8A Quarters
- Thread starter Southland Fan 2016
- Start date
It’s ok to follow your heart. However we follow the charts. Looks like MC is a close second.
If championships are the barometer for greatness, you are both wrong.
Gents love the banter! However LWE by 21+ in this game. Been tuned into high school football in the LW area for last 10 years. I thought the 2012-2013 LWE team was on of beat I ever witnessed. Then came 2014 PC team. But now this LWE is the best I’ve seen in the state. The only way the lose is by self destruction. Keep up the friendly banter E-Ville folks but not this year.
I think the thread is more about LWE against ESL than it is about Edwardsville. Lol
The LWE game is getting all the hype on this board but the other three games can be epic. 8 teams left all that can win 8A...I believe LWE is head and shoulders above based on what they did to HF. Similar to what Rice did to LA but times change so who knows. I think LWE wins by a couple of scores but the other three are all pick'ems.

Nice tag name by the way. Actually I hope they can compete. I let others reply to the other non sense.
East St. Louis is well respected by Mt. Carmel. You're a class program and we are honored to be your host.
First, your school has a magnificent football history.
You have seven state championships, compared to our twelve. I'm more than willing to point out that you always play at high levels. There are several schools with an equal or greater number of state championships, but they play at high levels during the season, and use this experience to dominate small, less sophisticated programs during the playoffs.. You don't do that.
I know you have more individual wins than we do, but I would point to the difference in schedules. For 80 to 90 years, MC has played in the Chicago Catholic League, certainly the most demanding competition in the state, if not the country.
Prior to the IHSA staging state championships, we won the City Championship of Chicago nine times. Up through the 1960s, the Chicago Public League had numerous, outstanding programs. Beating them "for city" was very difficult. I don't know if anyone has information on who else did well, here, but I can't imagine that anyone comes close to us.
We'll see you on Saturday ... again, with great respect.
ESL Played LW Central I believe a Home and home but not aware that they have ever approached LWE. I don’t think it was ever mentioned. Edwardsville also played a home and Home non con with LWE (but at ISU ) two years in a row which were not competitive, both being a disaster for the Ville. The Ofallon game was decided by a field goal try that...well had some creative adventure to it. This game has nothing to do with any of those history lessons other than the missing jumbotron that will be absent in Frankfort.
I agree it has nothing to do with the outcome Saturday however I am pointing out that the SWC has history with LWE.
On another note, Not that it’s important to the game but ESL has approached LWE every time they have posted an opening on the IHSA website. Again I am not sure why the game hasn’t happened considering ESL has offered to travel up as well.
LWE is getting called out!!!!! East Side is waiting make it happen.
I heard CG and PR are forming co op next year so that they can compete with the big schools like LWE. JK
by 50 that's a joke right! Common opponent comparison....
LWE beat Naperville Central 38 to 19. CG also beat NC by a couple of touchdowns. CG alone would give them a run. I am not saying they'd win but it wouldn't be by 50. LWE is a good team they should be. I bet their feeder program is good too. I think we've played them for the super bowl a couple of times. Just saying. 50 points lol still laughing at that one.
If you played this squads feeder team in the Super Bowl, you lost! They won six superbowls in a row. A couple of these toys have only lost five or six games in their entire life!
Yes it was a joke. Sorry! I have been having a little fun with the LWE crowd lately and meant no disrespect. I think CG is a very good team and has a real good shot to be state champs this year. LWE is the prohibitive favorite in 8a according to LWE folks so there may not be any teams worthy of getting on the same field as them much less competing.
Yes I was a little slow on the hot route there. That's why I liked your post after I am still laughing at the 50 point comment. literally.
Ohh good stuff! LWE what say you?
I mean we are going to have to take down all the homage threads of LWE vs Bama, vs Itself etc etc if you are ducking Eastside!
Fans want to see this matchup!
Actually there are two youth football programs that feed almost exclusively into LWE plus a few from a couple of other local organizations.
What are their numbers like? I assume good. Palatine’s numbers, for example, are low. Lots of kids playing LAX.
I looked up the info, but apparently, not the correct info.
I don't remember where I got the specific "seven," but Wikipedia says you won the state championship "more than a half-dozen times."
My apologies.
LWE's reserves would beat CG
(this is a joke, playing into this meme folks want to have fun with

OK folks are gonna think I'm kissing way too much LWE behind but based on what I saw first hand..
LWE second string would actually be a playoff team this year on it's own. Not saying they beat CG but just that they make the playoffs and probably get past round 1.
That team is a freaking army of over 100 players. The depth is ridiculous and that's why I think they are a shoe-in for winning another 8a title. If a stater gets hurt or needs a breather, they don'e lose much (or anything in some cases) by plugging in a backup at any position. How many teams can say that? Ok...I'm done with my LWE admiration. I think I need counseling.
