Friday: Class 4A Hinsdale Central Regional Final: Curie(Chicago) vs Hinsdale Central. Curie is the higher seed and has to win against a tough Red Devils team in front of their fans. City teams usually do not travel well to the suburbs, so look for a very hostile environment. Curie has only one senior recipe for disaster for them.

Friday: Class 4A Maine South(Park Ridge) Regional Final: Glenbrook South(Glenview) vs Maine South(Park Ridge). Another higher seed having to win a road game on opponent's home court. Maine South has been tough here the last few years.

Friday: Class 2A Orr Academy(Chicago) Regional Final: North Lawndale College Prep(Chicago) vs Orr Academy(Chicago). Could the 3 time defending Class 2A Champ's unprecedented run end here on their home court. Should be interesting.
