Grafton and Powers Lake.
I think Grafton has to much talent in their guards but PL will push them hard the whole game.
EKM and Rugby....
I know EKM is physical and can play but I don't think the state officials will let them play like they do in Region 3. If they let them play.... EKM if it is called tight... Rugby
Four Winds and Bismarck...
I take Four winds by 15
DT and Kindred....
Both great defensive teams... maybe the top 5 for both. It will be tight and a game in the 40's. I will take Kindred by 7. Kindred is really tall and very athletic and by the way they are all healthy right now which basically has not happened all year except for a handful of games.

What would be an honest assessment of this advantage in points??? 10 to 15?? They've already been through the first day airballs, the mis judging of the out of bounds lines, the multiple three point lines and the fans behind the basket waving etc, that you will see from all the teams the first time you are in the dome. They should not be as tight day 1.

And EKM is undefeated in all regular season games unfortunately this is THE tournament.

I say Grafton in game 1
EKM in game 2
4 Winds in game 3
Kindred in Game 4
I was hoping Kindred would've been opposite Bracket of 4 Winds...but that's fine...if they play like they have in the past few games...They will beat 4 Winds by 8... They have the strength, the coach, offensive skills, defensive perseverance, the shooting... and a bench. IMO 4WM and Kindred are the Best teams going in.
round 2
EKM over Grafton
Kindred surprises 4WM
Final night
4WM over Grafton
Kindred beats EKM for Title

After visiting with a west side coach i respect, I do think DT is ranked to high, so I can see Kindred being ranked 4th. Kindred has lost 2 of their last 5 games. IMO Kindred wasn’t overly impressive with their play in regionals and they lost to the 2nd and 3rd ranked teams in the state tournament. For the life of me I can’t see how anyone could justify them being anything other than 4 or 5.

It didn't seem to me that they thought the seeds were wrong I just think they wanted to avoid FW. I don't follow the entire state closely, but I think Kindred is the 2nd best team, but I see why they're ranked where they are.

You maybe right and you maybe way off. I know Shiloh is the worst team in this tournament Even though they did beat Powers Lake.
I am just really excited to watch the whole tournament. I do think that FWM and Shiloh will be the only blow out of the tournament.

I wouldn't go that far with Shiloh. They good team speed and quickness that can get turnovers quickly and have some shooters.
I think there is the potential to have a handful of blowouts BUT I think the TV timeouts will keep those under control. I always find it interesting that these kids play by certain rules throughout the whole season and then certain things change once you get to the playoffs and TV timeouts is one BIG potential equalizer.
