There is one team out there I don't want Naz to play early in the playoffs. I mentioned it before but I will let Naz focus on their game today before mentioning the team I don't think they would matchup well against.
7A Playoffs
- Thread starter Wassup13_rivals219252
- Start date
If you not gonna say it why not just wait until after the game to post?
GBW is going to be firmly in 8A as the 3 or 4 seed. While I would love to see this matchup, it’s not going to happen.
Glenbard West hasn’t been in 7A since 2015. They have been a true 8A team for a few years now.
According to Soucie and everyone else publishing predictions, GBW will be 8A this year. GBN might also be 8A.
Ok I just had to research it before believing it because I always remembered them as 7A.
28-7 finish, both coaches agreed to pull starters at end of 3rd was 27-0.
7A Enrollment, but I can recall only 2-3 years in playoffs...could be wrong. From all I've heard and known, GW embraces the challenge and respects the competition...often as the smallest enrollment in the 8A bracket. To be the best, you play the best. Go West!
Posting on a local Forum with the repeated questions of "Why is GW listed as 7A and "has" to be in 8A for playoffs, I swiped this nice quote from here (sorry, can't remember who) that it explains it perfectly...
"Many casual fans don’t realize it, but in football, you’re not technically assigned to a class like you are in other sports. Of all the 500+ football playing schools, they take the “best“ 256 into the postseason. The best is determined by wins, playoff points, and conference champions. Then the largest 32 teams in enrollment go to 8A, the next largest 32 to 7A, etc."
Sidenote, let's get ready for playoff football...best time of the year!!!!!
Bowie,
I think MC is overrated this year. I would not be stunned if they lose early in the playoffs.
Overrated??? Team in the toughest conference goes 9-0.
I assume you knew this would have some replies! Entitled to your opinion but going 9-0 in the Catholic Blue and playing a schedule where 7 of the 9 teams they played made the playoffs is kinda hard to classify them as overrated.
The Caravan's offense has been prone to drive-killing penalties, which has kept them them from running up huge point differentials. The defense, on the other hand, has iced most of their victories with drive-stopping or game-saving sacks, forced fumbles, and interceptions all season long. As Bear Bryant famously said, "Defense wins championships."

The Caravan have played a lot of close games (Montini, DeLaSalle and Marmian). MC and Phillips will be interesting.

MC v Naz in 7A. Anything less is a travesty (as far as Illinois high school football is concerned).
Probably will be MC and Normal though. Not counting on cps strike to be done in time.
MC is for real. May be best team in IL. That D is terrific.
