Now things get serious. Eight undefeated teams. All strong. Four will win, four will take their first loss and be out of contention for the state title.
Last year, we made it into the undefeated eight, and we proudly finished eighth. This year, we intend to go beyond.
On paper, the number two seed would be distinctly favored against the 7 seed. On paper, Stevenson has two boards USCF rated above 2000, likely the highest-rated board 2 in Illinois.
At Evanston in November, Liang beat Kent Cen on Board 1.
The match will be decided over the board today, in Peoria.
We shake hands in two hours -- at 9:00 AM.
It is 7:00 AM now. Coach Caveney is knocking on doors.
