Grafton's half of the bracket is Grafton vs. Glenburn and Kenmare vs. Wilton-Wing
Other half is Central Cass vs. Hettinger Scranton and Carrington vs. Langdon
If I was Grafton I think I would be pretty happy with how the tournament bracket shook out but maybe someone knows something I don't.

Cass was 5-1 against those teams with their loss against Thompson.
Grafton was 3-2 with losses to Cass and Kindred.
Kenmare 1-0.
Carrington 2-3 with losses to Kindred, Cass, and Thompson.
LEM 1-2, losses to Grafton and Carrington, but it's pretty obvious their win over Kindred got them the seed.
W/W 0-1 lost to Linton
Glenburn 0-1 lost to Kenmare
H/S 0-0.
Top 5 all had a win against a top 10 team. I know you can only beat who is on your schedule, but I could make a case looking at those games above, that based on strength of schedule they got it right. Now if Glenburn beats Kenmare by 1 instead of losing to them by 1, it changes everything.

Grafton over Glenburn by double digits.
Kenmare over WIlton-Wing in a single digit game.
Central Cass over Hettinger-Scranton by double digits.
Langdon-Edmore-Munich over Carrington by double digits. (After watching the Region 3 Championship game LEA has to put a full court press on Carrington don't they?)

Do you base this on the last poll? Or on if they were top 10 at the time of the win?

Pretty sure they meant top 5 seeds in the state tournament.
I think the post had pretty sound logic. It's a great argument of SOS vs schedule. Don't necessarily agree but it made me look at it a differently.
