS get involved with an MC home game? The game will be announced by the Caravan but broadcast by NFHS, the scourge of the playoffs for years. With them, there is a 50% chance of a catastrophic failure and a 100% chance of a production that's inferior to YouTube.

Hope so

Hope Quincy does! Saw them last year vs WN with just about the same team and beat WN handily

A very average WN team and then they were manhandled by MC by 40 pts.

That was one of the better MC teams I’ve seen.

That’s an IHSA decision. 😔

 

[Silver Rain]

That’s an IHSA decision. 😔

I know its a big money grab, but don't they have any shame? NFHS gives a kickback to IHSA and to every other state agency they have a contract with, leaving no money for equipment or technical support. At the Better Business Bureau, NFHS averages one star out of five--and that's because the reviewers can't give zero stars.

 

[PowerI66]

How so? I thought teams could pay to stream it themselves

In the playoffs, they have the right.
Just like during the playoffs, they get the ticket money at the gate.

 

[PowerI66]

So they can turn down teams from paying for the right to stream their own game? Sorry, I'm just confused by the language in your response, and because multiple teams will be streaming on their own channels this weekend

 

[Swansa01]

Going to try to watch Quincy, Dixon, and Rochelle. Have the semi-finals this weekend here in Montana, so a lot of high school ball to try and watch.

 

[MS4EVER]

Does anyone know if the MS/LA game will be online? Anywhere besides NFHS?
