This is one of my favorite times of the year for following high school sports. The fall postseason is upon us, and it's now that all the speculation goes right out the window.

Will this football team land in 5A or 4A? Will the IHSA send that football team north or south for the playoffs? Will the other team in the area finish with enough playoff points to qualify for the postseason? Those are the kind of questions that will have been answered by the next time I write a Saturday Sentinel.

The area golf season has now officially come to an end and the focus is all on cross country, soccer and volleyball at the moment. On Saturday, Morris tries to win a third soccer regional title in the last four years in Ottawa and the area cross country teams find out if all the work they have put into the season will pay off or not.
