Byron’s 3A Final Four Picks (Super-Sectional Winners)

<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Cutting right to the chase, I went for the upsets in this class, and I was either way off or just flat out wrong in most of them (bottom of the page). Even with most of this class having the talent be so evenly spread, three out of the four 3A super-sectional matchups feature two #1 seeds, with only one true “upset” bracket being made up of the 3rd and 5th seeds. Regardless, the field is down to eight programs, and after Monday, only four of these programs will move on with a chance to compete for a state title in Bloomington. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Below are my super-sectional picks for the 3A Class</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":3} --> <h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>RIVER FOREST SUPER-SUPER-SECTIONAL</strong></h3> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"style":{"elements":{"link":{"color":{"text":"var:preset|color|primary"}}}},"textColor":"primary"} --> <p class="has-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color"><em>GLENBARD SOUTH VS.
