Girls Basketball Class 3A Regional Projections Week 7

Girls Basketball Class 3A Regional Projections Week 7

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.
