Tournament Favorite
It is tough to narrow down a clear favorite this year in 2A. The group of teams that could be considered the favorites includes Nashville and Teutopolis from southern Illinois. Central Illinois teams to watch include Bloomington Central Catholic, Gibson City, and Newman Central Catholic. From the Chicago area Aurora Christian, Orr, and Leo. It wouldn’t shock us to see any of these teams holding the trophy.
