Boys Basketball Class 3A Regional Projections Week 5

Boys Basketball Class 3A Regional Projections Week 5

For my projections I am using the CHSAA Seeding and Selection Index. I am going to be predicting the League Champions. Remember to qualify for Regionals you must be ranked inside the top 32 or win your League (If you have 5 or more teams). At the end I pick the 8 teams I think make it to state based on my projections.
