Looking for guesses here (or facts, if anyone has any) regarding which class East Saint Louis ends up in next year. If I have it right, they were 6A enrollment-wise two years ago when they petitioned up to 7A for the 2016 and 2017 seasons. That 2 year commitment is now up, and if I understand it correctly, their enrollment in 2017 would have actually put them in 5A (would have been fun to see them against Phillips). Anyway, if they petition up again for the 2018 and 2019 seasons, which class would that be? I would think they would have to wait until the 2018 football enrollments came out - correct? They were ousted in the Class 7A post season this year in the quarterfinals, so do they try for another 2 year stint in 7A (if allowed) or stay where their actual 2018 football enrollment would most likely put them? I'm not sure I have a good handle on this at this time, so I'm interested in any thoughts, info, guesses, tarot card readings, etc.
