CTK fans are fun to watch in the stands!
Their band members are so full of energy and can really dance well!

Will beating them count as a win for playoffs? Yes. Will they help playoff points? If they actually beat somebody.
It's not uncommon for a new program to have a schedule like this. Another scenario would be what Manteno did when they started, doing a two year phase in. Year 1, they were a roving freshman program that allowed sophomores to play, picking up games against whoever wanted or needed a game - freshman or soph level. Year two (2001), they played a fresh - JV schedule. JV mostly played schools in need of soph games, but did in fact play 3 varsity games against teams in dire schedule need. But their 0-3 Varsity record wasn't going to help anyone's playoff points...
The first full varsity (3-6) Manteno team actually had some pretty good athletic talent...the 2002 first year team QB had a baseball ride to Illinois as a catcher, the tailback had a track ride to Ball State and the key receiver had a baseball ride to KCC...But the best athlete in the class loved soccer and got a track ride to Iowa.
