Crazy how things line up! We get a rematch from last years quarter final but this time around it's at LW-East!
Who you got and why?

Agreed. Last year was a physical mismatch. I suspect it will be the same this year.
We are actually better right now then we were a year ago. Defensively getting Winters back and moving Harrington to the other safety has been key. Also Ebewya on the DL and either sophomore Alim Mitchell or Duran Sims at the weak corner. QB has system down pat now. Kennedy at TE (and Defense occasionally is huge.

I am a lwe fan, but you can take all of hinsdales players add them to ours and mc still has more talent.
Unfortunately there's more than 2.6 miles between, which isn't fair
🤣

LWE beat BR who beat MC. They have beaten pretty much everyone with ease, they seem to have to best defense in the State and are playing at home. Tell me again why people are handing MC this game?

I know know BR is a different team now and it was week 1 but this team is scrappy, plays tough D, and is #1 for a reason. And they have a legendary coach in his last season with his son on the team....they'll do whatever it takes and play like rabid dogs. Anyone thinking MC has this in the bag is being foolish.

I'd pick MC with how they are playing this past month but it's gonna be a battle. No sandbagging required.

Coach Z’s last game.

This years LWE team is built more like teams of old, solid defense and a good mix on offense, a couple good receivers but no superstar at QB, and hopefully the starting QB is back because he’ll be needed. He’s very good, but they haven’t changed the system to a pass heavy offense like they did with Williams at the helm.

East doesn’t have the talent of last year, and MC outmans them and out athletes them almost everywhere, but if things go East’s way and they play error free/mistake free football and special teams plays perfectly, they can pull one out. If East makes mistakes or misses field goals early, it will be in trouble.

This is a game MC wins 75% of the time according to Massey and probably 95% of the time according to everyone else. But I’m hoping this is one East can keep close and possibly pull one out like they did against BR. East is a much much better team than they were in game one against BR, but so is MC.

Hopefully it’s a close one. MC has more talent than anyone in Illinois aside from maybe ESL, despite the loss early this season, and we all know what they are capable of if they play up to their potential.

How many quarters will elapse before the network that must not be named switches to the blue screen of death?

I said it several times last year and was hammered for my comments
Williams couldn’t win the big game and struggled when he faced adversity.

This years LWE team is a bring your lunch to work type that doesn’t mind working OT

it’s a better team than what was fielded last year and much better than what we saw in week 1

this is going to be a decent game

LWE is a very good team, but they will have a tough time keeping this one within 3 scores.

They just don’t have the ponies.

There is a possibility MC beats themselves like Rice did against LWE, I suppose.

35-7 MC

Last year's quarterfinal at MC was shown on WCIU TV. I still have the recording on my DVR and I'd better watch it one more time before the wonderful folks at Comcast take it back.

There are a few posts on Twitter that suggest that it was the intent of getting the visiting fans are out of the neighborhood prior to the street lights coming on

I think that these posts are being made by people that are trying to make something out of nothing

Nobody in Frankfort is worried about MC fans or students being there when it's dark out, that is insane. Quite a few people in Frankfort have friends and family who have kids at MC.

People and businesses would love fans going out after the game to any local places for food and drinks.
