I did not see any of the games yesterday, but 3 teams from one conference in the semis is truly a remarkable feat. Proof that competitive conference play prepares you well for the playoffs. Kudos!
3 CCL Blue teams in the semis
- Thread starter Gforce5_rivals223435
- Start date
Only other one I can think of in the large classes might be MSL both divisions? Hoffman 6A and the rest 7A and 8A?
There might be some small classes conferences with 2A, 3A 4A all playing together
off top of my head...NIB 4A-6A...Central State 8 4A-6A..Mid Illini 5A-7A.
Last year NIB had Morris Sycamore and Dekalb in Semis...Sterling and Morris still playing this year...with Morris knocking of another NIB in Rochelle yesterday

And to think MC won't be in the Blue next year. It truly is a shame a school with such a rich tradition can't compete in the conference/division anymore. 
Well, I just watched Loyola take out Marist on the Comcast GOTW..they looked pretty darn good..it's a long way to E'Ville, but I have a strong feeling the Ramblers will be up in DeKalb Thanksgiving weekend...and....how about Mt Carmel & Providence coming back after their playoff hiatus last season and now both one win away from the dance??
CCL Blue 11-1 for the year in the play-offs. 3 teams in the semi's. I guess a down year for the Blue. Yes - that was sarcasm.
The beast and or swagger await.........Sampson the Superman........the superfast LZ "bears"(?) .........it's the semi's - no guarantee of anything..........just getting there is a feat unto itself .....
The Sangamo Conference lost one of their four teams that were in the quarters (3A Williamsville) but have left....Athens in the 1A semis, Maroa Forsyth in the 2A semis, and Pleasant Plains in the 3A semis.

Add Warren and Libertyville to that list w/ Zion Benton vs Libertyville in a situation where only one could advance. NSC was certainly well represented in the POs
The original question was how many other conferences have that span of classes, and I stated NSC. Also stated only LZ was left in the PO. I kind of thought that would preclude any snide remarks. I guess not.
