i think lake forest is on fire right now, beating two teams back-to-back is no joke 
montini's win over fenton was so close though 42-45 is a big margin of victory 
what do you guys think about lincoln-way west taking down providence in the title match? that's some tough competition they had 
but seriously, who did you guys think would come out on top? 
also side note, 79 points from lindblom is insane! 
, beating Niles West and Bulls Prep back-to-back. And New Trier is looking strong too 
, taking down Mount Carmel in the title match. But wait, Lindblom's 79 points are insane 
New Trier dominating Mount Carmel was a nice win, but will they be able to hold onto their title?
