Althoff playing 1A football is crazy. I was looking at the 247 recruit rankings. They have:

#7 Dierre Hill (Oregon)
#12 Jason Dowell (Missouri)
#27 Charleston Coldon (Boston College)

3 high D1 players on the same 1A football team…I’d like to see an Althoff-ESL game

Althoff would get boat raced by esl. They have talent by they also lost big in the 1a playoffs last year

LW only starts a few seniors so they should be back next year. althoff will be 3a next year.
I can't wait to watch the Althoff/Byron game next year. 🤣 these smaller public schools are going to have become a little more diverse on offense if they want to keep their nose in these games.

Althoff in the 1A title game is a joke, shame on you IHSA.

I am glad CPC clowned them last year.

Well Althoff loses almost their entire team. Canp Point beat this same Althoff team last year running wing t. Iccp will be 2a next year if they can qualify for the playoffs

AC have some absolute units on their team. Dierre Hill is ridiculous. Makes me wonder how far they could've played up this year.

They would be able to compete with Montini and the teams in 4a and 5a.
I told my wife that I think Montini would he in trouble against that team.
Maroa got punched in the mouth by Chicago-Christian. I still expect a 4 quarter game here, but I think Maroa is shocked by the speed and physicality.

Illinois recruit Grant Smith not looking very impressive for Maroa today. Needs the weight room for strength and speed.
 
#142      
21-0 Chicago Christian at half

if they win , this will be that schools first men’s state championship in any sport in its history
They are really good. Very impressed.
Looks like it will be 2-0 private schools in a huge way.

the coach , Cesario, is first year guy
last year coached Sophs at Mt Carmel

some alums are concerned he gets hired away this off season

Yes Chicago Christian was the better team by far. Maroa couldn't run, pass, catch or tackle. Bad combination.

It would be a good game against Montini. Althoff being in 1a is insane. They might have the biggest oline playing this weekend. The playoffs this year have been bad very few competitive games

I'm tired of private schools with small enrollments dominating football. They really need to have a 1A-4A public school and 1A-4A private school division.

When a 2A team good enough to make the title game can only gain 23 yards, there's a problem. You probably don't need 8 classes in total either. Maybe on 3 classes for public and private or 4 for public 2 for private, but would much prefer to see some of these small towns play rather than small private schools.

I hope the IHSA is proud that they could deliver these awesome games on TV.
This is a joke, but still happy for nephew and niece.
