The Class 1A and Class 2A playoffs get underway tomorrow. The big schools are next week. There are some interesting non conference matchups this week and some of the crossover championship games. But basically, it is playoff time.
New additions
Indian Creek (30-0): There has been a revolving door at the bottom of the rankings for the last few weeks. Are the Timberwolves as good as Fenwick or Benet, Hinsdale South or Niles North? Probably not. But those teams have all had multiple weeks in the Super 25 and if a perfect regular season doesn’t get a team into the rankings what will?
Dropping out
Fenwick (23-7): The Friars lost to Loyola at home this past week. No shame in that and clearly they will be a major factor in the playoffs.
