Normal west has to be unhappy with the continuous draws of the flyers in the 1st or 2nd rnd year after year it’s seems Lille they have decent teams and keep running into a buzzsaw
Estl vs normal west for the 100th time

I remember last year the Lemont folks were complaining about that too. Some of them even thought it was a premeditated decision to match them up 3 years in a row.
They should be complaining about the fact their school is going on about 5 years without a nickname lol
Remember the old days? Lockport,Romeoville,Pekin or East Moline would get them in round 1 Wednesday game
I went to Lockport and we played ESL my soph and senior year.
If this is who I think it is I met you years ago. Super nice guy & if 72 is your dad he is too & the reason I hate Deion Sanders
I remember the second trip a couple of reserves thought it was a good idea to drink in the hotel room the night before the game. Coach Zimmer made them ride home in the equipment van with all the muddy gear.
6a should be seeded 1-32. Actually every class should. That way you do not get the same match ups every year or other year in early rounds.
My buddy down in Hazelwood still has NOT heard a valid reason why the Flyers conference said EStL can't play up 2 classifications but will allow them to play up one. Why would they allow EStL to play all these power teams across the US and NOT play in whatever classification they want!? What sense does that make??? WE all know the reason EStL doesn't play up to 7A is because of MIGHTY MT CARMEL... Period. Flyers wouldn't survive in 8A in most years. They need to seed every class 1-32 as a minimum.
Your buddy is ill informed and id advise you not to put too much stock in to anything he says. Just reading your posts, I can tell not much thought was put in to his response.
Oh for the love of the Lord. It is not hyperbole to say this has been explained 50+ times.
THE SOUTHWEST CONFERENCE made the rule so that the Flyers would not be in the same class as their other teams, meaning, East, West, Edwardsville and formerly Collinsville and Granite City. Before the ruling, ESL ALWAYS petitioned to 7A.
Fear of playing ANY school in IL - or the nation - is nowhere in that equation. Will they always win? Nope. Will they have a puncher's chance every year, YUP! Mount Carmel and Loyola to start the past two years, they were 1-1 and the loss was a last possession game to MC. Tip the cap!
You think MC or ESL would not survive 8A? Look at Edgy's top 30 ... year in and year out. See where MC (and LA, who FLYER WHOOPED) are right now in that end-of-the-year mix. If ESL was included in that calculus, at what position would they be sitting?
You should have just stopped at “Hazelwood”……. Hazelwood????? Somebody from Hazelwood giving you the “scoop” on ESL? You’re embarrassing yourself, bud.
