Lincoln-Way East's Star Quarterback Sparks Big Win, Climbs Rankings

Jonas Williams is back in the lineup for Lincoln-Way East and it's clear why the Griffins were a major force to be reckoned with on Friday night. With Williams leading the charge, Lincoln-Way East dominated Stevenson 45-0 in the first round of the Class 8A playoffs. The impressive performance has catapulted the team up to No. 3 in this week's Super 25 rankings.

This surge in ranking is no surprise, given that Lincoln-Way East previously knocked off No. 4 Maine South 40-0 this season in Park Ridge. Their dominance over their opponents shows why they're now sitting pretty at the top of the rankings. Williams' return has undoubtedly made a huge difference for the team.

As expected, the Super 25 teams have had varying degrees of success in the playoffs, with only minor adjustments to the rankings. The only notable drop was from York, which lost to Lyons. However, this opened up an opportunity for Lincoln-Way West to take its place at No. 12.

Other contenders, including Bolingbrook and Lockport, are closely following in the footsteps of these top teams. Oswego and Richards round out the rest of the top 25.

A curious trend has been observed across the league this weekend: significantly reduced crowds on Saturday. The main reason for this appears to be Halloween, which seems to have had a profound impact on attendance. However, it's worth noting that Mount Carmel did see a decent crowd despite being one of the teams with the lowest attendance figures.

The full rankings can be viewed below:

1. Mount Carmel (10-0) 1
2. Brother Rice (9-1) 2
3. Lincoln-Way East (9-2) 14
4. Maine South (9-1) 3
5. Nazareth (9-1) 4
6. Montini (10-0) 5

11. Warren (9-1) 10
12. Lincoln-Way West NR
13. Carmel (8-2) 12

I'm loving the Griffins right now 🤩! Jonas Williams is like a super star on that field 🔥! He's making such a huge difference for their team and it's no surprise they're climbing up those rankings so fast ⬆️. But I gotta say, I'm a bit surprised by the drop in attendance this weekend 🎃... guess Halloween is just not as exciting for sports fans 😐? Anyways, the top teams are looking strong and I love how Lincoln-Way East is bringing home that W 💪! Now let's see if they can keep it up throughout the playoffs 🤞.
 
🤔 I'm loving how this season is shaping up for Lincoln-Way East! They've got some serious mojo going on right now, and Jonas Williams is the mastermind behind it all 💪. The fact that they're climbing the rankings so quickly says a lot about their team's chemistry and strategy.

And can we talk about what happened to the crowds this weekend? 🎃 Halloween vibes must be doing something weird to people's interest in high school sports 😂. I mean, Mount Carmel saw a decent turnout despite being one of the lowest-attended teams, so maybe there's hope for the others?

One thing that does worry me is how consistent these top teams are going to stay. If anyone can keep up with Lincoln-Way East and Brother Rice, it'll be an exciting few weeks ahead! 🔥
 
🤔 I'm not surprised to see Lincoln-Way East jumping up the rankings, considering their impressive performance against Maine South earlier this season 🏈. Williams' return has undoubtedly made a huge impact on the team's overall strategy and game plan. It's also interesting to note how Halloween seems to have affected attendance across the league this weekend 👻. I wonder if this trend will continue throughout the playoffs? ⚔️
 
So the playoffs are already underway and it's clear that some teams are bringing their A-game 💪. I'm a bit surprised to see Lincoln-Way East jumping up to No. 3, though - wasn't there something about them losing earlier this season? 🤔 Still, you can't deny the talent of Jonas Williams when he's on the field 🏈.

And yeah, Halloween is definitely having an impact on attendance, that's pretty obvious 😂. It's interesting to see how some teams are handling it better than others - like Mount Carmel, who still managed to get a decent crowd despite being one of the lower-attended games.

But what I'm really curious about is what this means for the season as a whole 🤔. Are we going to see a lot more upsets and surprises in the playoffs? Or will it be business as usual with some teams cruising through to the end? Only time will tell, but one thing's for sure - it's always exciting to watch these high school football games! 👏
 
omg u guys cant handle it the griffins r on fire!! Jonas Williams is literally leading them to victory and its no surprise they jumped up to number 3 in the rankings i mean they beat maine south like 40-0 already this season and now they took down stevenson 45-0? aint nobody stoppin dem!!!

and u know whats even funnier? crowds r like half as big as usual cuz its halloween lol who knew football fans could be so easily distracted by candy and costumes? mount carmel still managed to get a decent crowd tho i guess thats just bc theyre mount carmel

anyway cant wait 2 see what the rest of the playoffs bring will lincoln-way east make it all the way to the top??
 
I'm loving the Griffins' momentum right now! 😄 They're clearly on fire with Williams back at the helm and dominating those games is no joke. And it's awesome to see Lincoln-Way East climbing up the rankings so fast. I mean, taking down Maine South was a big deal already this season, so this just proves they're one of the top teams out there.

But what's really cool is seeing all these other teams in close competition. Bolingbrook and Lockport are definitely giving the top dogs a run for their money! 🤔 It's gonna be super interesting to see how the rest of the playoffs play out, especially with Halloween seemingly having an impact on attendance...I guess some things never change, right? 😜
 
🤔 I think its pretty cool that the playoff games are doing well and people are still getting out to watch them, even if it is Halloween 🎃. I mean, its not like they're selling out stadiums or anything, but at least some teams have decent crowds. On a more serious note, its awesome to see Lincoln-Way East killing it on the field with Jonas Williams leading the way 💪. They definitely deserve their spot in the rankings. As for the ranking changes, I'm just glad York didn't drop too far down 🤕. It's always good to see teams having a comeback or something.
 
🤔 so I'm watching these football games and it's crazy how quickly teams can jump up in rankings. like, one big win and you're a top contender 😅. Lincoln-Way East is definitely making some noise with Jonas Williams back on the field. but have you noticed that there are fewer people at the games lately? 🎃 halloween or what? anyway, it's not all bad news for local teams. Lincoln-Way West getting into the rankings must be a big deal for them! 💪 and let's give a shoutout to Mount Carmel, they're still killing it on the field 🏈💥.
 
🏈 I'm not sure why football crowds are so low this time of year... Halloween or something? 😐 Anyway, it's cool that Lincoln-Way East is killing it on the field! They must be having a blast with their new star QB back in the lineup. And yeah, they totally earned that No 3 spot in the Super 25 rankings. It's great to see them dominating like that. The other teams are looking strong too... Bolingbrook and Lockport are definitely worth keeping an eye on. 💪
 
omg did you see that game on friday? lincoln-way east is looking like a super team right now 🤯 jonas williams is a total rockstar! i'm not surprised they jumped to no 3 in the rankings, they were dominating their opponents all season. it's also kinda sad that halloween had such an impact on attendance, but at least mount carmel got some love 💛
 
omg, like i'm so stoked for lincoln-way east!!! their win over stevenson was insane, and jonas williams is literally the real MVP 🤩 he's been on fire all season and it's clear why they're ranked no. 3 now. but idk about the crowds tho... it's kinda weird that attendance is so low for halloween 🎃😒 maybe people are just too busy dressing up in costumes or something lol. anyway, congrats to lincoln-way east on their win and i'm hyped to see what they do next! 💪
 
So the big game was between Lincoln-Way East and Stevenson, right? 🤔 I'm pretty sure that Maine South wasn't even in this game... they lost to Lincoln-Way East earlier this season in Park Ridge. And now they're ranked third in the Super 25 rankings? That's a bit suspicious if you ask me.

Also, can we talk about how Halloween affected attendance on Saturday? 🎃 I mean, I get it that people might've wanted to stay home and watch horror movies or something, but come on, there are football games going on! You'd think the crowds would be way higher than what they were. Maybe the teams just didn't play well?
 
I think its awesome that Jonas Williams is back in the lineup for Lincoln-Way East and they're killing it on the field 🤩🏈! I mean, a 45-0 win over Stevenson is crazy impressive and now they're ranked No. 3 in the Super 25 rankings? That's a huge boost of confidence for the team and their fans. And yeah, its no surprise that Lincoln-Way East was dominating their opponents even before Williams' return 🙌. But I do think its cool that other teams like Bolingbrook and Lockport are giving them a run for their money 👊. And omg, Halloween must be having a major impact on the sports scene with all these teams showing up with low attendance figures 🎃👻.
 
Wow! 🤯

Interesting how Halloween is affecting the crowds at games this weekend, significantly reduced attendance everywhere except for Mount Carmel which still got a decent crowd 👀. But it's no surprise Lincoln-Way East dominated that game 45-0, they've been crushing it all season 💪.

The Super 25 rankings are insane with top teams like Montini and Glenbard West at the top 🤯. And now Lincoln-Way East is sitting pretty at No.3, can't wait to see what happens in the playoffs 🏈!

And nice move by Lockport taking Lincoln-Way West's place at No.12 🔝. The competition is getting fiercer and it's going to be a wild ride in the playoffs 🎢.

Overall just loving how passionate everyone is about high school football right now 💖!
 
I gotta say, the crowd thing is wild 🤯, it's Halloween and everyone just decided to stay home? I mean, I get it, it's a big holiday and all that jazz, but come on guys! It's football season, don't you want to be at the game? 😂 I'm not buying it. Like, Mount Carmel had a good crowd, so what's the deal with that? Did they have special deals or something? 🤑 And another thing, Lincoln-Way East is now number 3 in these rankings and they used to play Maine South, which was number 4! That's kinda cool, but you gotta be careful not to get too cocky, 'cause playoffs are all about upsets. 🔥
 
I'm loving the resurgence of Lincoln-Way East, their QB is on fire 💥. I was wondering if they'd be able to bounce back from that tough loss against Maine South, but it looks like Jonas Williams and the squad are unstoppable right now. The fact that they're dominating their opponents 45-0 is crazy, Stevenson didn't stand a chance 🤣.

I'm also loving how the rankings have shifted, Lincoln-Way East jumping up to No.3 and some of these other teams getting knocked outta the top spots 📉. It's always exciting to see new contenders rise to the top and put pressure on the existing powerhouses.

And can we talk about Halloween for a sec? I'm not surprised that it affected attendance, but still kinda bummed that I missed it 🎃. At least Mount Carmel had a decent crowd despite being one of the lower attendance teams... maybe they're setting an example for the rest to follow 😏.
 
man, 45-0 is wild 🤯 i'm loving the dominant performances of these teams, especially Lincoln-Way East and Maine South, they're really showing why they're ranked so high. but at the same time, can't help but feel a little bad for Stevenson 🤕 gotta respect a team's hustle, even if things didn't go their way.

anyway, what's up with the Halloween thing? seems like it totally tanked attendance on Saturday 🎃🚫 i get that it's a big holiday and all, but come on, teams, you can do better than that. mount carmel saw a decent crowd despite being one of the lower-attended games, so yeah, let's see how things shake out from here
 
omg, another bunch of teens scoring goals 🏈👦 and dominating their games... meanwhile, did u hear about the recent increase in wildfires in the US? it's getting out of hand, with multiple states affected 😔. and btw, low attendance at sports events this weekend, sounds like Halloween is really scaring off fans 🎃. anywayz, congratz to Lincoln-Way East on their win, but let's not get too hyped, there r still so many problems in the world...
 
I'm a bit surprised by how quickly Lincoln-Way East jumped to No. 3 in the rankings, but I guess it's not a shocker considering their dominance over Maine South earlier this season 🤯. With Jonas Williams back in the lineup, they're looking like a force to be reckoned with. However, we've seen teams rise and fall before, especially during playoffs, so let's not get too ahead of ourselves 💔. The fact that attendance has been low this weekend is pretty interesting, though - I wonder if it'll affect how the rest of the season plays out 🤔.
