Fairfield travels to Columbia for a 1 pm tipoff while Carlinville meets Carmi White Co, Staunton visits Carterville, West Frankfort plays Vandalia, Massac County faces Mascoutah, Herrin meets Mount Carmel, Rochester travels to Anna Jonesboro, and Cahokia squares off with Mount Vernon at 5 pm.
Partly cloudy skies with a 10 percent chance of rain this afternoon. Winds WNW at 6 mph. Carterville expects temperatures in the lower 60s.
Joe Rush earns Mount Vernon's career rushing record with 2,200 yards amid postgame remarks about personal significance and longevity. Coaches Fred Heinz of Carbondale resigns after Monday decision. Other SIU area notes include Jake Pecord's space moves, Anna Jonesboro's Jake Pecord praise, Marion Wildcats' measured offense, and Herrin navigating playoff brackets in a tough regional draw.
Carterville carries a 9-0 record into a 2 p.m. playoff game against Staunton, aiming for a 22nd postseason appearance and seeking a title defense after a 14-0 1996 3A championship. Led by Tony Brown and Brad Drust, the Lions boast a high scoring offense and stingy defense, while Staunton travels from the St Louis metro area for the first playoff bid since 2000 under Mike Parmentier.
West Frankfort senior running back Kevin Uhls, 5-9, 185, is the Redbirds’ top back and second-leading SIU runner. He has topped 100 yards in all but three games this season, totaling 1,169 yards and eight touchdowns on 155 carries. If West Frankfort ends a five-game playoff skid at Vandalia, Uhls must deliver again.
Anna-Jonesboro High's 9-0 Wildcats bring a dominant option attack led by QB Lucas Hileman and RB Rik Hicks to a Class 4A playoff opener against Rochester High at The Pit in Anna. The team averages 254 rushing yards per game, aiming to control the clock and momentum.
