We are now with 1/3 season left. 3 games left that could make and break a season for teams that were dreaming of chasing a title in summer days of camp. Alot of 2-win teams that need to win out and get a shot at the playoffs with playoff points. Alot of scoreboard watching and IHSAFOOTBALL.COM visiting for score watching these coming weeks. Edwardsville vs Belleville East is the big matchup in the Southern Illinois for Week 7. Boylan taking on Harlem along with Blevidere North vs Hononegah are the big games up in the Northern Illinois in that NIC-10 Conference. Coal City takes on Wilmington in somewhat seen as the championship game in the ICE. Du-Pec tries to recoup against a tough NUIC opponent in Fulton. Wethersfield takes on undefeated Farmington that could be a challenge for the Farmers. ICCP tries to seek a win against a legendary giant in Loyola Academy after an upset loss to St. Francis. Lincoln Way West challenges Bradley Bourbonnais trying to catch up to juggernaut East. Murphysboro is still shining and undefeated taking a tough Harrisburg team and their punishing running attack. St. Francis riding high after an upset of ICCP takes on a dominating trench team in St. Rita. Washington challenges an undefeated Dunlap that looks to keep the streak going. York with zero losses takes on Glenbard West team that found their groove back and looking to pull the shocker.
