2006 6A Playoff Central Welcome to Playoff Central. IHSFW.com gives you an in depth look at how the playoffs may take shape, by putting you right in the middle of our information control room. We break down who we think is the best bet to win it all and who are the most likely challengers. We also give you a list of the dark horse teams, or sleepers. Those teams that are overlooked throughout the year, but may sneak up o you in the playoffs or those pesky 6-3 & 5-4 teams that don't know when to quit. You can also get the latest info on what games you shouldn't miss each round in "The Big Game" & who the best teams in the state are regardless of class "The Big 30". Brackets & Scores 2006 Title Game Date & Time; Nov. 25th 10 am Last Years Champ; Morris (14-0) Runner-up; Normal (Community)(12-2) Favorites to win the title; Normal
(Community) 9-0 & Cary
(C.-Grove) 9-0 Normal (Community) 9-0 - The only team in the state that has a better defense than the Ironmen is the #5 Trojans of Cary-Grove. And if all things work out these two teams will be facing off Thanksgiving weekend. The Ironmen bring back some of the talent that helped them almost steal the title from heavily favored Morris last year. Sam Smith, Kirkland Grant & Austin Kull are just some of the veterans returning to the post season with the Ironmen. Junior running back Austin Davis is another piece of the puzzle which could give Normal their first state title. Normal's QB Omar Clayton has been a welcome addition to the team as well. Cary (C.-Grove) 9-0 - The Trojans have the stingiest defense in the state. Giving up a field goal a game for the most part. The Grove is looking to have a good shot at a return trip to the finals after finishing 2nd in 2004. The biggest question remaining for the Trojans is how will they do out side of the Fox Valley conference. With every game played between another conference team, Cary-Grove's first playoff game will be it's first test out side of the conference.
Oak Lawn (Richards) 8-1 - These Bulldogs are no strangers to the playoffs. Making their 22 in a row, it's no wonder head coach Gary Korhonen didn't his 300th career victory before this season. With a bracket that could have them facing the usual group of their South Suburban conference teams, Richards could be in the semifinals before you know it.
Chicago (Hubbard) 7-2 - Last season 6A semifinalist have a tough road ahead of them. And while their season opening loss to #9 St. Rita was a red mark against them, the 26-23 loss to Simeon was a shock, but the fact of the matter is the Greyhounds still have the top running back in the state in Robert Hughes and could do some serious damage in 6A if the rest of the team chips in. |
