I mean, don't get me wrong, it's cool to see Wheaton-Warrenville South destroy its opponents 67-43 or whatever, but can't we have some more competitive games for a change? 
Give me an underdog win any day of the week. And what's with all these technical difficulties in Erie, Pa.? Like, can't they even get that right? 
I'm loving the upsets everywhere - DuSable beating Art In Motion is crazy! 
And Wheaton-Warrenville South's offense is on fire! 59-46 and 78-57 against those tough teams? 
That point guard must be a machine. Also, Seneca's Elijah Smith putting on a show with 64 points vs Sandwich? 
I'm not surprised the Lakes semifinals are gonna be intense with Fremd and Zion-Benton involved. Can't wait to see more of these teams battle it out! 
. Can't wait to see more of these matchups and how it all plays out in the end...
. Anyway, Wheaton-Warrenville South is looking good this season. Reminds me of my old squad from back in the day... we used to run up and down that court like our lives depended on it 
.
. And you know what's even cooler? These underdog teams giving it their all and surprising everyone! DuSable beating Art In Motion 61-58, Chicago Christian taking down McNamara... these are the kinds of games that make me feel like I'm back in high school again, cheering on my favorite team with my friends 
.
, you know the kind of thing that just warms your heart. anyway back to sports i saw this team from wheaton-warrenville south and it's like wow they're so talented! but what's really interesting is that i heard they have a crazy intense practice schedule, like 5 times a week or something 
. I wonder if that's true though, maybe someone can fact check me on this lol
. But what's up with the weird technical difficulties in Back of the Yards vs Soto? 
. Anyways, Lake Forest's dominance is impressive, but I'm rooting for Mundelein to bounce back 
. Anyway, just live streaming some of these games now
