FOX Valley Conference week 1

[Trojan Fox]

New Year, same usual suspects in the FOX

While PR may have been KING the last two year, I believe we will have a "Return of the real KING" this year as Cary takes back the FOX. Watch out for Jacobs, and the always tough Huntley RedRaiders. Could have some teams making playoff runs in Dundee and CLS. McHenry should be tough, but could be a tough year on CLC and Hampshire. With that said, let's hear the predictions:


Jacobs @ Hampshire

Well, new year, new coaches for Hampshire, week 1’s match up will yield the same result of 2017. Jacobs is tough the team I believe will compete best with Cary for the FVC title. The Joey Price show begins today,and Stephan Kavanaugh should be running wild.
48-7 jacobs

Dundee @ Grayslake North

DC returns 9 starters on Offense w/ Raby leading the way at QB, and Rickey Ibarra the top returning rusher in the FVC. Putting up points shouldn’t be a problem, keeping them off the board maybe. If making the playoffs for the 1st time since 2013 is a goal, they need this win. They will be put to the test w/ a Grayslake North team that was in the playoffs last year. I’m a believer in the Highlanders, so I’ll go 38-28 with the victory.

Cary @ Crystal Lake South

First obstacle on the road to Champaign is the great wall of Crystal Lake. Last year, wasn't an issue, will 1 year make a difference? We will see. Cary has been to the playoffs 14 straight years, no reason to think that won't continue, however, a road trip South is the goal late Nov.
Cary 35- CLS 7

Crystal Lake Central @ Prairie Ridge
PR has pretty much OWNED the Tigers in Football, I believe in the 21 year history, the Tigers have won once? That won't change today. While I hope the tiggers have a JV team this year, Munn and Keene are going to have a busy day chasing down Willis and Leydon. PR will be an intersting team this year. PR 42- CLC 14

Huntley @ McHenry
McHenry has a new coach and a play maker in Crowley, Huntley has an alot of new players on O and a tough defense. I expect Huntley big in this one
Huntley 48- McH 7

Let's see your picks and thoughts...

Nice win for CG last night. I couldn't get the read on how good this team will be. Week 1, a slick track and lot's of rust. CL South's line is huge and I think they'll be better than some predicted. Should be a good season in the FVC.

Was surprised by the CG score as they have been getting a lot of pub here this summer. Was CLS better than expected? Also looks like more of the same with PR

Watching it I was asking myself if CG was really as good as people thought or is CLS better than we thought. Hard to tell in game one. It was pretty evenly matched. CG never comes out of the gate in week 1 with a blowout so time will tell. Don't count out PR.

And CG was chasing in the second half. They tied it up and then took the lead with 19 seconds left on a pass where the DB slipped. The Gators definitely had their chance to take that game.

I think CLS is better than expected.

 

[Trojan Fox]

5-0,
Pretty close on some of my called scores, my DUNDEE upset special, and CARY survives scare from CLS.

CLS played very well, but we have our starting QB returning, so I think you'll see the real CARY the rest of the way.

According to Beth Long, Jacobs is the darling of the FVC. She gave them the 25 spot after week 1 and CG continues to be non existent.

Edgy has CG at #13. I would rather have the edgy ranking than any of the other “rankings”. Besides - if you knock off Jacobs - wouldn’t that mean you knock them out of the polls and you can grab their spot?

CG could beat Jacobs 100-0 and BL would refuse to rank them. I’m going with Edgy. I don’t even know why I look to the Bright One anymore. Just makes me crazy.
