This Friday at 7:00 PM, Illinois Valley (3-6) is pitted against Cascade Christian (7-1). Cascade Christian is cruising in on a four-game winning streak while Illinois Valley is stumbling in off of three consecutive losses.
There's no need to mince words: Illinois Valley lost to St. Mary's two weeks ago, and it lost bad. The score wound up at 53 - 15. The defeat shouldn't obscure the performances of senior Dane Alvarez and junior Caleb Hess, though; the former earned one touchdown and 93 yards rushing the ball, and the latter threw for 51 yards and gained 106 yards on the ground. This sound performance was nothing new for Hess, who has been a rock for Illinois Valley in the past five games.
Meanwhile, Cascade Christian can now show off five landslide victories after its game two weeks ago. The final score between it and Lakeview two weeks ago was a 63 - 6 blowout in Cascade Christian's favor. The game was pretty much decided by the half: the score was 42 - 0 going into the third quarter.
The last time they met, Cascade Christian was the decided 62 - 0 victor. Will Illinois Valley avenge its loss? We'll find out soon enough.
