CS8 2026 Schedule (Early)

[cornerrat#1]

All.... Piecing this together without enough information. All of this subject to change until the official Ihsa schedule comes out. The first six from il.8to18.org were for the most part complete. Last six I cross referenced as well as looked at conference changes which shift with some w8 and w9 crossover games as well as different home and away games. Ratsy

Good stuff.

Eisenhower was only dressing around 30 players last year and this is an extremely challenging first six weeks for the Panthers.

MacArthur, on the other hand, has a very favorable beginning to the season with two non-conference games they should be heavily favored followed by Lincoln in Week 3 before facing Rochester and U High.

U High has two challenging road games to start the season at Rochelle (4A playoffs last season) and at Mahomet (5A playoffs), then faces Chatham in Week 3.

A few significant road trips in Weeks 1-2. Rochester, QND, and Lincoln all will be traveling 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 hours, with Lincoln winning the long-haul award by going to Marion.

All.... The Lincoln/Marion w2 game is a one and done. The schedule still shows it for Friday but 3 1/2 hours on the road is a long afternoon drive. In 2027 the Railsplitters managed to get an available CS8 team w2 and will play MacArthur. After that several seasons with Taylorville. Ratsy
