I haven't really seen any of the teams outside a few top teams, but I think the discussion should revolve around which teams could actually make it downstate based on the sectionals. So having said that, what do people think about these sections (I've listed a few teams for each based on what people have said about who are the best teams, and who has a possibility of making it downstate).
LWE Sectional:
Sub-Sectional A ****(I know absolutely nothing about these downstate teams, so any comments would be appreciated)
#1. O'Fallon (H.S.)
2. Belleville (West)
3. Edwardsville (H.S.)
Sub-Sectional B
1. Frankfort (Lincoln-Way East)
2. Minooka
3. Frankfort (Lincoln-Way North)
4. New Lenox (Lincoln-Way Central)
My guess is that LWE has to be the favorite, but I've heard good things about Minooka too.
Evanston Twp Sectional:
1. Winnetka (New Trier)
2. Arlington Heights (Hersey)
#3. Northbrook (Glenbrook North)
Seems like some people like GBN and some think they're overrated, but I haven't seen any teams outside of these three named.
Guerin Sectional:
#1. Chicago (St. Patrick)
2. Chicago (Von Steuben)
3. Oak Park (O.P.-River Forest)
No idea, so I just listed the top three teams.
Barrington Sectional:
1. Barrington
2. Lake Zurich
3. Deerfield (H.S.)
4. Lake Forest (H.S.)
5. Libertyville
#6. Buffalo Grove
Seems pretty deep. I've read good posts on here about Barrington, LZ, and BG. Apparently Deerfield beat GBN too. Is this wide open or is it really Barrington's to lose?
St Laurence Sectional:
1. Orland Park (Sandburg)
#2. Chicago (Marist)
#3. Chicago (Brother Rice)
I've, again, not seen these teams play, but I've read good things about all three of these teams, especially Brother Rice on here. Are these the best teams?
St. Ignatius Sectional:
1. LaGrange (Lyons)
#2. Hinsdale (Central)
I've only read anything about Lyons. Do they pretty much have this one locked up?
Glenbard West Sectional:
1. Glen Ellyn (Glenbard West)
2. Wheaton (W. Warrenville South)
3. Naperville (North)
4. Aurora (West Aurora)
#5. Lisle (Benet Academy)
#6. Downers Grove (South)
#7. Wheaton (St. Francis)
8. Lombard (Glenbard East)
As stacked as this sectional seems to be, can anyone really beat GBW? Especially at home? Not sure.
Lake Park Sectional:
Sub-Sectional A
#1. Roselle (Lake Park)
2. Carol Stream (Glenbard North)
Sub-Sectional B
#1. Rockford (Jefferson)
#2. Rockford (Guilford)
Does anyone know about the Rockford teams? I certainly don't.
In conclusion, I just thought this was the best way to discuss the teams because there aren't true rankings. Getting downstate is all that really matters, so who you got?
