Here we are - week 8. Six WSC teams already have 5 wins - Willowbrook, Addison Trail, Lyons, York, Glenbard West, and Downers Grove North. Only York has officilaly clinched a playoff spot, and neither division's champion has been determined.
On the Gold side, barring something very, very unexpected, Downers South will be the conference champ. With AT playing at Leyden on Thursday night, the Blazers are in position to get a 6th win, and clinch a playoff birth for the first time since 2014.
In the Silver Division, there are 3 teams with 1 loss, and two of them play each other this week. York at Lyons is easily the game of the week. York is coming of their first regular season loss since HC came back to stun them in Week 7 of 2021. Lyons is coming of a somewhat surprising dominate win over Downers Grove North (there were people who picked them to win, but I don't think anyone thought DGN wouldn't score until there were 2 minutes left in the game). Just as a seasonal recap - DGN dominated GBW in Week 3; York beat DGN by 11 points week 6; GBW beat Lyons by 3 points week 4; Lyons beat DGN by 10 points and GBW beat York by 21 points in week 7. So if you think you know for certain who will win between York and Lyons, I need you to also buy me a lottery ticket.
Good Luck!
