What if Maine South switched...

Maine South quarterback Matt Alviti.

...out of the Central Suburban Conference and into the Mid-Suburban? Then they could play teams like  Conant (3-1, and ranked No. 44 in MaxPreps), Schaumburg (4-0,  No. 42), Rolling Meadows (3-1, No. 35) and  Palatine (3-1, No. 20).

They could drop Evanston (3-1, No. 203), Waukegan (2-2, No. 212),  Niles North (2-2, No. 233) and  Deerfield (1-3, No. 244).

Wouldn't that be better?

Now, I know what you're thinking: But what about such rivals as Glenbrook South (2-2, No. 154), Niles West (4-0, No. 189) and New Trier (2-2, No. 198)? The Hawks could schedule them as non-conference opponents.
