Well, my predictions for the state quarterfinals were anything but right on, but they weren’t all that far off. In the six classes, there were a total of 24 quarterfinal games played. I picked the winner in 16 times. 16-for-24, not too bad, but not that great either. The one class that really killed me was 2A, where I only had one prediction right – Pierz over Moose Lake-Willow River. In the rest of the class I had 3-out-of-4 right. So, now I will head to the semifinals and predict who will win those games. Before we get to that, though. In my original predictions I told you who I thought would win state in all six classes, and two of those teams have already been knocked out – Wayzata in Class 5A and Triton in Class 2A. So here we go, my semifinal predictions. They got to better, right?
Nine-man
Stephen-Argyle over Verndale
Wheaton over Waubun
Class 1A
Goodhue over Kerkhoven-Murdock-Sunburg
Adrian over Cook County
Class 2A
Hawley over Caledonia
Pierz over Luverne
Class 3A
Perham over DeLaSalle
Glencoe-Silver Lake over Albany
Class 4A
Totino-Grace over Waconia
Mahtomedi over Sartell-St. Stephen
Class 5A
Cretin-Derham Hall over Brainerd
Eden Prairie over Eastview
Until next week, bye.
