Technically, this is Phillips' first Sectional championship. The Wildcats won the Chicago Public League Tournament in 1977, which was the equivalent of a super-sectional under the tournament format at that time.

The longest current streak of consecutive Sectional championships is three in a row by DePaul and Teutopolis. Downers Grove North, Illini Bluffs, Meridian, and New Trier have now won back-to-back Sectional championships.

Three of the four teams in the Beardstown sectional were ranked by Nesto at some point during the season -- just not in the final rankings.
