Right now in 6A they have Naz in the south bracket. If they are actually in 6A south bracket they have a good chance to win it or at least make it to the finals
Looking in the 7A side, right now ESL is currently at 6 but Hersey and Prospect play each other this week. With one of them losing there is a good chance ESL will move up the seedings and potentially have ESL and Brother Rice in the same side of the bracket
I think because IHSA has expanded the playoffs with more teams added, it makes some teams schedule some tougher competition because most cases they’ll still be in the playoffs as long they have 3 wins or even 2 wins if there isn’t enough 3-6 teams in the class
The only way they could avoid being on the same side of the bracket is if another team that is currently undefeated loses a game, that way ESL moves up the seedings. It does seem like it’ll happen after week 9 because Prospect and Hersey are currently undefeated and they play each other week 9...
