State Champ Predictions 2025
- Thread starter Carmine Evergreen
- Start date
I agree, not what they want to do but can run the ball. Watched them a few times, and the line is very solid. Great staff as well
Honestly I don’t see Fenwick having much success on offense, Although it can happen I don’t see it. Even if snow ESL run game will take over
Quote of the day so far....St. Francis coach Bob McMillen on his football team: "They are really big into this eye black thing. I don’t know why. They want to paint their faces and everything else."
1A - Lena in a blowout
2A - Wilmington in a blowout
3A - Byron by three TDs
4A - Rochester in a nail biter
5A - Providence in a close game
6A - ESL in a blowout
7A - Brother Rice in a good game
8A - Mt Carmel in a blowout
2A - Wilmington in a blowout
3A - Byron by three TDs
4A - Rochester in a nail biter
5A - Providence in a close game
6A - ESL in a blowout
7A - Brother Rice in a good game

As great as ESL's offense is...the defense continually year after year gets overlooked....
19 points allowed to in state teams in Reg Season (which includes a pick 6 vs Belleville East)
28 points allowed in 4 games in playoffs
Good luck to Fenwick...
The two Theis (??) brothers look like they could be playmakers for Fenwick. However, if they are playing both sides of the ball and getting hit every single play by ESL DL, then have to turn around and tackle MJC...that can take a toll on you.
Maybe one of you armchair historians will know this off the top of your head. How exclusive is the four-peat club? Correct me if I'm wrong, but hasn't Rochester and Lena Winslow knocked down more than five in a row? Bishop Mac must be up there too, and maybe Driscoll as well? Help me fill out the gaps in my knowledge.
JCA (1975 - 1978)
PC (1994 - 1997)
Driscoll (2001 - 2007)
Montini (2009 - 2012)
Rochester won 5 in a row (2010 - 2014)
Lena won 19-22 but there was no playoffs in 20 so only 3x champ.
Thats all I can tell from my quick search. I may have a missed someone.

Racki won the first 4. Mike Burzawa won the final 2.
Fwiw … Flyer in the 6th straight finals.
Are you saying that the Flyers have never had a 4-, 5-, or 6-peat? I'm surprised.

3 peat from 83 - 85. Never a 4 peat though
The 80s were Bob Shannon's national championship teams. 1991 was the Chris Moore team.
These rushing stats are ridiculous.
You might see this kind of average from time to time from a big name kid, but not from all 4 of the top rushers…

Opposing teams have to defend the whole field. The Cats can hurt you from every direction.
Some of you prognosticators are taking Oswego all too lightly. As Coach Lynch said, "We ain't won nothing yet." The Panthers turned some heads by knocking off Maine South in the quarters. At 11-2, they must know something about the game of football.
I did on a cold Saturday watching a 5A defensive battle. My team did too. Sorry Bones.No biggieWho else survived the Ice Bowl in 1993?
You all laughed at me! I told you the Friars were tough! 5A prediction was pretty accurate also.

Jealous of their proximity by both Manny's and Al's?
Swing and a miss here
And if anything...it was the Flyers D that led to their demise last nigh, especially in the 2nd half.
Hats off to Fenwick
