. You feel me? They're really upping their game this year. I was super bummed that some of those matches got cancelled, but I guess you can't control everything 
. King vs Leo is gonna be a thriller when they play, mark my words! 
i remember watching the same St Ignatius team when they were just freshmen, now they're seniors and they got dominated by Loyola lol what's going on with that neighborhood Rich vs Lindblom game was super intense btw, I'm glad Marshall came out on top, but it would've been awesome to see that Rich-Unity Christian matchup 
. Like, who cares if Loyola beat St. Ignatius or not? It's just a bunch of 17-year-olds running around on the court... zzz... And don't even get me started on how many matchups got cancelled because of scheduling conflicts - what a bummer 
. I mean, can't they all just figure it out and play already?! 
It seems like everyone's having a great time celebrating wins and losses, but honestly, it's all just so... predictable
