Interesting to see Stevenson beating Auburn by a comfortable margin. Has that been predicted?
Also, I never realized Greg from Fenton was that good. Good for him.
Anyone want to PM me the identity of the Palatine School for Norse Children? I don't recognize the names, unlike the other two psuedonyms.

My ranking is arbitrary and puts New Trier behind WWS because we're 1-1 head to head and I have high self-esteem.
