Success Factor/NAZ

I don’t get why you think that statement makes no sense.
If Naz and JCA get success-factored up to 6a for next two years and then don’t have that same level z of success then why should they continue to be success-factor multiplied.
You apparently think that if they are succes-multiplied into 6a they should stay in that class …. Forever?
The purpose of the success factor is basically to move repeat state-finalists from private schools up a class and then to drop them back to their enrollment-multiplied class if the state-final success can’t continue.
That would seem to make better sense than any suggestion of once you are success-factored up a class that is your new class forever unless you keep playing at ISU or enrollment drops.
What's the justification for moving them up in the first place? To get them in the "right" class presumably? We'll then I guess merely failing to trophy twice doesn't mean they are in the wrong class either.

If you win too much your in the wrong class and then if you don't win enough you're in the wrong class. It's Schrodinger's classification.

IHSA should get rid of all success based classification metrics (including the multiplier waiver, IMO). They just don't make sense. Figure out other classification methods than enrollment if you want, but being successful in your class shouldn't indicate an incorrect classification.

Wilmington 12 Montini 42 Final

Haven’t heard of them held under two scores in at least 6 years
It doesn’t happen very often. They actually didn’t score a TD a couple years ago vs Braidwood in a 50-5 loss.
I thought they moved the ball better than I expected today. The problem was that their defense got torched way more than I expected.

I think you misunderstood the irony of what he was saying.

They could both be SF'd up to 7A, BUT no matter what they can't stay in 6A after 2 years.

EDIT: after 2 years in 6A, it's either back to 5A, or up to 7A. Without a petition.

Success Factor/NAZ

They won't need to petition up they'll be successful factored up.

Question for Naz guys. What is the enrollment like at Naz? Has it increased recently? With next year being the start of a new 2 year cycle for classification plus success factor will Naz be 6A or 7A next year? Their enrollment is listed at 1180 and the largest 5A team is 1272 so they're close to the top of 5A currently.
Naz enrollment is around 800 and they can only fit around 825 in the building.

Wilmington @ Montini

Montini was a good place to watch a game.
Wilmo wasn’t able to bring their A game today and it got a little out of hand. Wilmo was far from healthy, but they needed to play their best to have a shot and weren’t able to. Montini didn’t let them, and jumped all over them from the start.

In my experience, I’ve seen semifinals go that way, but usually on the other side.
Congrats to Montini. They are an outstanding team and should be hoisting the championship trophy next Friday evening.
