Can anyone stop Montini, East St. Louis, ICCP, Rochester, Lincoln Way East, Mount Carmel, St. Rita?
These teams are going be something special this season. Especially with the reclassifications of Montini to 3A and ICCP to 2A. East St. Louis has a young QB but has one of the best WR cores in the Illinois not if the Midwest. Mount Carmel looks ready to rock this season and Coach Lynch wants another title. Lincoln Way East looks for another ring under the Zvonar dynasty. St. Rita wants that IHSA state title and everyone should be scared. That is a grown man's offensive line right there.
Ref Shortage
Helicopter parents, snowplow parents, yelling coaches mix for a horrible future of getting refs for youth sports and high school sports.
TELL ME WHY? Why Have Some (very few) Chicagoland Area Prep Reporters Become More & More Defensive On Twitter?
Can't be critical of them or they will block you. Can't bring up a fact or they will block you. Can't mention a tweet that is not factual or they will block you.
Thank You Central, Southern Illinois reporters for being good reporters and not giant snowflakes.

Tell Me Why We (INCLUDING ME) Continue To Overrate Illinois QBs?
Illinois is a beef state and will always be a beef state for recruiters. We produce the big boys. We don't really have a good history of production with QBs in College.

DO NOT SLEEP ON NAZARETH
Why are people sleeping on Naz this season? They have a highly skilled QB and dangerous group of athletes. Oh, and look Tim Racki is still head coach.. Come on IHSA Football Family
Montini Wins 3A Title..... No Need For Other Teams To Show Up
Its Over!!!! Montini moves to 3A and all the teams have no chance. Does Montini have talent, yup no doubt about it. BUT, some of those rural schools that run that Triple Option, Wing T, Double Wing could give the Broncos a run for their money. You can have all the talent in the world but if you don't have technique.... ITS GOING TO BE A LONG GAME
Glenbard South IS THE REAL DEAL.....
GBS & Coach Crissey are Illinois best kept secrets in the IHSA. GBS looks like a huge contender that people need to be talking about.

Coach James has got a team that is going to take IHSA by storm this Fall and in coming years.
