5A Philips probably easiest champion to pick- maybe

6A Prairie Ridge Samson better be ready!

7A Lake Zurich It was between them and Swagger High South so I flipped a coin. Then did 2 out of 3. Then did 4 out of 7. LZ kept winning.

8A Maine South I have picked them every year except last year. Brutal!

Hardest spots for me are always 5A. (just don't have a feel for the Dunlaps of the world) and the lower 6A as well as that upper 7A semi this year. In 6A Crete could lose 2nd round or win it.

A kid from LT spent a season there a few years ago trying to make it in the youth setup. Great story how the club has been able establish their place in the top flight. Following the premier league, champions league etc is a good distraction during the football offseason.

I'll go with my theory that soccer is not a sport

But going with the thread:

5A: Phillips
6A: Hoffman Estates
7A: Batavia
8A: Barrington
Well these are interesting picks. I can’t see HE or Barrington coming out of those loaded brackets but I’m also the 4th smartest person in my household so what the heck do I know?

Why AFCB? Random club...

Saw the documentary about them before their inaugural season. I didn't wanna be a supporter of one of the big clubs (Man U, Man City, Arsenal, or Chelsea), so I latched onto the Cherries! The rest is history.
