CG has to survive the north. Prairie Ridge already beat them once by two scores and St. Francis is in the north as well.
CS8 Week 8
- Thread starter rocketnation
- Start date
Nope, as of last weeks projections they weren't even in the top 5 largest 4A schools.
So you're saying Chatham's passing game is better than Carmel's?
Provi beat a 7A playoff team with an elite QB, I don't think anyone in 5A worries them.
Cary Grove has several injuries early in the PR game which has a direct effect in the 34-21 loss and the following weeks 10-7 lose but the Trojans have righted the ship..
All.... Focus please. I'm saying Chatham would beat NLP. Couldn't care less who they beat or who deafeted them. (lol) Ratsy
who Provi played and who they beat kind of goes towards whether Chatham could beat them or not.
*SIGH*, here we go again. Don't use the IHSA playoff outlook. It still lists 0-7 and 1-6 teams which are eliminated but still effects enrollment numbers and who ends up in which class. In every projection so far this year Montini has been 4A and nothing has changed. Your screenshot also has Montini at 7-0 even though they won tonight, so it's not even up to date.
All.... Nope. They said the same thing by the way in 2019 (not quite the same schedule) when the Titans hammered them 40-16 in postseason play. I see you like to argue... Can't believe a team I have no real love for I'm talking about. Ratsy
Just watched the 4th Quarter of the Cyclones/Titan game... WTH happened to cause the wheels to far off the SHG bus???
For most of my life I have never been able to sit and watch a complete game.
I had 7 games open so I stopped watching/Listening to the Titans and watched other games. When I saw the Titans score on "Illinois High School football Scores I just shook my head.
I Left early many a games from the Dolphins/Colts game where Marino led the Dolphins to a victory while my Dad was asking me as we were leaving "Why are we leaving?" to a Bama/LSU game when I left before OT and of course Bama won that. Not sure if anyone else has this problem watching their teams but my teams win percent, once trailing while I watched, won when I stopped watching.... I blame the Oakland Raiders and the "Sea of hands" TD by Sabler over my once beloved Dolphins back in the mid 70's for this problem of mine LOL!

All.... CG is my off the grid sneak team although PR is the team to beat in 5A. Those two will meet again in the north bracket and that game is going to be my upset pick with the Trojans winning. Outlook has them currently sitting as the largest team in 5A at 1310.00. Big game with Jacobs coming up.... Ratsy
Very strange, was scratching my head after the first series or two when Scheffler and the two star WR were not on the field. I donāt understand it as I did not see any of them pick up an injury.

go with your heart.
Well the Titans woke up in the 4th Q and scored 28 points but Im puzzled why it took so late for a fire to be lit under the Titans asses! Playing scared, not to lose... not sure, but something needs to improve.
Chatham should handle SHS by -35
Ike gets another win!
QND should survive DMac!
Jacksonville just needs to play their game and have zero injuries....
UHigh... Read about Jacksonville.
Its lost its luster but I think it will be a good game... My attempt to be politically correct but I am severely lacking in that area!!! The dinosaur in me says Rockets 42-17!
I hope the playoff teams suffer no injuries and prepare to represent the CS8 with everything they have!
All... They brought up briefly on 1450 am Saturday several of the Senators not playing and Qb Scheffler only in for a couple of series. And they said we don't know. No one told us. "Maybe the coaches will tell us... maybe." Ratsy
How many return TD's does Doellman have this season? I've seen at least 3 on highlights.
RatsyEdit: IT's 4... 3 punt, 1 kickoff. I forgot about his 2 "rushing" TD's.
Second Edit: Add these 4 to his tally of 6 from Fr/So/Jr seasons for a total of 10 total punt/kickoff returns for TD in his high school career. For our program, much like Mr. Scott on defense a year ago, this kid is something very special. Couldn't be happier for him and his family also.
Receiving: 38 rec, 575 yd, 9 TD
He leads the league in TDs (15) and overall scoring (92 pts) this season.
Can likely scratch most of that. I forgot I missed a week of stats this season when I was out of town a couple weeks back. I'll have to update and get back to this. Idk how often they update the Channel1450 stats, I also don't pay for the premium content on that site so I'm unsure, I just know they usually provide fairly accurate stats for the current season. Regardless, the total on the punt/kickoff TDs is correct. The yardage, total TD, and scoring tallies are a week off for me. I think Gavin's likely still leading in the scoring and TD categories, but there's likely a few big names close to him up there... Thurman or Scheffler (SHS), Cunningham (U-High), Knoedler or Lehman (Glenwood), Brinkman or Groelsch (sp? sorry if I butchered that) (SHG).
I will also add, bc we've been asking for about 3 years now, why in the world are people still kicking to this kid!?!?

Also, quick shout out to John Venvertloh against Lincoln. I know his grandad and father keep an eye on the boards as the seasons roll along... And I think we can now confidently start saying Johnny might be better than dad! 
9-12, 167 yd, 5 TD
Totals: 102-143 (71%), 1,442 yds, 24 TDs.
We couldn't have asked for anything more from the kid.

All.... Forgot to mention Chocolate Terry was hanging out with our group again wearing his Joliet Catholic hoodie. Surrounded as usual by many Titan tailgaters a bunch came up to me later asking why is that guy wearing that shirt telling me the Hilltoppers are 2-5. I mentioned a certain projection has them going 4-5 making the postseason and opening up against the Titans in class 6A. It got kind of quiet for a moment. They are still intently watching the 5A/6A cut line. Ratsy
Thru Week 7, 1450 had Doellman with a conference leading (Non-QB) 15 total TD's and Lehnen and Groesch next both with 14.
All.... If I may for the Rockets other then then the qb's? Forgot to mention they have changed the forecast by the way for this Friday. It was supposed to be mid 50's rain on and off starting in the afternoon through the evening. Now showing a high of 62 and no rain. Ratsy
Thru Week 7 Rocket TD's: Stout 10, Kates 7, Stanton 6, Cox and Myren both 4.
I went back and tried to correct the week I had missing... Idk if I'm right anymore but I'm never very confident in my stat keeping abilities if I'm being honest. Hence why I don't offer my services in any capacity. I just like to have it as a means to making me more focused in how I watch the game. However, this should be close enough for my next statement... In a world where we were allowed to crown a true league MVP in the CS8, I think the shortlist would, and should, absolutely include Gavin Doellman.
Receiving: 40 rec, 627 yds, 10 TD ---> going to assume both that I'm close to the correct tally there AND that lands him somewhere "in the middle" behind Lehman, Cunningham, Thurman and anyone from Rochester or SHG on the WR list that I'm failing to think of at the moment.
Rushing: 7 att, 150 yds, 3 TD ----> just included since it reflects his TD total. Could also be noted these were all RPO-esque throws in the backfield, not hand off runs.
Kickoff/Punt Return: 5 TD (3 punt, 2 kickoff) -----> I was off by one, bc I'd missed a game he had one in. A blessing, as you all can understand, is this stat line right here. But also, that means his HS career total is at 11 kickoff and punt returns for touchdown. Doesn't need to be said, but that's a record here at QND.
I have him at 18 total TD and 112 pts on the season including his one and only 2pt conversion reception. I find it hard to think anyone's touching that outside of a QB but I know that's a silly statement as the programs who allowed us into this league are quite good at football and have many upon many upon many a stud donning their colors every week. We have one true stud, and his name is Gavin. Personally just grateful you all got to "meet him" in some way or another here these past two seasons.
***Thank you rocket for making that point in your post about Gavin being the leading scorer in the league (non-QB). I would agree that's a necessary point worth noting. I would have to think, and if I was forced to guess, that Cam Brinkman or Brody Scheffler likely lead the charge for overall total scoring, TD's, and yardage. Brinkman being a legit dual threat QB, and Brody who's clearly put an empahsis this year on taking what defenses give him, which means running more than he's used to, especially in short yardages as I've seen 3 times in games this season now.
And for what it's worth, my list for CS8 overall MVP this season would be as follows...
1. Colton Knoedler (Glenwood)
2. Brody Scheffler (Springfield)
3. Cam Brinkman (SHG)
4. Gavin Doellman (QND)
5. Cade Cunningham (U-High)
6. First out --- Easton Ackerman (Jacksonville) --- I believe I remember hearing he's the leading rusher in the CS8 this season (non-QB of course!)
Most Improved Player: Cam Brinkman (SHG) --- the game has really slowed down for Cam this season. It was very obvious against us and I'm sure against others if I'd seen all their games. A shout out to his O-line and their obvious improvement as well. That's a collective award I'd vote for all day. Cam is the product of his line's hard work. Gotta give the fat boys their credit.

He'd be 5th in scoring according to the IHSA stats page, buuuuuut those are self reported so I'm sure there's a number of people missing. The RB for LeWin had 8 TDs just last week.

I feel like that's an unfortunate caveat to high school football in this state, we rely on self reporting for stats at this level. I say in this state simply bc I'm unsure how other states do it. So there's likely a lot of discrepancies within this conversation. I'm not confident my numbers match 1450, which I assume are also self-reported still as they were back in time when I would pay to see them. Maxpreps remains the best example of how self reporting can go awry.He'd be 5th in scoring according to the IHSA stats page, buuuuuut those are self reported so I'm sure there's a number of people missing.

Point remains though, a HUGE part of Gavin's game is in special teams. And luckily for us, it comes with points on the board. Because in the same breathe he's only really making up for all the missed XP's we've had this year, with and without our recruited in-house QND Soccer Raider.
I'm more confident in calling him the CS8's best return man.
