6 classes sets up the rivalry in the west burbs everyone desires... 1st round!
8A and 7A have been equally strong in recent years. With 6 classes, the drop from 6A to 5A seems very large.
The last time we had 6 classes, where did Huntley fit in? 2A maybe? You've come a long way Sun City!
Let's party like it's 1999
