Lemont vs. Phillips
- Thread starter Oddy
- Start date
For most of CPS it has been basketball season for a month now and since they petitioned up you won't get the HHS/BBCHS yearly gripe thread. Hell without Phillips to focus on the I8 remembered how much they hate each other and got back to their civil war lol.
If Sterling plays up to its potential, it should give Phillips a tough game. No other team comes close.
From what I saw last year Phillips never kicks PATs so not sure how they are supposed to end up with 21.
I saw this and something is off. Calpreps power rating has Phillips a 52.7 to Lemont's 40.4 which translates to a 12 point favorite for Phillips even before the home field is taken into account. I will check with the calprep guys but this is an error.

yes they don't kick so 21 won't happen.
They beat Loyola 20-14 in the season opener. Loyola is in the 8A final 8. Of course Loyola sent their JV team that game or so they claim.
Solorio early in the year 14-9, but Phillips waxed them in the playoffs last week in the rematch
They beat Loyols 20-14 in the season opener. Loyola is in the 8A final 8. Of course Loyola sent their JV team that game or so they claim.
They still have spells, they had 6 turnovers the first time against Solorio which was why it was so close the first time. I think they will be focused these next 3 games.
Phillips has 5 or 6 D1 guys on their defense. Lemont's D may be very good, but Phillips D is lights out good.
Be reminded that Lemont is actually playing "down" a Class this year after many appearances deep into the playoffs in Class 6A in recent seasons while Phillips is playing "up." Not playing at Lemont is a positive for Phillips, however.
Lemont plays very good "team" football even though they may not have the number of "marquee" players as Phillips. Finally, Head Coach Bret Kooi has been around the block a few times given his time at Lockport, LWNorth and maintaining the success at Lemont. Do not dismiss the Indians so quickly.

I Have Lemont playing Sterling in the Semis, it will be a good game, Lemont will squeeze out a narrow win against Phillips
No, I'd be happy to see either team at Sterling, but would prefer to see Phillips and have Sterling get the chance to be the team to knock them out, plus I'd rather see that game anyway, more action!
If they miss a 2 point conversion then get it on the following touchdown then it would be 21. 13+8From what I saw last year Phillips never kicks PATs so not sure how they are supposed to end up with 21.
Was going to root for Lemont anyway but based upon your post about the coach I'll predict a 10 point win. You may be just far enough out of the city the Phillips may not try to recruit any disgruntled players off the team.
Maybe they kick field goals but not extra points. You never said they didnt kick field goals!If they don't kick extra points, where is the field goal coming from
One would think that with all the talent that finds it way to Phillips hallways someone could kick.
But such a skill might be ridiculed. He'll, I went to an HS roughly 12 blocks South by 14 blocks east of Phillips and the crowd booed the soccer team during the homecoming pep rally.
Is anyone listening to this crew on the Cube? Hilarious. Also, why is this game available on the Cube?
9-0 Phillips at half time. Safety and touchdown. Lemont can't get untracked. Phillips TD on long pass under thrown at the goal line. Receiver adjusted before the DB could.
