The historic Victory Light is back on the brown shell for the 15 time state champion Joliet Catholic Academy Hilltoppers. Can’t argue with the history. JCA hits I-80 west, way west, to take on Iowa City, Iowa in wk 1 starting the run for #16. #ILFBProject #ILHSFootball

One of the best, most unique mascots in the state deserves one of the best, most unique helmets! The Hoopeston Area/Armstrong Potomac Cornjerkers are fully embracing their mascot and going all in on this outstanding, truly one-of-a-kind design. #FearTheEar🌽🏈 #25Days

Batavia in The red, yellow and black has become a staple late in the playoffs and the paw is back in the semis again this year. At 11-1, the #7 Bulldogs hit the road for a monster 7A matchup with #6 Mt. Carmel, also at 11-1. Kickoff is at 4 at Mt. Carmel.

Some would argue this is the best looking helmet in the state. And they'd have a pretty compelling case. The Minooka Indians spare no expense when it comes to their helmets, and the end result is outstanding 💯 The Indians open '24 on the road at @RIRocksFootball

New look this fall for the York Dukes! LOVE this logo, and love it even more in chrome. Massive upgrade, in my opinion 💯 Only 74 more days until this beauty hits the field!

The Hersey Huskies @Hersey_Football will be rocking their slick orange helmets again this year, with some tweaks. New stripe, same sweet script, bumper, pride 🦴decals. Huskies look for big things to follow up a 10-1 breakout year when they open at home against @newtrierfb
