After the first half of the season, Uni High and U-High both remain undefeated and lead their respective divisions. The championship will probably hinge on the final round match between these two teams. Bismarck has the next best record, at 6-2; Bismarck lost to Mahomet and rebounded to win against Olympia. Mahomet, 5-3, then went on to lose to Georgetown, giving Mr. Corbin and the Buffaloes their first win of the season. LaSalette is also 5-3, losing against Heyworth (3-5) and beating Danville (2-6).
The other teams are Urbana (3-5), Mattoon still looking for their first win, last year's West winner Charleston (4-4), and Olympia (2-6).
