2005 2A 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's 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 should miss each weekend "The Big Game" & who the best teams in the state are regardless of class "The Big 30". Brackets & Scores 2005 Title Game Date & Time; Nov. 25th 1pm Last Years Champ; Sterling (Newman Central Catholic)(13-1) Runner-up; Carthage(13-1) Favorites to win the title;Carthage(9-0),Maroa
(M.-Forsyth)(9-0) & Dakota (9-0), Favorites to win the title; Maroa (M.-Forsyth)(9-0) - Luke Hockaday (QB 6'2 175 jr) has helped breath life back into the Trojans football program. After Maroa showed up to the playoffs last year at 6-3, they helped prove that there's a reason you play the games, as they marched all the way to the semi-finals before losing toSterling (Newman Central Catholic)14-7. The Trojans are set to meet up with the Comets again this year as long as they're not the victims of an upset this time around. Standing in their way is a possible 2nd round match up withDecatur (St. Teresa) . A team they've beaten once this year, but also the team they upset in the first round in 2004. It would be sweet irony things were reversed this year, as the Trojans had lost the regular season match up to the Bulldogs in 2004. Dakota (9-0) - While Dakota's offense isn't as flashy as Maroa's or Carthage, they're only scoring a dismal 39 points a game compared with to the 45 & 50 of the other two favorites. The Indians have been consistent pretty much the entire year on defense. Giving up 20 points once as they allowed just 82 points this year so far. What we really like about Dakota is that they're coming out of theNorthwest Upstate Illini (North)Conference, which has been represented in the finals game in both of the last two years. WithGalenain 2003 &Stockton2004. We think that the Indians will have a good shot at playing at U of I on Thanksgiving weekend.
Other Title Threats; Sidell (Jamaica) (8-1) - Sterling (Newman Central Catholic)(8-1) -
The Dark Horses; Gibson City (G.C.-Melvin-Sibley) (7-2) - allowing just 6 points a game Forreston (5-4) - lost 3 of the 4 games by a total of 6 points, has faced 6 playoff teams
