Curious which Peotone team shows up. The one that is steamrolling people or the one that laid down vs Wilmington. Haven’t seen CC play but their scores are similar to common opponents as Peotone. Has anyone seen both play?
I might get some slack for this take but what Lisle is doing currently is one of the more impressive things I’ve seen this year in this conference. Obviously wilmo/cc we all know what they are. But when you consider no varsity last year, not any success prior years and sitting at 3-3 currently...
You’re rankings are spot on. Peotone n Manteno could maybe flip in the future. That will be decided in a couple weeks.
I think we’ll have 6 teams in the playoffs from the conference.
Wilmington
CC
Manteno
Peotone
Lisle
RC
hate the new system but that’s who will be in.
In regards to playoffs...
nothing to apologize about. It’s a message board and you have an opinion. I actually think your takes are pretty spot on. Just felt like I had to defend my Devils lol. Not sure how it plays out all year for them but I know they are a motivated group w an angry coach😂.
Peotone played well. Not...
Peotone has one year where their youth showed, lost 3 games by a combined 14 pts and you guys are acting like they are bottom feeders now….
lot of other factors played into their poor season last year and I have no idea how this year plays out but man, pump the brakes on the devil bashing here.
Let’s call it what it is. Wilmington probably won’t win a state title in 3a. In 2a, they will breeze to it. Nothing wrong w that. Someone said great coaches and tough kids. Spot on. In 2a it’s an easy state title for them. In 3a, it’s a deep run but with Byron, Richmond Burton and the loaded 3a...
Isn’t this what the old I8 was? Small schools didn’t like it bc they had to play bigger schools a couple times a year. It’s not a bad idea, just seems like you’ll run into same problems as before.
You’re not wrong but here is what I would say. RC has what, 380 kids, Peotone has about 400. Manteno n Herscher in the mid to high 500’s. In small school football, 150 more kids in school makes a HUGE difference. Can’t convince me otherwise. Makes it all the more impressive what Wilmington does...
Seneca
Wilmington
Peotone
RC
Herscher
Break off into their own conference.
Add 3 other schools in similar size. Whoever made the comment about Seneca not liking the size of cc, Manteno etc is spot on. I also think that applies to other schools in the ICE conference.
