Preview - Seedings and History

Northside is seeded 10th this year.  While not the highest seeding in the last few years, Northside is showing consistency over time.  Seeded below us are a number of previous powerhouse schools and even the perennial champions from 2000-2005, Niles North at 27.  Hinsdale Central is at 14, Evanston at 15, and #2 finisher two years ago, Benet Academy all the way down at 62.  Chess programs can fluctuate a lot.  It is a tribute to Northside students and coach Florin that Northside continues to be one of the power players in Illinois.
