Phillips and Mount Carmel: two teams with great things to say about one another.🎥🏈
Saturday's game is no Prep Bowl.
This IHSA playoff matchup is the "South Side Super Bowl."

Thought we'd bring this out again. With Phillips moving on to the 7A quarterfinals, they keep one of our streaks alive:
Every 'Drive' team we have ever profiled has made it to --at least-- the quarterfinal round of the IHSA playoffs. 🏈
FINAL: Phillips advances in the 7A playoffs with a 20-0 win over Normal Community at Gately Stadium. The Wildcats will travel to Mount Carmel next week.
