Providence Catholic’s unprecedented<br />

baseball title<br />

reign ended last year when<br />

Sandburg knocked the Celtics<br />

off at the Class 4A Homewood-Flossmoor<br />

Sectional.<br />

The Celtics had a postseason<br />

23-game winning streak<br />

snapped. They had won three<br />

consecutive state titles, which<br />

had never been done before<br />

in the history of the Illinois<br />

High School Association.<br />

If the Celtics want to win<br />

another state title in 2018,<br />

they have a rough road,<br />

which includes many area<br />

teams standing in the way.<br />

The IHSA announced its<br />

assignments, and the Celtics<br />

— plus six other 22nd<br />

Century Media teams —<br />

will duke it out in the 21-<br />

team Lockport Sectional.<br />

Lockport, Lincoln-Way<br />

East,Lincoln-Way Central,<br />

Lincoln-Way West, Sandburg<br />

and Andrew are also in<br />

the mix. Providence is the<br />

only area team that will lost<br />

a regional.<br />

Other teams in the sectional<br />

are Eisenhower, Marist,<br />

Bloom, Marian, Crete-Monee,<br />

Homewood-Flossmoor,<br />
