Several of Illinois' power programs have solidified their places at the top of the new FOX Sports NEXT rankings.
|
The new FOX Sports NEXT Illinois Top 25 rankings reflect how several of the state's best have cemented their places at the top of the polls.
Some of Illinois' power programs such as Maine South, Glenbard West, Mount Carmel, and Lemont have solidified their places in the top ten, while some rising programs like Bolingbrook, Marist, and Wheaton North show promise for the future.
This week, the FOX Sports NEXT Illinois experts were asked the tough question, which school has the state's greatest power program?
Allen Trieu - National Recruiting Analyst, FOX Sports NEXT
Ryan Easterling - Reporter, IllinoisPlaybook.com
 "The Chicago Catholic League is full of historic programs, probably none more historic than Joliet Catholic. Known in pop culture as the school of Notre Dame legend Daniel "Rudy" Ruettiger, Joliet Catholic is a power year-in, year-out, and continues that today."
