IHSA Football Family Week 2 is here, and we got some big-time matchups with even bigger questions. Can Batavia get the best of Lincoln Way East and give them a loss? Can Mount Carmel be beaten in the regular season? Who can stop the NUIC from getting another state title? How good is Naperville North, Prospect, Stevenson, Seneca, Rochester, Normal, Morgan Park? Can we get a different Southern Illinois contender besides East St. Louis?
