My Picks....

(all in no particular order)
1. Barrington/Warren/Huntley/Stevenson
2. Loyola/Maine South/Notre Dame/Palatine
3. St. Charles East/Fremd/Lake Park/Conant
4. GB West/Naper C/Naper N/West Aurora
5. HIns C/OPRF/Lyons/Proviso West
6. NV/WV/Oswego/Brook
7. Marist/Rice/LWE/H-F
8. Edwards/Minooka/OFallon/Plain S

Just missed the cut?
1. McHenry
2. Evanston/New Trier
3. Glenbard North
4. York
5. Leyden/Taft
6. Plain N/Oswego E
7. Curie/Sandburg
8. Joliet W/Belleville East

Easiest District? I mean nothing here is what I would consider "easy" but District 3 along with District 8 aren't exactly world beaters compared to a few others here.

Your thoughts? Post em and I'll also answer 7A thru 5A this weekend
