I was hoping a JC-StL game would happen in a Super in Crestwood but looks like they would play a game beforehand.

I don’t see brackets released yet.
Found them, they weren’t released til 4.I found this that seems to agree with the post above.

The 3A Ottawa Sectional has to be one of the tougher 3A sectionals, since the classes were expanded. The top 4 seeds in each Sub-sectional are as follows:
Sub-Sectional A
1. Joliet (Catholic Academy)
2. Coal City
3. Morris
4. Manteno
Sub-Sectional B
1. Burbank (St. Laurence)
2. Tinley Park (H.S.)
3. Oak Forest
4. Lemont (H.S.)
Anything is possible in baseball, but it looks like Coal City got a tough draw. They currently sit at 21-3. Their reward? They may have to defeat Morris (18-6), St. Laurence (25-3) and JCA (21-6) in succession to advance. Lemont has beaten some good teams (i.e. LWE and Lyons) and is dangerous. And both Tinley (18-5) and Oak Forest (15-3) will be tough outs. Don't know much about Manteno, other than they are currently 15-5.
I’m a little confused... did JCA not benefit from this bracket?The brackets make ZERO sense. What is the point of having a sub-sectional if you don't keep the teams in that sub-sectional? The top 4 teams in these sub-sectionals were all moved around. It now looks like this
Sub Sectional 1
1. St Laurence
2. Coal City
4. Morris
4. Lemont
Sub Sectional 2
1. JCA
2. Tinley Park
3. Oak Forest
4. Manteno
Again, what is the point of releasing "sub sectionals" before the brackets, if the IHSA doesnt even follow their own seeding format?
Yeah but it doesn't make it right.I’m a little confused... did JCA not benefit from this bracket?
You are correct, it doesn’t make it right.... JCA definitely benefitted thoughYeah but it doesn't make it right.
Great sectional! Great teams! Should be entertainingIt appears the 4A Lockport sectional will (should) have some quality regional championship games. Quality pitchers everywhere
LWE vs HF/Provi (LWE split with HF, beat Provi but didn't see their ace)
Lockport vs Andrew/Sandburg (Lockport beat Andrew, lost twice to Sandburg)
LWC vs Marian Catholic (didn't play each other this year)
Marist vs LWW (Marist won close game vs LWW very early in year)
The key was JCA getting the top seed in the Sub-sectional. I know the Hilltoppers beat Coal City in their head-to-head, but Coal City had 3 fewer losses. Strength of schedule had to be the key. That's if the coaches, who vote on the seeding, even do any research.You are correct, it doesn’t make it right.... JCA definitely benefitted though
Oh, there is no doubt they deserved the top seed in the sub-sectional. They play a gauntlet of a schedule. The game they beat us head to head, they threw who I think everyone would agree is their ace, and we went a few rungs down the ladder. Regardless, they are a deserving 1 seed.The key was JCA getting the top seed in the Sub-sectional. I know the Hilltoppers beat Coal City in their head-to-head, but Coal City had 3 fewer losses.
