I'll take Central Cass in this game.
Region 2 Title Game - (16-7) #1 (10) Thompson vs #3 Grafton (17-6)
My gut tells me Grafton will win this game.
Region 3 Title Game - (20-4) D6#1 Medina-Pingree-Buchanan vs D5#3 (RV) Ellendale (14-9)
I'll take Ellendale to win this game.
Region 4 Title Game - (17-7) #5 North Star vs #6 Warwick (18-6)
I'll take North Star to win this game.
Region 5 Title Game - (19-4) #1 (4) Shiloh Christian vs #2 (9) Garrison (20-3)
I think Bismarck Shiloh Christian wins this game.
Region 6 Title Game - (22-2) D12#1 (3) Bishop Ryan vs D12#2 Des Lacs-Burlington (18-6)
I think Minot Bishop Ryan wins.
Region 7 Title Game - (20-2) #1 (5) Bowman County vs #2 (8) Beulah (20-3)
I think Bowman will win this one, seems like they have it figured out in their last 6 quarters.
Region 8 Title Game - (18-4) D16#1 Powers Lake-Burke Central vs D16#2 Kenmare-Bowbells (14-10)
I'll take Powers Lake/BC to win this one.
I think if CC, Minot Ryan, Bismarck Shiloh and Bowman win they are the 1-4 seeds. If any of those top 4 lose then seeding will be very interesting. I could see a case being made for seeds for 13 of the 16 teams playing for titles pending the results of the games!
Since Ellendale is technically 21-2...I could see them getting ranked in the 5 seed area...
I don't foresee Region 8 getting a seed even with a bunch of upsets on Thursday.
3 "B" Schools guaranteed at State
2 "A" Schools guaranteed at State
Regions 5 & 7 pit "A" vs. "B"
Edit: Region 6 is technically "A" vs. "B"
