Southwest Suburban Conference 2023 Preview With Coach Big Pete - Can Anyone Challenge The Griffins?
We are back IHSA Football Family!!! As is every summer conference previews and again please remember predictions and previews mean crap. High school football is the greatest thing because of pure parity. What is up last year could be down this year and what is down last year can up this year. ANYTHING AND I MEAN ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN IN IHSA FOOTBALL. Last year, 2022 was mild to surprises and was calm predictable season. Also, unlike some prep writers who take credit and copy and paste the coach's work off a crap team questionnaire I do my own work. Thank You, to the high school coaches that put the info up on HUDL and emailed me info as well.
SOUTHWEST SUBURBAN CONFERENCE 2023 Season Preview
That is the question on everybody's mind for this conference who can beat Lincoln Way East. Homewood Flossmoor looks plenty to the challenge with some great trench play and devasting running attack. Vikings have a treasure chest of young linemen studs. Bolingbrook has phenom at QB along with stifling defense and new head coach brining new energy with the Raiders. Lockport looks ready to make a challenge this season after a first round one and done in 2022. Sandburg could be ready to burst at the seams with young talent developed ready to take the next step. On the other division we got Bradley Bourbonnais ready to take the next step this season star QB Kohl. BBCHS loses some great talent at the WR spot, but Coach Kohl manages to develop talent at that spot. Andrew is always waiting in the wings and Coach Lew has had those Bolts fighting every season. Andrew plays that tough physical football with dash of discipline. Lincoln Way West always seems to have the talent but have been able to put together wins. Lincoln Way Central could be surprise this season, and we are due for something special from the Knights in this conference. Stagg has the all the size, but do they have enough playmakers to take into November.
BEST BET: 6-7 Teams in the SSC will make the playoffs.
TELL ME WHY: SSC Linemen production has slowed down past 2 years. Looks to be picking up.
TELL ME WHY 2: Lockport looks ready for another run.
TELL ME WHY 3: SSC could benefit from lack of private school dream teams in 2023.
WOULD LOVE TO SEE: SSC All Star Game
TOP BET 2: Titcus Pettigrew will be a nominee for Coach of the Year in Illinois by the end of October
WHATS SCARY: Looking like shades of 2021
TOP BET 3: Andrew vs BBCHS for the Red Title

COACH BIG PETE'S 5 TAKES FROM THE SOUTH SUBURBAN CONFERENCE 2023
1. This conference every year has a QB rising through the ranks by the end of October. Will be interested to see who it is.
2. Bolingbrook lost a playmaker to transferring but actual gained more.
3. Stagg needs to start off hot this season getting to 2-0
4. Kudos to LWE for their schedule, they don't do cupcakes
5. HF needs to control the air this season.
