LA HEADED TO 8A
- Thread starter ignazio
- Start date
Did I not read somewhere on this board that such petitions had to be made before Sept 1. Perhaps this was done before Sept 1 and the IHSA board just approved it.
I’m still confused on how they ended up in 7A anyways.
Edgy had it earlier in the year that only 9 schools this season are multiplied. Not sure what the formula is anymore but apparently they didn’t reach enough playoff wins in 2019 & 2020 to get multiplied this season.
A school needs 3 playoff wins between 2019 and 2020 seasons. So basically if you did not make it to the semifinals in 2019, you are not multiplied.
The site lists them as 8A, so it seems granted.
Seems like they’re hands down favorite wherever you put them. 9A? 😜
6A, then they'd have their hands full. And it would be the best in-state game of the year.
There you go, put Loyola and ESL in a game of their own, best in state, and leave the other 8 classes alone!
8A early semi-finals
LA
Marist
Warren
Main South
Except for the club that will sneak through a slugfest against LWE, all of the teams have very comfortable roads to the semis.
No surprises here; hats off to Warren's coaches for building a program that appears to be a state threat on a consistent basis.
Going into these matchups, as always, being healthy is more crucial than having an undefeated record.

They should have petitioned to play in 6A
No, no , no! I want my team to have a chance.
As stated before on this board - there are no easy roads through the playoffs in 8A.
Remember Marist is likely to have 2 losses going into the playoffs so they could end up seeded anywhere. If history holds, could be a 14-19th seed, meaning they will face a top team in round 2.
I can see the Marist coach posting this on his bulletin board right now.
Who Bartlett 😂, Marist will be in the semis unless they run into the three teams listed.
Naperville Central might have something to say about that.
Possibly.
I would pick a healthy Anderson and JCA over NC.
JCA is a threat to win any class this year.

With BR being the largest 7A isn’t there a likely chance they still get moved to 8A? This was the case a couple years ago. They got the playoff wins.
All.... Here is the form. Ratsy
That is something I believe is possible. If BR is healthy, I think they have a good shot.
If you can get BR and LA back to 8A, the young caravan's path through 7A will be much nicer.
So Marist knocks them out in 2019. By doing so, Loyola gets placed back into 8a. Karma.
This is fantastic news. I was looking forward to the 7A run for the entertainment value, but the Ramblers are 8A.
MS fans pretty much expected LA to be in 8A. . Too early for Soucie?!? 😂
I love people will compare 2021 teams to teams where everyone has since graduated. Every year is a different team. The "love" is sarcasm, in case it didn't come across.
There’s another Naperville team that might have something to say…….although they haven’t earned it yet.
I think we all can agree with Loyola moving up and the potential for Rice to do so as well, that 8A is now the beast of all classes. As many as 8 teams can be considered contenders - not favorites, but contenders
Loyola
Marist
Maine S
LWE
Nap Ctrl
NV
Warren
GBW
Add in rice if they move up.
Can’t wait for October
