In a sign of respect and depth for the CPS, the IHSA seeded 3 teams in the top 26. Defending state champion Whitney Young is seeded #1, Northside Prep is #2, a much improved Kelly team is #24 and Lincoln Park and #1 Board Gar Crowell (above) is seeded #26.
The first round pairings for State are now online at http://www.ihsa.org/data/ct/mpairings.htm.
Whitney Young is the #1 seed, Northside Prep is the #2 seed.
If I have followed the pairing system correctly, the other CPS teams' seeds are:
24 Kelly
26 Lincoln Park
47 Lane Tech
108 ACE Tech
116 Marshall
The CPS teams' first round matches and table numbers (higher seed first) are:
1 Whitney Young vs. Cary-Grove
2 Northside Prep vs. Waubonsie Valley
19 Riverside-Brookfield vs. Lane Tech
24 Kelly vs. McHenry
26 Lincoln Park vs. Oak Lawn Community
45 Plano vs. ACE Tech
53 York vs. Marshall
I have never seen the CPS seeded #1 and #2 in the state chess tournament. The last time the CPS finished 1-2 in the state tournament was in 1988 when Kenwood won state and Lane Tech came in 2nd.
