Chicago Prep Bowl
Mount Carmel vs Simeon at Gately Stadium, Friday, 12:00 p.m.
The annual Prep Bowl, which was first played in 1927, features the champion of the Chicago Public League against the champion of the Chicago Catholic League. Simeon has terrific playmakers to watch in junior WR/QB/DB Jayshon Jackson and RB Arkalius Howard. The Wolverines also boast a strong group in the skills and linemen departments. Mount Carmel and Hall of Fame coach Frank Lenti will look to run the football with junior QB Alex Thomas and a strong, deep group of backs. Can the Mount Carmel defense contain the Wolverines speed on offense? Can the Wolverines defense stop the Caravan's option game?
EDGY's Pick: Mount Carmel 28 Simeon 20
