If you read the Prep Rewind on Wednesday, you saw that Neuqua Valley clinched the Upstate Eight Conference championship. What was confusing to us was that Neuqua coach Erich Mendoza reported that his team was 7-0.
Since Waubonsie Valley on May 13 is the last UEC team on its schedule, that would mean Neuqua would play an eight-match schedule when the other teams all have nine-match schedules. Didn't add up.
I took a hard look at Neuqua's schedule and found that the Wildcats are actually 8-0, which means Neuqua has clinched the conference championship outright. So, you know, celebrate and stuff.
As best as I can tell, given the facts I have, this is what I think the Upstate Eight Conference standings look like for boys volleyball.
Neuqua Valley (8-0)
Lake Park (6-2)
Bartlett (4-2)
St. Charles North (6-2 or 5-3)
Waubonsie Valley (5-3)
St. Charles East (4-3)
South Elgin (2-6)
Streamwood (2-6)
Elgin (1-7)
Larkin (0-7)
