Three groups be a part of after the primary week of the season.
That was one heck of every week. It’s been a very long time for the reason that first week of the season packed such a punch. There have been two heavyweight battles (Morgan Park vs. Young, Marian Catholic vs. Bloom) and several other gamers jumped out of the gates early to ascertain themselves as stars (taking a look at you Brandon Weston and Christian Shumate).
Just a few underneath the radar groups additionally had eye-opening begins. Hinsdale South, Proviso East, Plainfield Central, Wheaton North and Waubonsie Valley are all unbeaten.
Dropping out
Oak Park (2-2): Another tough begin to the season for the Huskies. This crew is fairly younger and it seems that confirmed this week in losses to Morton and Riverside-Brookfield.
Cary-Grove (3-1): Losing to York is much from a catastrophe for the Trojans. Vince Doran has constructed a extremely profitable program that’s kind of perpetually underestimated. Cary-Grove picked up a pleasant win in opposition to Palatine. This crew will probably be again within the Super 25 ultimately.
Westinghouse (1-2): There are only a few groups that would survive opening the season at Benet and Fenwick. I watched the Warriors lose to the Friars and was really a bit impressed, they may be somewhat higher than I anticipated this season. But they’re gone for now.
New additions
Benet (3-0): Well that didn’t take lengthy. The Redwings knocked off two preseason ranked groups. Jack Prock can play.
Glenbrook South (4-0): Dom Martinelli is a pressure. The Titans knocked off Zion-Benton, Buffalo Grove and Uplift.
Joliet West (4-0): This was a tricky name. There have been fairly a couple of groups that would have grabbed the final spot together with Proviso East, Oak Forest and Loyola. But the Tigers completely demolished Brother Rice and Lincoln-Way East in order that they get the nod.
