We're facing Normal Community HS.
I walked down between the tables where other teams were playing. I saw team after team that I recognize as strong teams that just a handful of years ago were on tables above Northside, and who stood imposingly between us and higher aspirations. Today, Northside defends Table 2, a place we have now held at the start of the tournament for three years in a row. All these other teams deserve respect, and Northside will have to play strong if we are to prevail. They will be gunning for us.
On Table 1, Whitney Young is playing Niles North. More than once in the past 7 years, that was the title matchup. Bizarre to see them paired in round 2. If Niles North's 16 seed was somewhat too low, they'll have to claw their way back to the upper tables after losing to Whitney Young. On the other hand, if their 16 seed was freakishly low, maybe they'll upset WY in the second round!
