Was curious about the enrollment numbers the teams playing in the championship games. So I did a little digging. In only 1 game did the school with higher enrollment win. That was in in 1A and the winning school had 10 more kids than the losing school. I used the IHSA enrollments for its website
On average the winning school had an enrollment that is 70% of that of the runner up.. The enrollment shown below of Mt. Carmel is doubled.
Where a Private school played a Public school the enrollment was 66%.
Just thought it was interesting.
