Central State 8 Conference 2021 Preview With Coach Big Pete: Leonard Battle Again
Welcome back IHSA Fall Football!!! As is every August I do 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. Also unlike some prep writers who take credit and copy and past the coaches work. Thank You, to the high school coaches that put the info up on HUDL and emailed me info as well. Also I am not taking that much from the COVID Spring Season. Spring Season was a very weird and crazy time. Was going to do Conference Preview videos, but no one needs to see my face till next week. It will be just article form
Central State 8 2021 Fall Preview
Welp!!!! Its either Rochester or Sacred Heart Griffin who are going to win the Central State Eight. That's it goodnight folks...... Oh, you want something else don't you? Some scary stories maybe? Well I got three teams that could be horror stories in the Central State Eight, and they could throw a wrench in the Leonard Plans. Springfield HS could get again some major upsets like they did in 2019. Rashad Rochelle is a big time playmaker for the Senators that could kill any defense. Next one is Jacksonville, they have Illinois best kept secrets in QB Elijah Owens who can kill you with his arm and legs. Then we got Glenwood, Glenwood could make a major run in the CS8 and most likely get 6-7 wins in conference. They could also give Rochester and SHG a major headache as well. Rochester again features a dominate offense not to mention deep depth. Sacred Heart Griffin has a crazy amount of athletic linebackers that can lay the major lumber. Ken Leonard has some great upcoming Class of 2023 and 2024 players on that Cyclone team. Decatur MacArthur will have more improved record unlike they did in the spring keep an eye out for their passing attack. Call me crazy but I think Lanphier could be a problem again this season. Eisenhower brings back a team hopefully they can build on that and get this program back on tracks. I have no doubt in my mind that Coach Dampeer will do his best with these kids. University to me has one of the tougher schedules in the CS8 and I think they have to win early to prove something. Springfield Southeast looks very interesting but that schedule like University is tough one for them.
BEST BET: We will see 5 Central State 8 Teams In The IHSA Playoffs
BEST BET 2: Leonard Bowl will decide the CS8 again
TELL ME WHY: Back in 2019 Rochester making St. Rita forum/message board posters look stupid was the greatest thing in the world
TELL ME WHY 2: Why does Channel 1450 continue to outdo and put to shame Chicago Media Outlets for Prep Football Coverage
