More Saturday Tournaments

As quickly as I can before the Saturday night begins...Loyola beat St Ignatius (girls) to win the Ignatius Tournament at UIC. Colleen Shaw and Jackie Sershon had big offensive games for the Ramblers and Shaw ends up as the unofficial MVP of the tournament. Look for an article about this one in the SunTimes tomorrow.

At St Viator, three teams went 4-1 so the tournament ended up going to point differential, so Prospect/Wheeling took that crown (+29) over St Viator (+26) and Huron, MI (+20) even though St Viator beat P/W in the final game 6-4, since Huron beat Viator while P/W beat Huron and my head just spun in a circle firguring that out. Similar to how 6 teams went 1-2 at the Ignatius Tournament for three-way ties in both brackets that also were determined by tiebreakers.

It would seem as though St Patrick will win their tournament; they dominated against Loyola 14-3 in the first place bracket, while Loyola defeated Rice 12-11 (the final game was between Pats and Rice). Hopefully we will have those scores and the All-Tournament Team voted on by the coaches there later tonight.

Stevenson won the Lake County Tournament over Mundelein 14-6, Barrington took third with a 6-4 win over Libertyville, and Highland Park jumped to fifth place in the tournament with wins over Vernon Hills and Deerfield over the weekend.

It was already mentioned that Naperville Central won their tournament over the likes of Oak Park, Stagg, and Fremd...

...Glenbrook South went 3-0 to capture the small tournament at Highland Park (boys)...

...and Latin went 3-0 at their tournament, beating Stevenson, Palatine, and Neuqua Valley in the process of winning that title. Palatine also knocked off Stevenson and Neuqua, which are impressive wins, while Neuqua held off Stevenson 13-9.

There were a couple other tournaments out there, but I haven't heard of who played, when they played, where they played (well I guess I know that), or even if they played...so if you are one of those teams without scores or games listed and you know for a fact or are at least pretty sure that you played today....uhh, eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-maaaaaaaaaaaaaaiiiiiiillllllllllll me at illpolo@yahoo.com. PEACE be unto you.
