Everything above comes from Naperville Central’s own article — except the few lines that name a different one — and is real. Hometown Line also runs a scoring model over Illinois high school football. Every prediction it makes is the model’s own. Where Illinois publishes a schedule the site may read, the games ahead are that schedule; where it does not, the fixtures ahead are generated so the model has something to predict. A result is shown only where its source is named.
