Lincoln-Way Schools Take Center Stage in High School Football Rankings

What an exciting time for the folks in Lincoln-Way! Certainly, there’s some buzz around town as all three Lincoln-Way schools are now basking in glory, having made it into the coveted Super 25 high school football rankings. That’s right! It’s not every day that your alma mater finds itself rubbing shoulders with the top teams in the land.

A Thrilling Week 4 for Lincoln-Way West

This past week, Lincoln-Way West got the crowd roaring by edging out Lincoln-Way Central in a nail-biting contest that kept everyone on the edge of their seats! The win was a local favorite in Week 4, and it’s no surprise that the victory propelled Lincoln-Way West to a high spot in the rankings. Just imagine those Friday night lights and the energy filling the air as fans cheered their team to victory.

A Bright Spot for Lincoln-Way Central

Even without a standout win this season, Lincoln-Way Central is holding strong in the rankings. Their earlier triumph against Providence gained a little more weight after Carmel scored a big upset over St. Laurence. This shows that sometimes it’s not just about what you do but also about how your opponents fare as the season unfolds.

Montini’s Meteoric Rise

Montini made headlines by making one of the biggest leaps in the ranks after celebrating a solid win over Fenwick this week. It’s clear they are on a roll and will be looking to maintain that momentum. Excitement is buzzing; will they continue their climb in the next few weeks?

What About Other Teams? A Bit of a Shaker!

The competition is fierce, so it’s interesting to see how other successful programs like Loyola, Downers Grove North, Barrington, and Lyons suffered losses, but they managed to hang onto their spots in the rankings, albeit with a slight drop. It’s a reminder that even the best can have an off day. On the flip side, Sandburg made a splash by entering the rankings for the first time this season with a convincing win against Richards. However, there’s a sprinkle of skepticism around Sandburg’s rise since their opponents have a somewhat mixed record of just 8-8 this season, making fans wonder about their staying power in the top tier.

Out with the Old, In with the New

As the rankings shake up, it’s worth noting that both St. Rita and Palatine were dropped from the Super 25 list since they needed more wins to recover their standings. It’s the classic case of what goes up must come down in high school football.

Mount Carmel Rules the Roost

Meanwhile, Mount Carmel is still sitting pretty at the top of the Super 25 with an impressive undefeated record of 4-0 after trouncing St. Ignatius 41-14. How about that for a statement win!

Other Rankings That Caught Our Eye

Other notable mentions include:

  • Lincoln-Way East: 4-0 and ranked 2nd after a big win of 49-14 against Lockport.
  • Brother Rice: Also 4-0 and sitting at 3rd place with a solid win of 28-6 against Loyola.
  • Loyola: Now 2-1 stays at 4th but feeling the sting after their loss.
  • Glenbard West: 4-0 in 5th place after defeating Downers Grove North.
  • Sandburg: Rounding out the list at 25th place with their record of 4-0.

Exciting Matchups Ahead

As we look ahead to the coming games, folks are buzzing about some pivotal matchups on the horizon. Lincoln-Way West faces off against Waubonsie Valley, while Sandburg is set for a showdown against Homewood-Flossmoor. The excitement is electric, and fans are counting down the days!

With high hopes and some fierce competition, Lincoln-Way schools are certainly making their mark this season. It’s going to be thrilling to see how everything unfolds in the weeks to come. Make sure to keep your eyes on the scoreboard!
