Here are the latest proposed match ups in 8A Let's take a look at which ones are not what we used to see with the North/South brackets
(32) Aurora West at (1) Loyola NEW
(17) Stevenson at (16) Oswego NEW
(25) Fremd at (8) Barrington OLD
(24) Sandburg at (9) New Trier NEW
-
(29) Bartlett at (4) Edwardsville NEW
(20) Conant at (13) Maine South ???
(28) O'Fallon at (5) Brother Rice NEW
(21) Belleville East at (12) Curie NEW
----
(31) Joliet West at (2) Huntley NEW
(18) Warren at (15) Oak Park-River Forest NEW
(26) Waubonsie Valley at (7) Naperville Central OLD
(23) Evanston at (10) South Elgin NEW
-
(30) Plainfield South at (3) Homewood-Flossmoor NEW
(19) Lyons at (14) Palatine NEW
(27) Marist at (6) Hinsdale Central OLD
(22) Neuqua Valley at (11) Niles Notre Dame NEW
By my take its 12 games that we would not see in the first round under the old method. Three that are pretty similar to what we would see and one that I am not too sure about. 75% is not too bad. The longest two trip are O'Fallon traveling to Rice and Belleville going to Curie
Some of these match ups are new based on which of the usual suspects are sitting out this years dance
