Most likely 5-4 Team to get to Finals

Nazareth Academy has a slightly better chance than Provi to make it to the finals in my opinion, only because Providence has to face JCA in the second round.

PC has a much tougher path than Naz. Provi would have to beat a pretty good Wheaton Acad followed by JC, RIchmond-Burton and then St Francis to reach the finals. I think Morgan Park is the only team that would be a favorite vs Naz before the finals.

Yep, PC pretty good but the draw both JC and PC got in 4A is just about as tough as any draw from 4a through 7a.

whoever gets to Champaign out of that quadrant will more than have earned it.

Naz sitting pretty good in 5A.

I’d say JCA and Provi are the only CCL/ESCC schools that got unlucky in the draw since they have to play each other in the second round. No other CCL/ESCC has a chance of running into each other until quarterfinals.
 
So both pretty good teams to make a run in their classes. I think it was 2018 that JCA was 5-4 and went on to win 4A in a great game against Montini. Must have been a couple others I’m sure to win the title after being 5-4. Did a Glenbard do it several years ago?

Pretty sure Montini, IC and Loyola are only other ones to do it.
 
2007 - they made it to the finals. Didn’t win it.

Three teams from the DVC were in the 7A/8A finals in ‘07.

Folks, thanks for responding to this post with your opinions and information.
Good luck to your teams tonight and Saturday.

The 2018 JCA vs. Montini title game was in class 5A, not 4A.

My guess is that they will, in fact, meet in the semi-finals.
IF it happens, would be a great game. Not sure what Naz has as far as team speed this year but I'm fairly certain Sycamore plays on grass if the game ends up there.
 
Naz has good speed. Their top player on offense is headed to Wisconsin. Their QB is good for being only a Soph.

Hoping now for a Carmel Catholic / Naz rematch.

The way everyone is hyping NAZ....and talking about the finals, you guys need to focus on the task at hand because you have your hands full with GBS tonight and possibly Boylan Catholic...so lets get passed those first before we talk about finals, anything can happen in playoffs🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️

This is a message board. Everyone is entitled to whatever they want to talk about/discuss.

Who are you to judge? Let the discussion be fluid, because it’s a great time of the season to get behind your team and show some support.

Outcomes will be settled on the field.

Im not judging im simply saying....focus on getting passed GBS tonight, you can have predictions but im saying out of respect for the other teams with higher seeds, to say NAZ has an easy path is just disrespectful In my opinion🤷🏽‍♂️
 
Never said they (Naz) have an easy path.

My anticipation is a hopeful rematch! WTF

Couldn't agree more. That's why they play the game. That being said the seeding number just means that team won more games, not necessarily that they are the better team. Crazy stuff happens every year and that's why everyone hear loves it so much but with the ability to watch so many teams online now and how good they may be it may not be fair to say one team has an easy path but it could be accurate. I'm rooting for GBS tonight but I just don't see it happening. Would love to be proved wrong.

No one on this site is playing this weekend, so it is ok to look past teams. My confidence in a team has zero effect on the games outcome.

Wait.... What??? Me sitting/standing in the same spot in the bleachers doesn't affect the game? Or wearing the same outfit? Surely eating the same meal does, right....?

If you don't want to mess with a winning streak everyone knows the underwear is key. That pair doesn't leave your body until the team loses. Season could hang in the balance based on whether or not you change your briefs!
