Batavia’s ‘loss’ to Mt. Carmel is reminiscent of 30 years ago when the refs took the state championship away from WWS and handed it to the Caravan. No disrespect to Mt. Carmel, they have a great program, it’s just takes a major miracle for a public HS to go deep into the playoffs vs the recruiting range of the private schools, and the refs.
