Benet received a 7 seed in Class 7A in tonight's IHSA Pairings, and the Redwings will face 2nd seeded Mt. Carmel, which is ranked #2 in the state in the Chicago Tribune Top 20. The Caravan's only loss this year came to Loyola Academy, a #1 seed in the 8A playoffs.
We need a HUGE Student Section, as we need to support the Redwings in an extremely tough road game. Fan bus to the Caravan game?

Benet Tied for ESCC Lead Before Final Two Games
Benet is tied with both Joliet Catholic and Notre Dame for the ESCC lead after its loss on Saturday at Nazareth. The Redwings do not play Notre Dame this year, but senior night in two weeks is against JCA. Next's week's game is at Marist, whose three losses all came against top 25 teams. Look for a shootout on the south side, as Marist averages 37 points per game, and Benet averages 32. Also, Marist's defense has allowed an average of 38 points per game in 5 conference matchups.

#6 Benet in Driver's Seat in ESCC Race
This past weekend's games provided some clarity in the race for the ESCC Football Championship. The Benet Redwings moved to 3-0 in conference with a 38-14 win over St. Viator, and Joliet Catholic and Notre Dame both suffered shocking losses to St. Patrick and at Nazareth, respectively. Benet is the only unbeaten team in the ESCC after week 6.
The Redwings need to win 2 of their final three games to clinch a share of the conference championship, and this is a daunting task. Benet travels to Nazareth next Saturday, visits #24 Marist the following weekend, and hosts #17 JCA on Senior Night on October 25. (All rankings according to Chicago Tribune)
