2018 Immaculate Conception Knights Summer/7on7 plans
Evanston 7v7
IWU Retreat Camp
Did you know...that Immaculate Conception has won 4 overall IHSA state football state titles in school history (2002/2008/2-16/2017) and that head coach Bill Krefft has posted a 38-3 record over the past 3 seasons?
EDGYTIM's Way Too Early Take on the 2018 Immaculate Conception Knights? It's been a huge ride over the past few seasons for the ICCP Knights and don't look for the momentum to end this fall. Head coach Bill Krefft has a ton of experience back this season and several of those players also have multiple state championship experience. The early non-conference schedule will be a good early challenge yet expect this team to be in state title contention again this season.
Keep an Eye on: Immaculate Conception senior QB/DB Khalil Saunders. Saunders, the twin brother of Purdue commit Khalil Saunders has plenty of his own high level skills and talents. Saunders will again be asked to contribute in multiple ways in 2018 for the Knights.
