ESL was #54 before season begin. You beat a team like Batavia and drop to #94. Can someone explain this.

Batavia coach Dennis Piron said the Flyers and the 2018 Nazareth team that defeated Batavia in last year's semifinals "are two of the finest football teams I've ever coached against in three decades. I don't think that's an exaggeration.

“We were getting to the quarterback and hitting him as he was throwing 70-yard rifle shots into the air to guys bursting down the field looking like they were running 100-meter dashes at the state track meet.”


“They are fast,” Urwiler said. “Hands down probably the best team I’ve ever seen at the high school level. I would expect some of those guys to be playing on Sunday. The speed surprised me a little bit. They came out and balled.”

Six teams on the schedule lost this past weekend. Batavia, Trinity, Alton, East, O'fallon, Central which lowers strength of schedule.

Looks like a lot of Illinois teams went down in rank this past weekend. for example, LWE won by 23 and lost 55 spots.

That's what happens when your state loses games to other states, drops the quality of the whole state.

Now we need Simeon, Loyola and Naz to fall on their swords for the good of Illinois.

The 85 team was the best Illinois high school team I’ve ever seen. Don’t remember exactly but they were in the discussion for the best team in the country that year.

That team was the true national champs.

The 1989 claim ... maybe some pub somewhere gave that designation. But I heard nothing about it then and I probably would have.

National Championship ranking are very subjective. Undoubtably the 89 team was very very good. Just cant find a national rating service that rates them number one. Top ten team probably for sure.

USA Today - now and especially then - kinda called their own shot.

1989
1. Cleveland St. Ignatius (13-0)
2. Odessa, Texas, Permian (16-0)
3. Fontana, Calif. (14-0)
4. Pittsburgh Upper St. Clair (15-0)
5. Rockingham, N.C. Richmond Co. (15-0)
6. East St. Louis, Ill. (14-0)*
7. Hazelwood, Mo. East (14-0)**
8. Farmington Hills, Mich. Harrison (13-0)
9. Anniston, Ala. (15-0)
10. Bradenton, Fla. Manatee (13-1)
11. Valdosta, Ga. (14-1)
12. Oak Lawn, Ill. Richards (14-0)

This is the scoop - they were damn good, loaded with D1 talent. Chris Moore broke out that year as a sophomore. Hickey sidelined and out of the spotlight - it was Chris’ show. And MLB bound, after going to U of I as a receiver, Homer Bush was second best to Jerry Creer. And they were big in the line too. Ran their table in dominant fashion. But their schedule was not as tough as ours, not by a long shot.

Hazelwood East - just across the River - beat us by 13 in the opener, sealing the game with a pick six by NFL longtimer, Terrell Fletcher.

(Last game I lost in high school.)

This is the year after the immortalized Friday Night Lights season. And if Permian did not pull down number 1, with that MOJO (ha!) behind them, well, IGGY OH had to be special.

That was my junior year - I was pretty dialed in to what was happening.

I heard nothing of a National title that year. In fact, the Post Dispatch gave them co-team of the year. (That’s an honor my senior class received singularly.)
