Edgy, How will Minooka be this year? Which games on their schedule would be best to go watch?

I'd like to see Downstate Edwardsville get to the finals. They have their all-state QB back and more running backs than needed. Tall kids to catch the ball ... but I do not know about the Bubbas up front.

That will be the question.

Until proven otherwise, everything in 8A starts with Lincoln-Way East and Loyola. Those are the teams to beat. I think Glenbard West - if the Hitters stay in 8A - could make a run to the semis. Homewood-Flossmoor is young but ridiculously talented enough to gain the semis as well. Also look out for Marist, Hinsdale Central, Maine South, and New Trier.

8A is the equivalent of World Cup Soccer's Group of Death - tons of championship-caliber teams who will get eliminated in the first and second rounds.
