This week’s Quarter Final Game of the Week is actually going to feature 2 separate games.

8A: Oswego (10-1) V Bolingbrook (10-1)

3A: Mt. Carmel Golden Aces (11-0) v St. Joseph Ogden (11-0)

8A- Oswego (10-1) v Bolingbrook (10-1)

🚨SPC Conference Championship 🚨
Saturday - 5:00 pm @ Bolingbrook

Insane Fact - there are 3 P4 RB’s in this game

Oswego enters this game at 10-1. The Panthers after making the state title game last season, have put on an equally, if not more impressive, season this year. Their only loss of the season comes to the hands of Bolingbrook 21 -7 in week 4. Oswego’s offense is led by 4 star RB Ammar Banire (I cannot confirm if he was hurt during the first matchup) and led on defense by, Air Traffic Controller, Iowa St CB commit Dontrell Young. Oswego is coached by Brian Cooney since 2012. Coach Cooney has had 11 9+ win season’s in his 15 year tenure. Coach Cooney also boasts a 77.8% Win Percentage which is 9.2% higher than legendary coach Karl Hoinkes who won 2 state titles (1992 & 2003)

Bolingbrook, who was featured on here in the 1st round, will have a much shorter intro. They are led by a core of division 1 prospects. Bolingbrook currently has 5 players with P4 offers (ND Commit Darrion Prescott, OK state commit TJ Lewis, RB Jordan Donald, OL Brody Kelliher, LB Antoine Norfleet) and one with an FCS offer (Curtis Stubbs). They are coached by former Penn State LB Titcus Pettigrew.

3A-

Mt Carmel v St Joseph Ogden
Saturday - 1:30 pm @ St Joseph Ogden

Despite both school being very far removed from the Chicagoland area, this game had to be featured. Both schools are entering the game at 11-0.

The Golden Aces offense is averaging 38.5 PPG and is led by junior standout, QB River Deisher. Deisher has just under 2000 pass yards on the season while also having 1300 rush yards on the year. SR WR Shain Meador has over 1000 yards on the season and 9 TD’s. Not impressed yet? Shain Meador also has 6 interceptions on the season!

St. Joseph Ogden is entering this game averaging an absurd 53.3 PPG. Their offense is anchored by Oregon Commit OL Cameron Wagner. The Spartans have their own impressive JR QB in Lane McKinney who has 2140 yds passing and 1338 yds rushing. McKinney has accounted for 53 TDS on this season! While, Jr RB Logan Umbarger has another 17 scores. McKinney also has 6 interceptions on the season!

[Chicagoland Football @ChcgolandFball]

@ColeSheeks I was at game on Saturday starting QB Lefevour was dressed but not playing. I can’t confirm but I’ve heard he hasn’t played a snap in the playoffs, I can confirm he did not play v Hinsdale central

This week’s team of the weekend happens to not be a Chicagoland team!

Congratulations to the Morris Warriors

In the most anticipated Class 4A matchup of the year the undefeated Morris Warriors walked out of it as clear winners.

Montini came in as b2b state champions looking for a three-peat, led by 5-star Miami commit Israel Abrams. Morris, sitting at a perfect record, had other plans. The Warriors controlled the game and pulled away for a 41-7 victory.

Junior quarterback Marion Persich (LaSalle-Peru transfer, Miami of Ohio offer) put on a Herculean effort. He accounted for over 300 all purpose yards and kept Morris moving all night. The win wasn’t just about one guy, though.

Sophomore Mayson Munson returned a punt for a score, and late in the game Caden Medler picked off a pass and took it the distance to seal it for the Warriors.

Abrams was injured in the third quarter and taken off the field. Montini wideout Damacio Ortegon still finished with over 100 receiving yards (Saginaw Valley State commit), but the Broncos never got going after the early going.

What Now:

Coach Alan Thorson has taken Morris to two state runner-up finishes before. This group looks like the one that could finally get over the hump. The Warriors are now averaging 47.5 PPG while allowing just 9.3 outscoring opponents by 38.3 points a night.

Next up: Morris hosts Sterling on Saturday (time TBD).

This is probably the best 8A QF that we have seen.

1) Mt. Carmel (9-2)v Lincoln Way East (11-0)🤯

Nothing else has to be said about this one

2) Oswego (10-1)v Bolingbrook (10-1)

Bolingbrook won the matchup 20-7 in the regular season. I will be dubbing this as the SPC conference Championship!

3) Loyola 10-1 v St. Ignatius (9-2)

Loyola rolled in the first matchup 38-7. However, Ignatius has beaten every team by at least 14 since their matchup.

CCL Blue v CCL Orange champs
*Loyola had best record in CCL Blue - 3 teams split 2-1

4) New Trier (10-1) v Huntley (11-0)

New Trier beat HF in an amazing game on Friday night. Huntley is beating teams by an average of 40 points…

*Huntley beat Cary-grove this season

🚨we will be doing a deep breakdown of each of these games🚨
