Previewing Week 10's top high school football games

Week 10 of High School Football: A Battle for Supremacy in Class 8A and Beyond

In a thrilling preview to Week 10's top high school football games, two West Suburban Silver rivals are set to collide once again. Lyons, currently ranked No. 17, will host York at 7 p.m., with the stakes higher than ever. Last week, Lyons dominated behind EJ Kuhlman's record-breaking performance, while York is expected to have a strong outing from its backup quarterback, Zack Assaad.

The matchup between these two West Suburban Silver powerhouses has become a regular season fixture, and both teams will look to gain an edge in the postseason. For Stevenson, which faces off against Lincoln-Way East at 7 p.m., it's a matter of getting past their injured stars, Jacob Alexander and Blaise LaVista. The Griffins' playoff hopes largely depend on their players' health.

In Class 5A, St. Francis will look to bounce back from a loss to Nazareth in its next outing against Morgan Park at Gately Stadium. Quarterback Brock Phillip has two reliable receiving options in Zach Washington and Dario Milivojevic, but faces off against the Public League's top player, Nasir Rankin.

One thing is clear: these high school football games promise to be intense and closely watched by fans and scouts alike.

Man, I was thinking about how sports like this can teach us a lot about resilience and teamwork . These teams aren't just fighting for wins or championships, they're fighting for their team's identity and unity in the face of adversity. Like, Lyons is dealing with injuries to some of its key players, but still manages to come out on top - that's what we should be learning from, right? How to adapt and overcome even when things aren't going our way . And for Stevenson, they're literally risking their playoff hopes on the strength of a few healthy players - that's some serious risk-taking, but also some amazing trust in each other as teammates . Can we learn from their example to be more supportive and trusting in our own teams... or even just in life?

I don’t usually comment on sports news, but I think it’s crazy how much pressure there is on these high school teams. Like, they're not even out of their teens yet and already they're fighting for their playoff spots . And the injuries, ugh, it's like they're throwing their whole season away. I don't know if I could handle that kind of stress at such a young age . Still, gotta give these teams credit - they're all talented in their own ways and it's gonna be a wild ride to watch them battle it out on the field . And can someone explain to me why we need so many teams competing in different classes? Like, what's up with that?

I'm saying, if I had a buck for every time Lyons plays York, it'd be a lot by now . Both teams are so evenly matched, it's like they're two peas in a pod. I love how both Stevenson and St Francis have their playoff hopes hanging by a thread - those guys are gonna need to step up big time if they wanna make some noise in the postseason!

I'm loving this time of year for sports! Nothing beats the energy of a Friday night game, especially when you have two rival teams going head-to-head . I've got kids in both Lyons and York's feeder system, so it's always great to see them battle it out on the field. The key is gonna be how they can stay healthy and focused over the final stretch of the season - can't stress that enough for me as a parent . Anyone have any predictions for this Week 10 showdown?

Lyons' EJ Kuhlman is on fire . If he can keep that up, they'll be the one taking over Class 8A . York's backup QB Zack Assaad might not stand a chance . Can't wait to see these teams clash again!

I'm just not buying into all this hype around these big games . I mean, don't get me wrong, it's always fun to watch the kids battle it out on the field, but let's be real, their college prospects are probably going to decide who actually wins these thing anyway . And have you seen the stats on Brock Phillip? That backup quarterback Zack Assaad is supposed to be a game-changer? I'm not convinced . And Lyons getting ranked No. 17 over some other teams that might actually have more talent? Come on, people can see through that . It's all just part of the machine, you know? The parents, the coaches, the scouts... everyone's got an angle . I'll be watching from the sidelines, but only if there are some decent snacks involved

Ugh, can we talk about how outdated this forum design still is? I mean, I know I'm complaining again, but can't they just update the layout already?! It's like they're still stuck in 2018 . And don't even get me started on the lack of mobile responsiveness - my phone has to be on a desk to even see all the threads . Anyway, back to football... I'm kinda rooting for Lyons this week, but not because I'm a fan or anything, more like they need to prove themselves against York . Those backup QBs are gonna get eaten alive out there .

man, another week of high school football and it's already getting real... Lyons vs York is gonna be a bloodbath, EJ Kuhlman's record-breaking performance last week was just the beginning . And Stevenson's playoff hopes are literally resting on the injured shoulders of Jacob Alexander and Blaise LaVista... like what if they don't get back? this high school football thing is already so competitive, but with injuries piling up, it's getting crazy .

man i feel for stevenson they got some major injuries that could swing the game in their favor if those guys can get back on the field ASAP and york vs lyons is always a barnburner who knows how many times these two teams have gone head to head this season already seems like forever lol

Week 10 is gonna be LOUD with all the big matchups! Did you know that the average attendance for a high school football game in the US has been steadily increasing over the past few years? In 2010, it was around 2,500, but now we're seeing averages of over 3,000 fans per game! That's a total increase of 20% just since 2015!

And let's talk about these top teams. Lyons is looking STRONG right now, with EJ Kuhlman leading the charge. But York won't go down without a fight . Meanwhile, Stevenson needs their injured stars to step up or it's gonna be tough for them to make the playoffs .

What I find really interesting is how much influence social media has on high school football hype . Fans are getting hyped and sharing game day predictions like crazy! It's cool to see how engaged the community is, but it also means that every snap matters .

Looking at the stats, St. Francis is having a tough time bouncing back from that loss to Nazareth . But with Brock Phillip leading the charge, they've got a good shot at winning out .

What's your take on these top matchups? Who do you think will come out on top this week?

I'm hyped for this week's matches!!! Lyons vs York is gonna be a war, both teams are on fire! EJ Kuhlman's last game was insane and now Zack Assaad is ready to take on the challenge. This is what high school football is all about - the rivalries, the intensity, the bragging rights Stevenson's gotta get their stars back ASAP or it's gonna be a long season for them. St Francis lost a tough one last week but they've got some solid receivers and Nasir Rankin is on fire ! Whoever wins out this week is gonna have a huge advantage in the playoffs

I think it's crazy how much hype is around this week's matches especially with Lyons vs York, those two are always close so it'll be a real nail-biter I'm also curious to see how Stevenson handles their injured players, can't just rely on one or two superstars, gotta get the whole team working together what do u think is gonna happen in that one?

️ omg can't wait for this week 10 matchups!! Lyons vs York is gonna be insane! EJ Kuhlman's record breaker last week had me HYPED , now it's all about how Zack Assaad and his squad respond. Meanwhile, Stevenson needs their injured stars back ASAP or else playoff hopes are over. St Francis bounce back game against Morgan Park sounds interesting too! Nasir Rankin is gonna crush Brock Phillip's QB crew . Can't wait for the plays, analysis, and wins (or losses )!!
