Illpolo.com published its final boys and girls top-25 rankings on Sunday and there were some non-standard grades issued.
While the boys top four followed what happened at the state tournament, there were three state quarterfinalists that did not appear in the top eight of the illpolo.com rankings. Schauburg dropped to 20, Stevenson to No. 9 and York to No. 12.
The replacements were No. 8 Neuqua Valley, the sectional runner-up to state runner-up Naperville Central, No. 6 Homewood-Flossmoor, the sectional runner-up to No. 4 Sandburg and No. 7 Brother Rice, the runner-up to No. 3 Lyons.
Naperville North is 10th and Waubonsie Valley 15th, meaning their value is that of a sectional runner-up, despite both losing in the sectional semifinals.
On the girls side, Naperville Central slipped to No. 6 despite making the state semifinals (and losing twice) for the first time. Quarterfinalists H-F (9), Fremd (16) and Evanston (12) all fell out of the top eight.
The usurpers are No. 4 St. Ignatius, which lost to state champion Fenwick in the sectional final,and Sandburg (7) and Lyons (8), both of whom lost to defending state champion and state runner-up Mother McAuley in the sectional.
Neuqua was 10th and Waubonsie 14th.
