I believe the success factor would put them in 6A, even if they were a natural 6A. Could be wrong.

As to where there enrollment stands, I don't know. They're generally pretty strapped for space though, so I doubt they're gonna push towards 6A naturally.

Thank you.

Was their enrollment that much higher in '18 and '19 when they were bumped up to 7A? Not starting anything, honestly asking. Seems like a similar situation unless their actual enrollment has dropped recently, which wouldn't be unheard of for a private school these days.

Maybe because they were treated terribly; paid like slaves; and denied almost all creature comforts. Nuns got a really raw deal.

Yeah, wasn't looking for sandbagging for an actual question. Has Naz's enrollment grown since the last 2 year cycle? Would their multiplier put them in 6A regardless of success factor next year? Meaning success factor puts them in 7A?

I think the verbiage is all centered around the highest class in which you succeed. So IF one of the biggest upsets in history takes place on Saturday and Naz knocks off Franny to get to the title that would be 3 in 5a bumping them up to 6a. Back when they won their first two in back to back years then two years later were runner ups they had played in the 6a title game which bumped them up so they could win the 7a trophy and another runner up in 7a the following year. Short story long I think Naz would end up 6a whether “naturally” (multiplied) or SF’d

Notre Dame (Niles, IL) at St. Ignatius (Chicago, IL) Fri., Nov. 22, 7:00 pm
Watching these two teams scoring points in the postseason is a mystery. Not a chemistry test. Dons should cover.

Wilmington (12-0) at Lombard (Montini) (10-2), Sat., Nov. 23, 1:00 pm
Wilmo's only chance is to catch a ride home on that pregame horse. Broncos.

Chicago (DePaul) (9-3) at Coal City (10-2), Sat., Nov. 23, 1:00 pm
Only chance DePaul loses is if they get distracted by the licentious women of that disreputable town. Rams.

Wheaton (St. Francis) (10-2) at LaGrange Park (Nazareth Academy) (10-2), Sat., Nov. 23, 1:00 pm
No reasonable person not afflicted by disease believes St Francis has a chance. Roadrunners.

Morris (8-4) at Joliet (Catholic Academy) (9-3), Sat., Nov. 23, 2:00 pm
The tribe will be on the warpath, looking to collect a scalp. No luck, Tonto. Hilltoppers.

Chicago (Mt. Carmel) (9-3) at Chicago (St. Rita) (10-2), Sat., Nov. 23, 3:00 pm
A century from now, they'll still be talking of how the Mustangs managed to cover.

Wilmette (Loyola Academy) (10-2) at Frankfort (Lincoln-Way East) (12-0), Sat., Nov. 23, 6:00 pm
80 thousand simulations of this game have been run and statisticians, both amateur and professional, have determined that there is no reason for this game to be contested. Yet, I have my doubts. We're overdue for an earthquake. There's a chance that sporadic wind gusts disrupt the consensus greatest QB ever. Out of charity for alma and a hope that mercy is shown, Ramblers.

Those schools are never gonna petition to play up even though they are playing the wrong talent level in 5A

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.

At the Du-Pec game I was standing right next to a group of Byron faithful and one of their coaches. They mentioned that Montini put on quite a spectacle. Edgy talked about the Bronco festivities on his 3rd and Leng podcast last week.

They can pass but why when they have success running the ball.

CG will win this game. Geneva must score early and often to have a chance. Otherwise I see CG rolling on to the finals.

General information. Dress warm LOL! Speaking of the saving of seats. Is that a big problem in some places? Any good stories about it?

I often see signs forbidding such, they are ignored, but never any enforcement.
