Class 3A Girls Regional Prediction Review
I did my predictions for Regional last week. I predicted 7 of the 8 state qualifiers correct. I missed only 1 and I am not sure many who had it. My only missed pick was Peyton advancing and they were upset.
Class 3A Girls State Tournament Predictions
Elite 8 Predictions
#9 Ellicott over #16 Buena Vista
These two teams have met at least once this season. I have said it countless times this year that it’s not easy to beat a team a second or third time in a season. Look for each team to adjust and look for this to be a great matchup.
#5 Vanguard over #13 Grand Valley
This is a rematch of the 3rd place game from last year. Vanguard won by 14 points, but I don’t expect that big a spread this time around. I do feel Vanguard is playing their best basketball and that is why I am leaning with Vanguard.
#2 Centauri over #7 St. Mary’s
I believe this will be a fantastic matchup. Two teams with tons of tradition and this should be a great game. I like the way Centauri plays defense and I am leaning their way. I could see an upset here if St. Mary’s locks up on defense as well.
#6 Platte Valley over #3 C.S Christian
My upset pick but I don’t consider this an upset. Platte Valley has not lost to a 3A opponent in two years and all of their losses this season were to 4A and 5A teams. I do think C.S Christian can matchup with Platte Valley, but experience will be key in this game and Platte Valley has that edge.
Final Four Predictions
#5 Vanguard over #9 Ellicott
#6 Platte Valley over #2 Centauri
Championship Saturday
#6 Platte Valley over #5 Vanguard (Championship)
#2 Centauri over #9 Ellicott (3rd Place Game)
