We’ve reached the quarterfinals, which means only 64 teams remain alive in the Illinois High School Association state playoffs. I made the executive decision to stick with teams still playing for this week’s Super 25. In past years I’ve kept some of the larger class schools that put together impressive seasons in the rankings at this point, but that didn’t happen this year.
Hersey, which finishes 10-1 after losing to Downers Grove North, only beat one team that was ranked this season (Prospect). So the Huskies fall from No. 6 to out entirely.
