The day that every football player in his teens dreams about has arrived. The Big Game. The one where you leave it all on the field. The one that memories are made. It's time to crown the State Champion. If these games play out anything close to the barn burners last weekend, the entire state of Illinois is in for a few treats this weekend. Lets see....

QB:
1. Brandon Pechloff, Montini: 264 yds, 4 tds
2. Mike Perish, Marist (6-2): 249 yds, 4 tds
3. Tommy Rees, Lake Forest (3-5): 245 yds, td
4. Robert Galik, St. Rita (7-1): 234 yds, 2 tds
5. Jimmy Garoppolo, Rolling Meadows (5-2): 219 yds, 2 tds; 120 yds rushing, td
RB:
1. Matt Perez, Maine South (8-0): 352 yards, 4 td
2. Jalen Williams, Larkin (6-2): 248 yards, 3 tds
3. Josh Ferguson, Joliet Catholic (6-2): 237 yards, td
4. Rashaan Fox , Mather (6-2): 231 yds, 3 tds
5. Brock Douglas, Plainfield Central (4-4): 230 yards, 2 tds
WR:
1. Jahliel Thurman, Lindblom (4-4): 175 yards, 4 tds
2. Davonte Pendleton, Harlan (6-2): 175 yards, 2 tds
3. Mark McDonagh, Riverside-Brookfield (5-3): 159 yards
4. AJ Smith, North Lawndale (4-4): 155 yards
5. Ryley Bailey, Kaneland (5-3): 148 yards, td
DEFENSE:
1. Christopher Winston, Perspectives (6-2): 18 tackles, 13 sacks, 3 forced fumbles
2. Corey Thomas, Lindblom (4-4): 10 tackles, 2 sacks
3. Rashaan Fox, Mather (6-2): 10 tackles
4. Nick Mandich, Grayslake Central (?-?): 9 tackles, forced fumble
5. Ellis Gary, Perspectives (6-2): 8 tackles, 3 sacks, 2 fumble recoveries, 1 td
Before yesterday, two high school players were tied for the lead for most sacks recorded in a single game with six; Aaron Marshall of Lane did it twice in the '92 campaign and Jon Kowalshyen of Leyden did it against Willowbrook in '97.
But yesterday, October 17, 2009, Christopher Winston of Perspectives racked up a mind blowing 13 sacks. He finished the game with 18 total tackles. If you do the math, 72.2% of his tackles were sacks.
And on the other side of the ball, Riverside-Brookfield's Mark McDonagh set new state and national records for receptions in a season by ending the day with catch 144 on the year. He topped the record set by Lexington's Eric Schuler (130) in 2006.
McDonagh already has set the state record for receptions in a single game earlier this season when he pulled in 20 catches in the 64-26 blowout of Robeson in Week 3.

Game of the Week
So, it's Week 8 and it's pretty much determined who it is that will be playing in the playoffs at the end of the month. What class these teams will actually land is yet to be determined, but, that never really has mattered to me. If a team is good enough to get to the dance, it doesn't matter who they're dancing with, all they need to do is dance. If you didn't pick up on it, the dance is the playoffs.
This coming weekend will be big, with explosive game after explosive game.
Somebody's door to a beautiful, undefeated season will be closed this weekend when
(22)Crystal Lake South goes to (19)Cary-Grove Friday night to battle at 7:15.
(9)Glenbard North plays host and hopes to derail (3)WW South Friday night at 7:30.
Two of the L-W schools will do the dance Friday as well as (25)L-W Central hosts (10)L-W East at 7 o'clock.
Dan Sharp's boys at (13)Joliet Catholic go to (21)Marian Catholic to try and better their playoff spot.
And a newby to Steve Tucker's Top 25, (20)Glenbrook South will try to upset (1)Maine South Saturday at 1:30 in the afternoon.
But then there is the game that matters most to me, and since this is my blog, I can admit this game to the list; Minooka at Oswego, 7 p.m. Friday.
With a win, 5-2 Minooka will lock up a spot in the dance. With a loss, they'll have to really step it up for their season ender. Oswego, also 5-2, is sitting in the same boat as the Indians. If the Panthers win, they're in, with a loss, they've got to step it up as well.
Predictions:
Cary-Grove 28, Crystal Lake South 26
Glenbard North 37, WW South 21
L-W East 39, L-W Central 12
Joliet Catholic 56, Marian Catholic 38
Maine South 35, Glenbrook South 32
Minooka 49, Oswego 37

Game of the Week
This was a tough decesion to make with Joliet Catholic cruising East down Rt. 30 to play against Providence in the "Two Power House Football Programs From The Joliet Area Bowl" this Friday, considering the two schools have stockpiled 22 state titles between them, but The Game of the Week will be played at Maine South as the #2 Hawks play host to #1 WW South at 7:30. Get there early people, it's going to be tough finding a seat.

WEEK 1 IS OVA!!!
So, the first week of high school football is complete and for the most part, the games played out pretty much as many believed they would. But there were a few early season upsets. But upsets make you stronger.
A very big congrats to the Robeson defense, who allowed just 13 yards of offense during their 40-6 man handling of Julian. Dion Grace led the attack with eight tackles and three sacks while freshman Devaughn Gaultney picked up a sack and a fumble recovery. The Robeson "D" also stopped the Julian "O" 15 times behind the line of scrimmage.
In Robbie Gould like fashion, Joliet Catholic kicker Robbie Cranmer kicked a 35-yarder that split the uprights, with no clicks left on the clock, to win the game against Carmel 19-16. Congrats for not loosing your cool like I would have, Robbie, and missed the ball as I tried to kick it.
And to wrap it up, another congrats goes to the boys over at Maine East who have finally ended that horrible 39-game loosing streak they've been riding since 2004 by beating Schurz 19-9. Their last win, 22-0, came October 3, 2004 against Niles North. Feels real nice doesn't it boys?
