Hey Souc, why ya gotta go an break Voodoo's heart by suggesting his WV team won't make the playoffs. Do you have them losing to WN in Week 9 to keep them out?

BTW- I'm a little obsessed with Seeing WV so GW can drop to 7A

Ditto!! Soucie - im guessing you probably have WV beating WWS this Friday (to get to 3-3) then losing to LWC and NN making the WN game illrevelant to the playoff picture from the Waubonsie side of things?

Bottom line Captn - WV must win Friday Vs WWS and then take at least one of the two games from LWC NN cuz I think they match up very well against WN and would have a good probability of winning the WN game.

De La Salle not getting in? Interesting

DLS needs one win in their next four games to finish at 5-4 and get in with sufficient playoff points. With remaining games against Montini (A), MC (@ Rita), Marmion (A), and Fenwick (@ Rita), I would say that the Meteors are 'dogs in all those games. The game against MC might as well be a home game for MC since Rita is much closer to MC than DLS. Among those four games, which one do you think is the most likely for DLS to pull an upset?

If you want to talk interesting, that last game with Fenwick could be for all the playoff marbles for both teams.

Personally, I think they play all 4 teams tough and any of the wins doesn't surprise me. Last 2 are winnable more than ever

Wouldn't surprise me if they beat any of the 4, other than St Francis I believe the teams in the green are very very close

Why are they playing home games at St Rita?

DLS gym is under construction and construction traffic is on south end of field, I believe that turf is second half of the plan

Picky question: It appears you have both Rockford Auburn and Rockton Hononegah finishing with one loss (they are both seeded below 1 loss LWC) yet both are 5-0 and play each other. Best team on both team's remaining schedules is Harlem. Do you have Harlem at 3-2 beating the winner of the Auburn /Hononegah game? That seems like the only way to get to both being seeded below LWC.

6A - The only real drama is which team from the South gets the runner-up trophy. Interesting to see which team can hold down Peoria's scoring.

5A -If it plays out, would feature a semi-final between Sterling and Phillips, the winner to be odds-on favorites to win that class.

4A - To discuss anyone other than Rochester is useless.

This thread is for questions directed at The Souc-meister. Let's keep general commentary on other threads please. The guy is very busy this time of year.

Yeah, one of the wrinkles of the Week 5 projection....I agree any of those games could be wins, but for stacking purposes I can't just speculate well, they'll probably get one of those.

You do yeoman's work here big man and we all appreciate your work. Wasn't trying to play gotcha.

I am trying to do some what ifs with GW going 7A after WV picks up a 5th win.

One of the weekly themes this time of year. Is GW 7a or 8a. And is Batavia 6a or 7a.

I know. I don't mind people pointing them out when they see them...it happens, especially in Week 5.

Souc,

Great job as always. I think the MSL is not quite going to fall as you feel it will. And Maine West should run the table in the CSL North

Nice work as always Soucy.

I've been saying all season, if Aurora Christian makes the 2A cut, they can make a deep run. Perhaps win the 2A championship.

If they do win out and finish at 8-1, this will be their best season since they went 8-0 in 1959. Good to see the Warriors experiencing success.

If they can get a playoff win, it will be their first.

Nice story developing in Des Plaines.
Coach Kradman has done an amazing job of building the program over the last 4 years... there is a 1 Div 1 recruit as a Senior and probably 2 more as Juniors.... with a very athletic Sophomore class coming up, it could be a nice run for a few years! Thanks for noticing the good things going on in Des Plaines!

I can see that. But especially early in the process I lean a little more on history when I don't have the full run of the data. You'll definitely see a shift if they continue to "prove" it to me.

Umm Peoria High scoring has been beaten twice this year and they don't even play the toughest team in their conference in Normal Community. 6A South comes down to the top 4 teams and I think any of those 4 can give a North Champ a run for their money... See 6A 2016 championship...

That makes complete sense and they do need to prove it one week at a time... will be interesting to see the results of each team head-to-head now.... Two games on the road for Maine West also, at Vernon Hills and at Highland Park...
