Thoughts on Class 8A for the 2018 season

Until proven otherwise, everything in 8A starts with Lincoln-Way East and Loyola. Those are the teams to beat. I think Glenbard West - if the Hitters stay in 8A - could make a run to the semis. Homewood-Flossmoor is young but ridiculously talented enough to gain the semis as well. Also look out for Marist, Hinsdale Central, Maine South, and New Trier.

8A is the equivalent of World Cup Soccer's Group of Death - tons of championship-caliber teams who will get eliminated in the first and second rounds.
