If the District system was in place for 2019...Who would be your 7A Playoff Teams?


Using our guy Steve Soucie District projections using 7A....who would be your 4 IHSA state qualifier teams from each District? Which teams have an easier path? Which teams would get "left out" despite being a pretty strong team because of it's loaded district? (and yes I'm aware of East St Louis not planning to move up to 7A....just play along regardless for now)

Interesting change of pace from the Naz perspective. A few years ago they "should only be a 4A/5A team," and it wasn't "fair to the kids" for having to play up due to other teams successes.

Naz would not petition up to 8A.

Sorry, I should stay in my lane.
On the contrary, you should continue to express your opinions. I've gotten a tremendous amount of amusement out of many of them. Keep up the excellent work.

At least you won’t lose to Naz this year.
