Biggest
Surprises
BOYS
Oak Park, Neuqua, and Stevenson Beat Brother Rice
One tournament does not a season make, but these three
teams will surely gain loads of confidence from beating one of the state's
perennial favorites at the Fenwick Tournament.
Hinsdale Central Stuns Neuqua In Overtime
It hasn't taken long for the Red Devils to rebuild, as
their OT win over Neuqua Valley on Wednesday should prove.
GIRLS
Naperville Central Defeats Fenwick
#2 beating #1 shouldn't seem like a big surprise, only
it has never happened before in this case, with NC claiming their own
tournament title with a 5-4 win over Fenwick.
Barrington Edges Mundelein
The Fillies showed their undefeated start was no fluke
by surprising Mundelein 8-7 on Monday night.
