I expect it to be much like the IC Ignatious game. I’ll say Byron 7, IC 6 at the end of one. After that who knows.
ICCP vs Byron, Let's GO!
- Thread starter Wassup13_rivals219252
- Start date
I heard the starting RB/CB for Byron left the Pontiac game in the first quarter and never returned. Byron guys on here?
The Tigers were up 21-0 in the first 5 minutes of the 1Q... Maybe that had something to do with that?
I did a little deep dive into their titles. I think in all of those years they won 7 titles, they only had two guys go d1. Turner and Tranchitella. Most times they had a 5’8” 155lb rb who ran hard and was shifty. The lines were never huge. Most times they had 220lb fast lineman who blocked like hell. Undersized everywhere. Passionate kids who fought their asses off. I hated them when I was playing against them, they were always cocky bastards lol, but looking back at all of those years how can you not respect what they did and how they did it. This IC team might be better at every position and it’s not even close.
IC is fine. Current freshman class is close to 115. Biggest in years. Also I’ve been hearing that since 1996 when I was a freshman. Still here 30 years later.
Not a new campus. They bought the church next door and are upgrading facilities
@Wassup13_rivals219252 , will you be at this game? I might make my own thread so I can update the score in the title if not, but didn't want to step on any toes.
Is IC content with their enrollment or are they trying to increase? And when I say increase I am meaning 100+ not 25-50 kids. They have a nice little niche I feel over there...good school.
Byron already starting the cope of “we don’t recruit” “one town one zip code” nonsense. Which is rich when they have benefitted from multiple move ins after a kids 8th grade year. Let’s just enjoy what should be a great football game.
Where in God's name are kids moving from to go to Byron? It's not like it's in a metro area.
I mean Byron was 1 foot away from knocking off montini in 2024. That happens and they win 3 championships in a row
Well, for starters, the Talbert family.
They are from Freeport and are part of the same travel baseball org as the the DC's son. Dad moves the family to Byron just in time for freshman football. Where did the dad find employment in Byron...?
You guessed it.I have no problem with it. Do what's best for your kid and family.
Public fans...just don't act like it doesn't happen.

If you as a parent who lives in , say Stilman Valley or Davis Junction, and has a seventh or with grade son who you believe is an exceptional athlete who loves football and wants to play in high school, you just might find a way to move into the Byron boundaries. nothing wrong with that.

Now tell everyone where the dad worked and what school the family went too.
If I lost my job I’d probably look around the area at the best district and move to it if I could.
Hint…wasn’t a public school.
No, Byron has it all and facilities are amazing for a 3A team, or 4A or 5A…
It’s just not sports driving people to Byron.
Stillman and Davis Junction don’t have a grocery store while Byron has 2.
Driving 10-15 minutes for something other than Dollar General is huge.
Restaurants are even on another league.
I’ve heard a bunch of family’s have also left that area for Rochelle.
The parents of the old good Stillman teams are still there holding the housing while their kids have left.
Stillman dropping to 2A shows it’s a dying community.
It's nice when a small community like that has a nuke plant to help out.
Byron’s been preparing for IC for 12-13 weeks now. Should be a great game, surprised they’d start this given that their prep should make them the favorite
Anyone can google it if they’d like.
I answered 4a’s question proving him wrong and will take my
Ya the school was closing and is now closedAnyone can google it if they’d like.

.Such a win you needed to make it sound like they came from Freeport public schools.
Freeport Aquin if you don’t want to look up on google how disingenuous the post actually was.
What’s the field gonna be like? No game lat week, a little rain mid week, going down to 28 late Friday, early Saturday
Bro. Relax. Not sure why you felt the need to get involved. Didn’t make it sound like anything.Ya the school was closing and is now closed

Seriously?
You called a whole family out by name for a post about recruiting and told half the story of what the situation actually was.
If you told the whole story I would have never commented
.The question posed was who would move to Byron? And I said the Talbert family.Seriously?

Didn’t say they were recruited at all numb nuts.
Again, my point was to prove 4A wrong and to show that Byron is a town/school that families would move to. Nothing to do with you.
I've never been to this field, so I don't have much insight. Is the prevailing thought that it's to Byron's advantage if the field is sloppy, as it might nullify IC’s significant speed and athleticism advantage?But what about the field conditions
In the three games played at Byron in the past, IC has scored 35, 7, and 6 points
Oof, that's two rough offensive games out of three. On the bright side, I believe the defense pitched shutouts in two of those games.
Field will be good.But what about the field conditions
Actually be better than last year to favor IC from what I seen few weeks ago
