Central State 8 Conference 2019 Preview With Coach Big Pete
This is an intresting conference this season you got Glenwood Chatham , Rochester as the two top dogs in this conference. Also you have a bunch of middle of tier teams that could prove to pull some upsets in SHG, Decatuer MacArthur, Springfield High School, Springfield Southeast. No doubt that some of those middle tier teams could be a top dog by week 4. In the CS8 I have a short term surprise team in Jacksonville, but I have l long term surprise team in Eishenhower with their great hire in Coach Thompson. Again as always the Leonard Bowl will set the pace for the Central State Eight with Rochester of course looking to be the early on favorite. Keep an eye out for Springfield Southeast star QB Stuart Ross Class of 2020- could give alot defenses fits this season.
GAME I WANT TO SEE: Rochester vs ICCP IHSA Playoffs
TOP BET: Glenwood Chatham is stacked, but what will be key is how transfer Ian Benner fits in with the Titans
BEST OFFSEASON HIRE IN THE IHSA: Steven Thompson Eisenhower Head Coach
