Bones Posted September 3, 2022 Author Share Posted September 3, 2022 Friday night results Lincoln Way East 31 Batavia 16 - LWE jumped out to a dominating 31-0 lead at half and took the foot off the pedal for the 2nd half. Batavia to their credit didn't give up and put some things together in half 2 to make it look decent. Crystal Lake South 43 Cary Grove 39 - not sure what happened here, but CG is supposed to beat CLS. Joliet Catholic 23 Immaculate Conception 22 - back and forth game all night, JCA scored late to ice it. IC is the 3A favorite. JCA will be on the 4A short list. St. Rita 17 Bro. Rice 12 - back and forth rivalry game goes to Rita Warren 19 Maine South 17 - Warren finally gets over the Maine South hump. Both offenses struggled, but Warren did enough to pull out the W. Wheaton Warrenville South 10 Neuqua Valley 7 OT - highly ranked NV goes down and loses their highly regarded QB in the process. This result begs the question of how good Simeon may be this year considering the Wolverines took WWS to the woodshed last week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bones Posted September 4, 2022 Author Share Posted September 4, 2022 Saturday Score Simeon 35 Bolingbrook 31 - Defenses struggled in this one. Came down to the last drive as Simeon intercepted an ill advised pass from the freshman into the endzone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GardenStateBaller Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 ESL should be #1 for its SOS of 64.9 and for hanging with the #1 team in America. LA SOS 7.1 MC SOS 21.8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw where a ESL guy said they have to pick up these games to prepare for the playoffs otherwise they come up north and get beat. Luckily they'll have the opportunity with Simeon in 6A. Last year it was Cary Grove, and honestly we don't know how good CG was because of their closed conference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the national rankings think ESL sits on a perch atop IL football due to exposure (they play these games) and offer sheets. Thats all good and I applaud them for it. Fact still remains that the on field results haven't shown it against the state's best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carmel (2-0) @ Niles Notre Dame (2-0) St. Mary's (MO) @ Neuqua Valley (1-1) - NV lost its highly regarded QB this weekend.

You gotta get out to IL in mid fall to catch a game at GBW's Duchon Field. I'm pretty sure it made those best venues lists. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't play a top 20 IL team all year. Maybe they meet Simeon in the 6A finals. That's the only chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bones Posted September 10, 2022 Author Share Posted September 10, 2022 Friday results Loyola 34 St Rita 14 - Loyola jumps out to a 28-0 halftime lead. Reserves for both teams get some good PT in the 2nd half. Mt Carmel 42 Niles Notre Dame 0 - looks like Mt Carmel and Loyola are on a collision course for week 9 with only Marist looking to give either a game. Neuqua Valley 21 St Mary's 20 - defending MO state champ goes down to NV breaking in a new QB Wheaton North 27 Batavia 24 - looks like the pundits were wrong about both these teams as WN is still undefeated and defending their 7A title against Batavia who many pegged as a 7A favorite, who falls to 1-2. Creekside 10 East St Louis 8 - ESL offense struggled again, but defense continues to play well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
