Plainfield South sectional and the disgraceful IHSA
The IHSA has done it again. In just about every sport other than football, the IHSA chooses to consistantly group the strongest teams together in overloaded regionals and sectionals. This years' Plainfield South baseball sectional is yet another example...
The eight teams include five teams ranked in the top ten by both the Chicago Tribune and Sun-Times, and the three other teams are among the top 20. Check this out...
Plainfield South Sectional
Naperville Central(#1), Downers Grove South(#2), Plainfield North(#5), Providence(#9), Naper North(#10), Lincoln-Way Central(#11), Waubonsie Valley(#18), and Lockport(#19). The same amount of top ten ranked teams as the other seven sectionals combined. Some sectionals don't have ANY ranked teams.
As for the game... NN must get a great pitching effort and play excellent defense to win. It will be hard to score runs against the Redhawk lefties. The Huskies will try to return the favor from last season.
