Upstate Eight Conference 2023 Preview With Coach Big Pete - A Raider Storm Is Forming
We are back IHSA Football Family!!! As is every summer 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. Last year, 2022 was mild to surprises and was calm predictable season. Also, unlike some prep writers who take credit and copy and paste the coach's work off a crap team questionnaire I do my own work. Thank You, to the high school coaches that put the info up on HUDL and emailed me info as well.
UPSTATE EIGHT CONFERENCE 2023 Season Preview
We can talk about the star-studded offense of Glenbard South again. Though, South Elgin has proven to be the team that maintains a conference lead along with its option offense. Glenbard South dynamic offense will be a huge key, but the defense needs to take charge this season. Glenbard East losses an elite defense line but actually has young stars rising the ranks along with good group of linebackers. Bartlett is looking to be surprise this season and might shock a lot of teams this season with Mancilla, and Ibegulem. East Aurora is walking the steps of becoming a great program, and that's all you really can ask for this season. The big thing for EAHS is they need challenge does conference big dogs out of the gate. West Chicago just like EAHS is making process to becoming a winning program, Chavez era is looking golden and is being built brick by brick. Elgin and Larkin loss key playmakers to transferring and look really green for this season. Fenton is still trying to build a program this season but have some talent on the line. Streamwood is another team with dynamic athleticism, but the line play is a huge question this season.
