It's a week filled with some tremendous matchups, as the # 1 and # 5 ranked teams in 3A go head-to-head, and the # 2 and # 3 teams in 1A battle. A rainy Thursday night may play in to these big matchups on Friday.
Thoughts and Predictions:
PGP @ Illini West - To use a greatly over-used cliche "If you want to be the best, you have to beat the best." Well, I think we all understand that IW is "the best." And if PGP wants respect, they NEED to win this game. Can they do it? Yes. Can they do it with the penalties and mistakes we've seen a number of times this year? Nope. PGP will have to play their best game of the season to come out on top in this one. IW still has to try to stop the PGP offense, which has proven to be a tough task. Prediction - call me a homer or a dreamer but, PGP 38 IW 32
Carrollton @ Pleasant Hill/Western - After a heartbreaking loss last week at Greenfield, PHW is really hungry to get back on the winning track. The loss of Brian Black will be hard to fill, but Jake Yancer is a kid who is more than capable of coming in and filling the void. I think PHW needs to stay with an 80:20 run-pass ratio to help control the clock in this one. Prediction PHW 38 Carrollton 19
Triopia @ BC - Probably the best matchup on paper in the state of Illinois this week. In one corner you have Triopia - Defending State Champs, winners of 21 straight, and more confidence than you can shake a stick at. In the other corner you have BC - Tremenous Defense, Great running game, and looking to prove that they are the elite team in the area. This one should be a lot of fun. Prediction BC 24 Triopia 18
BPCA @ Knoxville - After getting a healthy dosage of Sam Ghrist and the Saukee defense, BPCA will rebound nicely with a win over unbeaten Knoxville. BPCA is just way to physical to lose this one. Prediction BPCA 34 Knoxville 13
