Byron is outstanding and imho definitely a top 20ish type team, but let’s see how that Richmond-Burton game goes.
Just saying that Byron is a one dimensional run only team. Once you start moving up in class, those bigger deeper teams can take that away. I think they would be overrun by the likes of PR or CG in 5A. IC was able to hang with better teams with their explosive pass game playing near perfect football with no drops or stupid penalties.
St Francis beat Rita, St Francis beat Prov, Loyola beat St Francis……we can do this for days.
I disagree. I think they can hang in 5a. SF is still playing. Naz is still playing. Where is CG and PR?
I’m not factoring in one teams (IC) previous success. If a run only team at any level has to play a team that has a thirty or more pound advantage of athletic linemen across the board and those guys don’t have to play both ways, you’re gonna have a tough time moving the ball. And likewise, they are going to move the ball against the smaller team. That’s why the have classes
Not taking anything away from Byron but for this year and the past 3 they have had a generational player on the team in Considine. I wish them and him nothing but success and safety in the remaining games they play.
While he is a very nice player...there are loads of other players in that program. All of the long runs sayruday vs IC were from other backs. Their QB is a sophomore, two way starter and a first team all-stater.
You have to understand that once you get up on teams like Byron by two scores, their offense changes completely. Montini was not able to do it either of the last two years. But when you look at teams like Naz it comes becomes a very different game
I'm gonna throw this conspiracy theory out there.What do Byron,Wilmington,Coal City,Morris and Seneca have in common? They all have nuclear generating stations in their backyards
They're radioactive mutants. Can't really explain what happened to Minooka or Reed-Custer though.Maybe those 2 are getting too much fallout.Does the state give them $$$ for having those plants?I'm gonna throw this conspiracy theory out there.What do Byron,Wilmington,Coal City,Morris and Seneca have in common?

Byron gets about $18 million a year from the Byron station alone. Wilmington gets ZERO $ from the Braidwood station.
Yep
So Byron chooses to stay natural grass? With that kind of cash coming in would think they would change to turf. But then I guess those random storms wouldn’t have the same effect
What is really nice is the sideline for both sides is now turf. That was part of the 4m offseason renovation. It’s a very nice grass field. Don’t think turf is necessarySo Byron chooses to stay natural grass? With that kind of cash coming in would think they would change to turf. But then I guess those random storms wouldn’t have the same effect
That was a joke I saw on here. Byron doesn’t need to do anything for an advantage, they’re good!
While the general consensus certainly favors Byron and IC in 3A, R-B will also return A TON next year. 3/4 of the team will be coming back including the junior RB that is really good. Going to be a lot of fun in 3A North again next year!
Clinton still hasnt gotten the memo.I'm gonna throw this conspiracy theory out there.What do Byron,Wilmington,Coal City,Morris and Seneca have in common? They all have nuclear generating stations in their backyards
Yeah no nuke plant tax revenue for the Wilmo district. We were always the po folks.
There isn't a power plant within Wilmington School District boundary lines. Why would they get anything from them?
