And no-one surprised the top eight teams. Behind the velvet rope, I saw mostly sweeps and near-sweeps, such as our stingiest-mathematically-possible-non-sweep 65.5-2.5. Only Evanston (5 seed) was challenged on more than two boards. Their second board narrowly escaped with a draw against University Normal - the Normal player was bitterly disappointed not to secure the win.
But then Coach Caveney bumped into Mount Prospect's coach in the hall. They played us very strong last year, and, like all our opponents in 2011, finished strong. This year, seeded 41, they played 13 seed Benet Academy of Lisle, who have a crop of hot-shot freshmen. Mount Prospect came out on top, and now look like a wild card.
