Rarely has there been a prep football season like this, in which the playoff qualifiers are so clearly separated from the non-qualifiers.
With two weeks still to go, the number of meaningful games is down to a trickle.
Deerfield is 4-3 but has a sure win Week 9 against Maine West to get to 5 wins.
Stevenson is 4-3 but has 1-7 Mundelein to play in Week 9
Wauconda is 3-4 and would have to upset 7-1 Vernon Hills this week to stay alive.
Lake Forest is 4-3 but plays 0-8 Zion-Benton this week.
Lake Zurich is 4-3 but has 0-8 Zion-Benton to play in Week 9
Only Libertyville, currently 3-4, is in an intriguing spot. The Cats play 1-7 Mundelein this week, then must beat Lake Forest to advance at 5-4. This was the same spot Libertyville was in last year, and the Cats came up small against LF.
The guess here is that history will not repeat itself.

HS playoffs - even at 5-4 - is intriguing. Teams can catch fire or get a favorable match up, start to gain some momentum and string together some wins.
L'ville has not won a meaningful game all year. Sure they have played some close games but have not delivered. LF will be hard to beat at home and history repeats itself with the Cats watching the playoffs.
Dude, I actually watched Libertyville take out a pretty good Stevenson club, so the Cats have the potential, at times, to do some damage. Granted, they can be offensively challenged, but their defense could be good enough to hold Air Lake Forest. Last year, Lake Forest won that game. This year, maybe a different result.

One player @ L'ville worth paying to watch and that's Zotto. NC gave them a good game and LZ put them in a vice. Should be a good game but LF will have too many weapons and score enough to win just like last year.
