Regardless of class I've never heard a team celebrating sectional runner up. While I get it sucks for fans who may wanna go I don't get why it matters if they play rd 1, 2 or 3. Win sectional. That's all that counts.
What a brutal draw for Brownstown. I mean Pekin should make sectional finals. Crazy.
WW gets bye and probably out. SV vs Providence again (most likely) at Providence. But should make for a hell of a final game.
Paoli got a good draw.
Was a shame because Linton was open week 9 and picked up Phalen Academy. We talked about this already in another thread but linton/Lutheran wouldve been better for both schools
Watching the last JV game of the year for me (Springs Valley vs Southridge C team) and I gotta say I'm impressed with what Lowe has done with this program in such short order. I've obviously watched a ton of SV over the years and maybe just being closer to the program (my kids go to SV) has made me see more but they definitely seem on right track for at least next 4 to 5 years. They have a slew of good backs and athletes in general coming up. They play fast and physical every play and never shy away from contact on either side of the ball. That wasn't always the case so good on the staff for really turning this program around. He took over a 1-8 team and went 9-2 first year and probably win sectional if not for the Conner Grimes injury. I'll be surprised if they don't win a sectional soon.
They won a sectional their 3rd yr in the tourny. We beat them in thier 7th yr and was already 0-2 at the time against them. All it took was our first sectional title team in 20 years. Haha
Pekin beats Salem for first time since 2011 22-21 on a blocked FG with no time left. So honest question if anyone knows if Salem beats WW does the county title just stay with WW?
Watching Jr high for PLAC and Valley 8th will go undefeated barring a collapse against paoli next week. They have a great RB and a really good QB and some size. Haven't had many close games at all. 7th grade is ok. Haven't got many games. 1-1 in full games 1-2 in games that were 2 Qs.
Mitchell has some good kids. #4 is a good tough kid. QB has decent arm just needs work with accuracy. 7th grade lost thier best player from youth league. They will look to improve next year im sure.
Perry is Perry. Size...power. not much speed that I saw. Lots of close games in the ones I've watched.
WW 8th grade has struggled. They have better numbers and some good players. Not sure the kid playing QB is a QB in future. Xander McPheeters looks like he will be a good fit for Lowery. 7th grade has looked good. They have alot of speed on that team.
Paoli has struggled from what I've seen. I will get them next week up close. There 6th grade group is currently best team in youth league.
