MCHS Releases 2019 Football Schedule
MCHS Athletic Director Tyler Buss released the 2019 Golden Aces’ football schedule today.
UPDATE: MCHS Opts Out Of Big 8 After Current School Year
Mt. Carmel High School has chosen to opt out of its final year as a member of the Big 8 Athletic Conference. Following the current school year, Mt. Carmel High School will no longer be a member of the Big 8 Athletic Conference.
In a press release issued earlier today, the Big 8 Athletic Conference announced that MCHS was voted out as a member of the Big 8 Athletic Conference at the completion of the 2019-2020 school year. Due to recent changes in the Illinois High School Association's (IHSA) football scheduling, Big 8 Conference Schools felt it was in their best interest to move forward without Mt. Carmel. This decision left Mt. Carmel with only three guaranteed football contests in the 2020-2021 school year.
Due to scheduling hardships, Mt. Carmel High School felt it would be in their best interest to pursue other options. When pursuing these options, it became clear that finding six, one-year contests was not feasible. However, finding opponents that were willing to schedule Mt. Carmel for two years became a viable option. One of the athletic department's top priorities through this process has been to ensure that our student-athletes are afforded the opportunity to play full schedules in the upcoming seasons.
Mt. Carmel has enjoyed its time as a Big 8 Conference member, and looks forward to continued partnerships with the remaining Big 8 schools.

Big 8 Athletic Conference Announces Mt. Carmel Leaving the Conference After 2019 - 2020 School Year.
In a vote of conference schools, Mt. Carmel High School will remain a member of the Big 8 Athletic Conference only through May of the 2020 school year. With recent changes in the Illinois High School Association (IHSA) football state tournament series, the Golden Aces will not be able to field a full Big 8 Conference football schedule, and, fulfill the requirements of the IHSA beginning with the Fall season of 2021.
Conference member schools agreed that it was in the best interest of the student-athletes from all schools to honor existing contracts in all sports through the next school year. This will allow approximately 18 months for new contracts to be established and all other contest preparations to be finalized.
Mt. Carmel, the ninth school to be a part of the conference since its inception in 1980, joined the Big 8 Conference at the beginning of the 2003 - 2004 school year. During that time the Illinois school has won 15 conference titles in Football (6); Girls Basketball (4); Girls Golf (2) and Boys Golf (3).
The football schedule for the remaining six schools (Boonville, Jasper, Mt. Vernon, Princeton, Vincennes and Washington) in the conference is still being formulated, and will be announced at a later date.

Mt. Carmel's Smith & Sisson Selected For 2019 Southern Illinois Premier Jr. High All-Star Classic
NOTE: Mt. Carmel 8th grader Gavin Smith and 7th grader Blayne Sisson were chosen to play.
INA, Ill. -Meet the players for Rend Lake College's 2019 Southern Illinois Premier Jr. High All-Star Classic, Feb. 23 and 24, at Waugh Gym in Ina.
Coaches and athletic directors in the Southern Illinois Junior High School Athletic Association nominated the following student-athletes as the best junior-high boys and girls basketball players in the region. These players will showcase their skills at Rend Lake College's second-annual Southern Illinois Premier Jr. High All-Star Classic, Feb. 23 & 24 at Waugh Gymnasium on the Ina campus. The event has expanded to include 7th graders this year.
This is the second year Warriors Head Coach Tommy Holder has hosted the games to "provide an opportunity for players to enjoy one more memory of playing junior high basketball on a big stage.”
Player nominations started in November. All schools in the Southern Illinois Junior High School Athletic Association (SIJHSAA) were asked to nominate five players from their class, in each the 7th and 8th grade divisions, with up to two from their own team. Those nominations were submitted to Holder who explained that, in a few cases, a school has more than two representatives due to players being nominated by opponent coaches. He also said that the original schedule has changed. The 7th grade girls Classes M and L game has been combined due to a low number of nominations. An additional 8th grade boys Class S game has been scheduled for 7 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 23, due to a high number of nominations.
Players participating in the event will wear either their home or away team jerseys, based on team placement. Each player selected will receive a Southern Illinois Premier Jr. High All-Star Classic tee-shirt. RLC will host practices on Feb. 16 — girls from 9 to 10:30 a.m. and boys from 10:45 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. — at which time teams will be picked.
