With MC and Loyola winning 7a and 8a, when was the last time one conference had the best two teams in the state?
When was the last time #1 and #2 in the state came from the same Conference?
- Thread starter TheWizardofWoodlawn
- Start date
This year they are, by both local and national rankings. Not bad for a 4-team conference.
Why does Loyola, the largest of the State Champ schools, not simply eat the other schools?
Because it’s often a nebulous endeavor, I’d think the CCL Blue has previously accomplished this - although with MC not usually being 8A maybe I’m off.
As a casual observer, I’d tend to agree that LA and MC were 1/2, very solid, but I’d love to see one of them go against ESL or maybe even SHG with the team speed I saw there.

Not in the EdgyTim era which is quite impressive. The DVC in 1992 maybe? It had Naperville North win 6A at 12-2 and Wheaton-Warrenville South win 5A at 14-0.
Does that qualify for a retroactive #1 and #2 in the EdgyTim rankings? Not sure but only one person can answer that.
Don’t think any other year would qualify though. Quite the accomplishment for the CCL/ESCC Blue this year.

LA and MC are pretty clearly the best in the Chicago area but, in the entire state, I think you have to include ESL and say those three pretty clearly separated themselves from everyone else. Regardless, pretty impressive and unusual that two come from the same division.
That’s what I was thinking. Class doesn’t mean everything though. At the risk of being ostracized, I think SHG was better than Naz or Peoria and coulda made things interesting vs anyone.
And apparently 7A champs Mt Carmel is 1 and 8A champs Loyola is 2…?
The NUIC has won 1A and 2A three times.
Okay but I wanna see east side play mt Carmel next season . I know they played in 17 and 18 but eside wasn’t as good back then .
Cal preps has MC by 4 against ESL on a neutral field for whatever that’s worth. It’s a shame they can’t play most years, would be an incredible revival.
I don't think Lemont or Edwardsville keep a game close vs MC this year. Loyola completely dismantle an Edwardsville team before letting off the gas in the 2nd half being up 35-0. ESL was up 6-0.
I don’t think MC was as good those years as it is this year either.
As an ESL guy, y’all can have whatever mythical title that suits you tonight. ESL will celebrate its 10 title. Congrats to LA and MC as well. Enjoy the night as next year start in the morning!
As long as ESL continues trophy shopping in 6A they cannot be considered as the best. Not my logic.
The old, reliable, transitive theory applied to common opponents… We could do the reverse, how would La/MC fare against Creekside, Georgia and Saint Francis?
Didn't SHG do better vs Providence than Loyola?
