Loyola finishes the regular season at No. 3...

...in the Tribune poll. The Ramblers are the top 8A team in the poll and are seeded No. 2 in their bracket. The Wilmette squad will face Young in the first round of the playoffs.

St. Rita dropped to No. 4 in the Trib poll and will begin the post-season against Highland Park.

Stevenson comes in at No. 6, is seeded No. 1 in their 8A bracket, and will play New Trier. (Why do I think the Patriots and the Ramblers are on a collision course?)

Mount Carmel vaulted to No. 7 with its shutout of Providence Friday and will square off against Bolingbrook.

Carmel dropped to No. 8 after losing to Cincinnati Elder, 21-14, and will play Elgin.

And finally, Maine South finished at No. 15 and will play Notre Dame in the first round.
