Who's missing games for what weeks? Let's get these schedules filled up so the Roxana proposal fails.
2026 schedule openings
- Thread starter Cross Bones
- Start date
See below for open dates and Roxana proposal isn't being voted on, Monticello proposal is, which is just the expanded playoffs portion.

At this point, St. Rita looking for Weeks 1 & 2.
If someone close to the situation at 77th & Western can give us an update, it'd be appreciated.
If I had my way: Rita @ Tomato Can A&T and Tomato Can Academy @ Rita for Weeks 1 & 2, respectively.
Heard the Lena Winslow is opening with Benet Acaedmy week 1.
All.... Benet went 3-6 in 2025 although they played a very rugged schedule. LW doesn't play a power schedule like that of course. Massey projection for 2025 LW 39 Benet 20. (79%) The Panther staff better of looked at more then their regular season record understanding who they played. I still think though LW will come in as favorite when the two meet. Especially if it's a road game for the Redwings. Ratsy
All.... Any word out on Providence for week 1 and 2? I could of sworn just a couple of days ago the Ihsa open dates listing they were looking for games. Nothing showing now? Ratsy
Benet was bad last year no matter their schedule. They had 3 really hard games in CCL and 4 not so hard.
I can’t see that not happening. I will say I hope it’s a Home & Home series. I’d like to travel to ESL & always enjoy showing off MC’s field regardless of LWE thinks of it.
