    CS8 Predictions Week 10

    Following the score updates, it sounds like this one was wild. Civic Memorial went up 14-0 in the first 9 minutes before QND scored 24 unanswered. Down 24-14, Civic then scored 14 unanswered in the final 9 1/2 minutes, including the game winning score in the final two minutes

    Opening Round counts as a playoff game when determining host in later rounds

    Perhaps this is not necessarily what the IHSA intended but since it was never clarified in either the proposal or rule book language, they had to keep it this way for this year. The language for determining postseason hosting states, “In subsequent rounds, the school that has hosted fewer...

    618 (Southern Illinois) Talk Expanded Playoff Edition

    Washington is one of, if not the toughest team in 5A South that would not have made the cut for 256. It’s surprising to see them as a “bonus team” considering they earned a playoff spots the last 20 years. It shouldn’t be a big surprise if they take down Mascoutah or even Triad for that matter...

    618 (Southern Illinois) Talk Expanded Playoff Edition

    With the expanded playoffs, there are plenty of Southern Illinois schools still in play. No claim to be an expert on all of these teams, so I welcome any input from my fellow Southerners (especially in Classes 1A-3A) Class 8A #27 O’Fallon(5-4) hosts #38 Joliet West (4-5) O’Fallon has...

    Q of the Week: So what's the fix?

    I think 1-32 is overhyped as a solution. There are some cases where it would pay off, such as giving a path to Byron vs Montini in the 3A title game this year. But it also would have turned Joliet Catholic vs Naz into a quarterfinal in 5A instead of the final. Changing to 1-32 just shakes up...

    Waterloo v. Cahokia

    Feels like this one comes down to which Cahokia team shows up. The Comanches always seem to have a degree of inconsistency and some of their results this year show that. Cahokia's best is probably better than Waterloo's best but Waterloo will absolutely let the Comanches beat themselves if they...

    Looking for scouting reports for smaller schools

    Highland is always a pretty strong team and they are solid again this year. None of their losses are too concerning since they all came against unbeaten or one loss teams. They keep it fairly simple on offense with a lot of running and quick passes. This link will give you their team stats for...

    Peoria Notre Dame 59 Rochester 58 … “Houston, we have a problem”

    Cahokia is likely to travel to Waterloo next week and I foresee that as a pretty competitive game. Whoever wins that one is my pick to at least reach the semis.

    Provi/SF

    Not an official here but one thing that comes to mind is that delay of game is not necessarily only for letting the play clock expire. At least in the NFL, spiking the ball after the play is called a delay of game. In fact, Jalen Hurts was just called for that infraction in a recent game...
