St Francis @ Sycamore

Last year was at Naz as well. SF has been to 4 semifinals over the last 10 years…3 of them have been played @ Naz…..

They need to move one of you to the south or seed 5a a true 1 to 32.

Once you get down to JCA, SF and Naz, all the powerhouse schools in the bracket are there.
 
Was last years game at SF?

This is going to be a tough choice for me (speaking as a Montoni Alum)

SF at Naz or

Wilmington at Montini

I'm dying to see both
If you want to see a good game it has to be Naz/SF. Montini/Wilmo spread is at least a bakers dozen.
 
Are you thinking of potentially 4Anorth? We've all been there...
Nah, he's way more respected than me, but I have said nothing about privates beating publics. Just someone else trying to start an argument that isn't there.
 
4Afan comes out with these statements every season about this time when he also pontificates about the unfairness of the Private schools.
to be fair, when a down year private school loses the multiplier then comes back with a monster team two classes down it is a bit rough. a resurgent montini (just for a this year example) doesn't look right in 3a

I may stand corrected…my apologies good man, I must have categorized you unfairly because of the “toughest team Naz has seen this season” comment
I did say that. Didn't comment further because I didn't see a second of the game, but not sure how that's a public/private thing.

For the record, Montini was multiplied into 5A back in 2019 where they lost in round two to Sycamore. They failed to make the playoffs in 2021 and 2022. They lost in last year's 3A semifinals to Byron. They beat Byron by ONE POINT in round 2 of 3A this year.

Seems to me that they are appropriately classified in 3A.
