This will help us with our mythological rankings and Tiers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abbatt Posted August 7, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2018 Thoughts on Naperville Central..... They finished 9-3 last year, defeating West Aurora and Homewood-Flossmoor in the play-offs before losing to Maine South 39-28.Their other losses were to rival Naperville North 44-41 and St.Eds Ohio 34-24. They return 9 starters ...4 OF...5 DF...Key players are Western Michigan commit QB Payton Thorne 6`2..195...OL Luke Hallstrom 6`2..280 WR..Jared Sucivets 6`3 ..195 and DL Ben Clanchetti..6`6..230. Their conference..The Dupage Valley has been re-aligned with 4 teams out , thus forcing the remaining teams to play a conference foe twice. This year it is rival Naperville North. In addition they have very tough non-league games against Hinsdale Central..defending 8A Champ..Lincoln-Way East ...a big match at Louisville Trinity and a final game against perennial 7A power..Cary-Grove. Their games against LWE and Trinity will be the real litmus test. I see a play-off team with a 6-3 record. Hey Folsom..which games did you see ? Bro...I sincerely hope that you aren`t working in Chicago...The gang-fueled violence is beyond any reason. GSB...right now the 8A favorites would be defending champ LWE...Maine South.....and Loyola Academy. I will cover it more in depth when I post the Illinois thread tonight. I will also give my predictions for the OOS games that are listed on this site. What about New Jersey ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
