Coach Big Pete's IHSA Games Of The Week For Week 5 2023 & Scouting Notes (Recruit Risers)

Alright IHSA Football Family it's time for one of the weirdest weeks of the season. 0-4 teams are realizing that they got to win 5 straight games, or their playoff dreams are done. This Week 5 is always one of the wildest weeks, we get some out of the world upsets. We have teams that turn it on with their offensive line play. Defense that hasn't been seen in four weeks just straight shows up on Week 5. It is a pure chaotic week that usually no sees coming, which is funny if you think about it. Southwest Surburban Conference has a straight schedule of pure battles this week. Can West Aurora, Bloomington Central Catholic, Barrington, Lake Zurich, Normal, Sesser-Valier, Seneca, Glenwood get to 5-0? Who can stop Loyola Academy, Lincoln Way East, Rochester, Edwardsville, South Elgin?
Quick Reminder No DEEP DISH FOOTBALL POLLS!!!!
Its over, and its done. I'm happy about that!
