58-10 Six victories, including Matthew. Two draws: Christian and James.
It ain't easy being top seed. Evanston, #3, played 70th seed in Rd 3 and swept 68-0. So did several other top ten teams. (I will explain the accelerated pairings that lead to this in another post)
But 1 seed Whitney Young played 14 seed Glenbrook South, and NCP played Highland Park, 27 seed who just got done upsetting 12th-seeded Waubonsie Valley. HP wrestled us to a couple of draws.
Why do I bring up Whitney Young, too?
You know them, the ones with the highest-rated Illinois high school player in memory (higher than Eric Rosen - perhaps the highest since Florin in the late nineties?)
Well, Glenbrook South is a perennial nemesis for Whitney Young. They took WY to the wire, and scored 27.5 points against them. I believe this is the best any team has done against WY since last year's City Championship, when Northside narrowly lost 32-36. And how did they do it? Ever heard of Gavin McClanahan? You have now -- he beat Sam Schmakel!
Succinct analysis, coach Caldwell
ReplyDeleteI've certainly heard of Gavin, and so has Sam. I'm not surprised to hear Gavin played Sam toe-to-toe.
