Black Diamond Conference 2022 Preview With Coach Big Pete - Flora Ready To Challenge

Welcome back IHSA Football!!! As is every June conference previews and again please remember predictions and previews mean crap. High school football is the greatest thing because of pure parity. What is up last year could be down this year and what is down last year can up this year. ANYTHING AND I MEAN ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN IN IHSA FOOTBALL. Last year 2021 was pure anarchy and no one knew what was going on. Also, unlike some prep writers who take credit and copy and paste the coach's work off a crap team questionnaire I do my own work. Thank You, to the high school coaches that put the info up on HUDL and emailed me info as well.

BLACK DIAMOND CONFERENCE SEASON PREVIEW 2022

Fairfield looks like the top dog this season, and we got a lot of BDC teams losing some key seniors from 2021. Sesser-Valier has a great group of seniors returning and not mention dynamic running attack. Flora to me has settled down and a team you need to see and believe that could challenge Fairfield. Christopher starts with a new era and a young head coach who might actually breathe a new energy to the team. Carmi-White looks weaker than last versions of the Bulldogs but could get into the playoffs. Eldorado to me could be a huge surprise this and could shock some with their playmakers. Johnston City lost a star in Austin Brown but have some key linemen back on spot. Edward County will be a question mark and could they finish a season. Vienna cancelled their varsity season hopefully they can finish the season. Edwards County looking to finish a full season. Hamilton County could be a big-time surprise but needs to win early in that 5-game stretch. My main question again is can we have a BDC team play in an IHSA Title game.

BEST BET: 4 Teams from the Black Diamond make the playoffs

TOP BET: Fairfield wins BDC Title

TELL ME WHY: Black Diamond teams are getting underrepresented in the polls

WE NEED: Vienna & Edwards County too get full Varsity seasons. It means a lot to IHSA Football
