Everything fell into place for football fans and the Illinois High School Association. Saturday’s title game matchups at Huskie Stadium in DeKalb are fantastic.
The Class 8A and Class 7A games feature undefeated powerhouses loaded with star power.
“Two 13-0 large public schools, one from the north and one from the south,” Lincoln-Way East coach Rob Zvonar said. “It is what high school football is all about. It should be a lot of fun.”
Class 6A has East St. Louis, the greatest show on turf, against the Fox Valley conference that has dominated the class in recent years.
Class 5A is also intriguing, with traditional power Rochester moving up a class to deal with St. Rita and emerging star running back Kaleb Brown.
