Finally, we have some Midwest Fall football weather in the forecast. Hopefully the thunderstorm and lightning delays are behind us for the season, and we can see some 7pm kickoffs.
The Week 5 GOTW is in the Gold Division, where Morton (2-2 Overall, 2-0 in Conference) will travel to Hinsdale South (1-3 Overall, 1-0 in Conference). Why is this the GOTW? Because the winner has a path to 5 wins, and a playoff birth; and the loser.... not so much. DGS could play spoiler for both.
Morton's remaining schedule - HS, OPRF, PE, DGS, Willowbrook. I'll give them a win against PE, and a very possible win against a DGS team that may have given up by week 8. That means they need this win to stay alive.
Hinsdale South's remaining schedule - Morton, DGS, Willowbrook, PE, Addison Trail. I'll give them 2 wins against PE and Addison Trail, but they'll still need to beat both DGS and Morton. Playing DGS next week may be a tougher matchup then what Morton has in WK 8. HS needs this win to stay alive.
Of course, the LT @ York is an interesting matchup, as we will find out more about this York team. Last week was their first real test, and they had trouble get started, before rolling through DGN. Friday night, I'll be at OPRF, which is one of my all-time favorite stadiums for High School Football.
