It seems as of right now, Geneva and Cary Grove are in the upper bracket (again) while ESL is in the lower. When ESL loses to IMG, and assuming both Geneva and CG win out, do either/both have a chance to leap frog ESL and shake up the bracket?
6A Seeding Shakeup?

- Start date
Since ESL will be south and C-G/Geneva will be north, it doesn’t matter. ESL can’t be “leap frogged” by either of those two teams.
North and south are each seeded 1-16 in class 6A and below.
In the most sarcastic way i can say this... what difference will that make?
The playoffs would be so much better if every class was seeded 1-32 imo. 5A and up at the very least.
I am not sure ESL is going to lose to IMG.
looking at IMG they don’t appear to be the best version of themselves. ESL seems to be a step above previous years. I have a feeling this is going to be a close game.
Cause they lost a game???
#1 in FL and #6 nationally…
Might be close but why is this not the best version of IMG?
No this is definitely not one of IMG better teams, again if only only if the O-line blocks and defense wrap up on tackles Eastside has a chance. #6 in the country is a bit of a stretch to me. I think LWE would have game them a game if they would have met week 2. Perhaps pulled it off.
I like the way you think Flyerforlife.
Take it to IMG. IMG hasn’t played any of the top teams like St. John Bosco or Mater Dei Duncanville etc. The best team (Corner Canyon UT) they played was ranked 19th nationally and they lost. Most of the other teams were 4-3 records or less. IMG maybe 6th but I believe it’s for reputation only. Flyers got this game. Go kick some A$$ and make Illinois proud.
Fun fact my Brother inlaw lives in Bradenton FL. Just a little bit of intel I get. What to you have 4Afan? How many games have you seen. What inside information do you have? Come on you must have more than reputation and what you read.
Rule #1 of edgy free board: speak no ill of esl lest thou be accused of the unspeakable sins. Amen.
4A you good nothing bad was said. But IMG has been to the area the last couple of years perhaps trying to recruit St. Louis metro and Chicago.
Didn’t they recruit a QB from Chicago a few years back? Hahahaha
And they are playing this game in the House of Pain, Clyde C Jordan Stadium, an atmosphere that will be rocking for sure!!!
Think he sought them out since Illinois was stupid and didn't play football that year
Yeah but you had to say something you know nothing about. I know you can’t help yourself.
Go Flyers!
Well you don’t have any intel. Did you bother to even look at who they played this year. Did you look at the scores or the records?
I did. Looked at who they played and some of their players and where they're going to college.
Governor Pritzker was the greatest recruiting tool in the quarterback's recruitment away from Illinois. Don't go flagging me for a political post. The COVID response and those who shut everything down made that recruitment all the more easy. And as a Michigan man, we are grateful he left in order to keep his skills and timing sharp.
All.... I really like that stadium . Easy in and out. Right next door in the fenced in area is a boat load of fun and sitting in the middle of Flyers fans as the game is being played is pretty cool. Ratsy. P.S, I almost forgot. After the game Big Mama's less then two minutes away....
There's a high likelihood that ESL loses this game but it wouldn't matter as far as seeding...
Any idea how the IHSA defines the North/South (by latitude? county?, etc). I've been creating/posting projected brackets in another thread & would update 1-6A accordingly if I know how to assign North/South.
Pretty sure they just take the 32 in the class, put them on a state map, then divide them into two equal groups. Strictly geographical.
I cannot say the IHSA never makes minor exceptions, but having taken a little bit of time looking at past brackets it seems to me it is done very strictly based on the latitude of the actual high school building. Take last year's 2A bracket as an example. Maroa-Forsyth High School naturally takes students from both of those communities. The football team was assigned to the northern bracket. The Athens football team was assigned to the southern bracket. Maroa is north of Athens, but Forsyth is south of Athens. Since the actual high school building for Maroa-Forsyth is located in Maroa (which is north of Athens), Maroa-Forsyth High School was assigned to the northern bracket.
For your purposes, I think your best bet is to assign the high schools to the northern or southern brackets based strictly on the latitude of the high school building.

You are correct. If trying to predict north/south, use latitude line. It doesn’t matter if there are 8 undefeated teams in one half and none in the other.
For some reason, I’m remembering a past year where a small tweak in 2A or 3A might have occurred, due to a school out towards Macomb or something, but maybe that’s just me getting older and more forgetful.
The IMG - Corner Canyon gane was incredible to watch
Corner Canyon lost their next game due to their QB and leading receiver being hurt
Side note
Corner canyon gets a lot of their linemen from the Latter Day Saints organizations in Hawaii
Yes their linemen are Samoan

IMO the biggest problem of playing a national w beside is the west and tear on the team, come playoff time you are really beat up
