Sounds a little crazy to be saying week 4 and it sounds a little crazy to talk about some of the results thus far.......here is my stab at how things will shake out this week.
Braidwood @Herscher- RC the doormat of the I8 travels to Herscher, who hasn't really beat anybody that great yet. Herscher will get one step closer to playoff qualification in a rather boring game. Herscher 35 Braidwood 7
Coal City @Streator- Lock of the week! Coal City will continue to roll even though they are resting Skubic (or at least they should be). Streator had a little hype to start the year but they have lost games they needed to win and barely beat their week one opponent. I say this one is a blowout.
Coal City 49 Streator 12
Wilmington @Sandwich- How good are the Indians? Tomorrow we will find out. I don't think anybody plays well out in Sandwich so it could be a tough one for the cats. I think Reents and the staff have been destroying the kids in practice and they will be ready to play. Could go either way, but I truly think that Sandwich isn't quite all they are hyped up to be. Specials still hurt the cats in this one too, make it closer than it should be. Tough game. Physical game. Wilmington 27 Sandwich 21
Manteno @Plano- Two down teams in a sloppy ugly game. Honestly will be a toss up but I think that Manteno has at least lost to quality opponents and Plano has not really played anyone yet. That helps Manteno here. Manteno 24 Plano 14
Lisle @Peotone- Game of the week! Great matchup. Would like to have seen Peotone play better teams before this game but still think they are a solid playoff team. Being in the pasture that the Blue Devils graze hurts Lisle and I think the game would be more one sided on turf. I still think Lisle wins but it'll be a tough fight. Lisle 35 Peotone 28
Here ya go I8 folks.....feel free to discuss or argue.......Let's see how it turns out this week....Big week for most of the teams
