Whitney Young is challenging #1 seed Stevenson (there's a lot of that going around) on Table 1. Lane Tech challenges 8th-seeded Highland Park on Table 4. Lincoln Park defends Table 5 against 14th-seeded Hinsdale Central. NCP defend Table 6 against Evanston, the 15th seed.
Four Chicago teams with 21 wins and only 3 losses among them, playing on 4 of the top 6 Tables.
Probably the strongest concentration of CPS teams in history* at this point in the tournament. Fighting to make that history stick, with wins in the final round.
*Unless, of course, you consider Northside playing Whitney Young in Round 7 of 2013 for the overall championship to be the greatest concentration of Chicago Public School chess talent in State history. A case can be made...
Go Mustangs!
