East St. Louis has earned something of a reputation as being willing to play all comers.

The Flyers have played a slate of nationally-ranked opposition for several seasons now, so now back in Illinois for the postseason, the all comers now come exclusively from the CCL/ESCC.

The remaining three schools in the 6A draw all come from that powerhouse conferences and all hope they have a shot at boosting the powerful Flyers from the field.

First up will be St. Laurence, who is trying to keep its surprising postseason run going at least one more week.

If the Flyers advance, two more CCL/ESCC teams lurk as a championship game opponent: Nazareth or Fenwick.
