One thing that does not make sense to me though in IL is you go all the way thru the state playoffs which is IMO is pretty rigourous by most state HS standards (hence why I like it)and then you get to the final 8 and you play the 1/4s one day and then play the semi's AND finals on the next day? Can anyone in IL explain that? Is it a travel thing? Shouldn't they just take the final 4 to state? or again a travel thing?

Edit: for sp

I have no idea. The only explanation I can think of is that the schools do not want to have their kids out of school more than 1 day. Also they avoid Sunday so no one can say they are playing on a religious day. I would agree that they should somehow figure out how to break that up and play the semi-finals and championship on separate days.

Peace
