It's been a busy summer that seems to have flown by, and the season snuck up on me. My apologies for getting this out so late.

This starts the 2024 weekly WSC Prediction Thread. Each week on Monday (or early Tuesday morning), I will start the weekly thread – please be patient, as I do have a life/job/responsibility outside of HS football and this board 😉. Picks will be due before kickoff of the first game of the week. Games taking place on days other than Friday night will be annotated.

As was done in previous years, I will post a current standings and weekly winner on the previous week’s thread and start a new thread each week. I will also keep a running score throughout the 9 weeks of the regular season and announce an overall season winner. The more weeks you participate, the better your odds at winning the whole season. @brucealmighy is our reigning Champion, going 64-11 in the regular season last year. @Fishwater41 was a close second at 63-12,

Weekly rankings are determined in the following order - Wins, Number of games Picked, Losses. So if you only pick 6 one week, you will always be behind someone who has picked 7 every week and has the same number of wins. In my opinion, more picks equates to more risk.

We will pick both Gold and Silver, which gives us 14 games to pick in Week 1, 12 games in Week 2, and 7 games in Weeks 3 – 9. That's a total of 75 games. All are welcome and encouraged to participate; here’s to a great season, safety to all players and fans, and good luck!

I’m interested to see how Lyons does this year, they lost their big name players but return around 14 starters and have a very good running back. I think they may be better than people expect.
 
They have over 250 kids out, so they should always be pretty good.

If they win 1 of their first two games they should make the playoffs

week 1 Prospect at home
week 2 @ Wheaton Warrenville

If 1-1 then will beat Oak Park, Proviso West and East for sure.

Then
Hinsdale C
Gblenbard West
Downers North
York

I can't see Hinsdale beating them.
