JCA score?
- Thread starter CCL65
- Start date
A couple of thoughts as we end the season from this decades long JCA observer and fan.
We need the QB to run more. Maybe our QB does not have the ability to run, but in the time honored JCA offense, the QB needs to be able to run for the team to be successful. The threat needs to be there.
We need an offense that has a screen pass in it. A draw play, too. That is not the QB's fault, that is offensive coaching and play calling. Same for more short passes. We need overall better play calling and less predictability.
An entire overhaul of special teams might be a thought. How many TD's and long returns were there this year?
The team is young and there is potential and the QB should have learned a lot this year. But, he and the team, need the coaching to improve, especially on offense and special teams. The defense carried the team this year, so kudo's to them and their coaches.
Already looking forward to the 2027 season!

From a local will county CCL fan, Provi bias but still CCL fan. How is JCA looking for next season? Up until the coaching fiasco at Provi I felt Provi built for another run next year but we will see. I love the rivalry between the two programs so just curious.
JCA appears talented with current sophs and loaded with current frosh.
current juniors have some high end talent but not sure how deep they are. PC current juniors definitely have the edge but it remains to be seen how many will return or even who will coach them.
if they can retain most of them, they will likely be more talented for next year. But JC seems to have been stacking classes the last two years and if the unrest at PC helps the recruitment of 8th graders this year, that could be a third straight very talented class.
next year they look to be ok. But should be a fun three plus years after that. Still need to fix the offense for sure
Appreciate the info. I’d love to see tight close games and not blowouts. Both teams being good is great for the area. I’m hoping the coaching thing has settled. Was informed Provi had a larger than normal 8th grade open house. Will that translate time will tell. Again love the feedback
38-0 late in the 4th
the Tigers are now 5-0 all time vs JCA which is pretty amazing considering how good JCA has been over the years.

The offensive line should be vastly improved next season. If you block correctly, any play called will work.
I don’t believe the interior of the offensive line was a typical Joliet catholic group this year. Not the size they usually have and often struggled to get a push.
There actually were some decent skill position pieces this year but the offense struggled to find creative ways to get the ball to them. That is part play calling, part offensive line issues, and part young qb play.
We are all hopeful for that. I don’t even know the names or ages of much of this years OL. I just know they appeared smaller than a usual JCA o line and there were way too many 3rd or 4th and shorts that were met with tackles for loss. I am hoping the frosh and sophs have some big bodies to help out next year.
Projecting and assuming IHSA rules stay the same...this puts JC back to 5A next year, which is good to see. If Provi makes it to this years championship, puts them in 6A next year.
Seems the JC underclassmen have a good group coming up. Good experience for next year. Go HIll.
Same with SF this year and that’s starting to look more likely.
Sounds like they may be a 4A/5A bubble team next year.
And if PC and SF both get bumped to 6A and Rochester, SHG, Montini, and Morris all stay down in 4A, then 5A looks like a softer landing spot than 4A next year. Will be interesting to see how it shakes out.
I could see WWS-Naz being a real good game if it happens in the semis.
Dating back to the Alstott Era.
Any chance Muhitch can come back and help out on the defensive end for the rest of the playoffs? LOL Things will get sticky in a couple of weeks and damn it would be nice to have him in the film room.
Go Tigers!
