It would be better for morale and interest if they were in a more geographically tight division...north side teams have a tendency to be one and dones or scraping by as 5th place out of 6 when they do the far flung divisions (last year Schurz played Brooks, Kenwood, Westinghouse and Steinmetz conference, beating only Steinmetz). The old NW division (Young, Lane Tech, Taft, Clemente and Steinmetz) and later the Big Shoulders (Chicago level, but all polyglot 1500+ enrollment on N and NW side) was better for rivalries.
