Eleven people didn't.
Shiloh should have been #1.
Again, it's not about who you picked. It's about writing a storyline. The sports media in this state loves a storyline. They are always falling all over themselves to try to write the narrative, and then pat themselves on the back for their ingenuity.

NRS/Botno in 2005, Leeds/DT in 99, WC/Munich is 91 are ones just as good that come to mind immediately. I'm sure there have been plenty more as well. Great tournament, great championship game, but the B has delivered many of those moments for years.

I remember NRS-Botno - last second shot by cudworth off the glass, great game. Was Leeds-DT a buzzer beater? WC-Munich - good game, but WC had it won (Munich hit shot on buzzer to pull within a point or 2 I believe).
The thing about HCV - FW was that FW lead the entire way (after the 1st quarter) until 1:30 left in the 4th - HCV's gun struggles all night, comes alive, FW answers, HCV answers, FW takes an ill advised shot, HCV puts one in off of the roof - the best class b state title game ever? I can't say that, but that game ranks WAY up in the past 35 years that I've been following.
