Updated for this week
District 1
1. Gehlen
2. MMC-RU
3. Sibley-Ocheyedan
4. HMS
I don't believe there is any way that this isn't the way the district finishes.
District 2
1. West Hancock
2. Saint Ansgar
3. Newman
4. Lake Mills
Even though Newman lost to North Union, they will be the #3 and Lake Mills the #4
District 3
1. Wapsie
2. South Winn
3. North Tama
4. Nashua Plainfield
North Butler taking down NP last night made this district a lot more interesting. Here is the break down.
Nashua Plainfield 4-1 +35
Wapsie Valley 4-1 +59
North Tama 4-2 +35
South Winn 3-2 +24
Wapsie vs Nashua Plainfield Winner is the Champ
Wapsie is currently +59 NP +35
South Winn Should finish at 4-2 +41
North Tama finishes 4-2 +35
If NP wins Wapsie finishes second no matter what, if Wapsie wins it is probably my prediction unless South Winn doesn't beat BCL-UW and win by 17.
District 4
1. Maquoketa Valley
2. North Linn
3. Bellevue
4. Starmont
Maquoketa Valley is the district champ, North Linn vs Bellevue winner is 2nd and Starmont is 4th.
District 5
1. Lisbon
2. Pekin
3. Columbus
4. Danville
The top are set, Columbus vs Danville for 3/4 I'll take Columbus is that one. No changes in these predictions.
District 6
1. Madrid
2. Mount Ayr
3. Lynnville Sully
4. Wayne
These are set
District 7
1. AC/CG
2. Riverside
3. Earlham
4. SCC
It is actually Earlham vs SCC for 3/4 now
District 8
1. Tri Center
2. Woodbury Central
3. LoMa
4. St. Albert
St. Albert vs Westwood for the 4th and final spot this week, I believe the final 3 are set unless Kingsley Pierson beats Tri Center, which could move the St. Albert vs Westwood winner to #3 and St. Albert to #4 based on points.
Matchup Predictions
Gehlen vs SCC
West Hanock vs HMS
Wapsie Valley vs Starmont
Maquoketa Valley vs Danville
Lisbon vs Nashua Plainfield
Madrid vs Lake Mills
AC/GC vs Saint Albert
Tri Center vs Wayne
MMC-RU vs Neman
Saint Ansgar vs North Tama
South Winn vs Bellevue
North Linn vs Columbus
Pekin vs Lynnville Sully
Mount Ayr vs Earlham
Riverside vs LoMa
Woodbury Central vs Sibley-Ocheyedan
Really other than Wayne at Tri Center these are all pretty reasonable and honestly Wayne is in the middle of nowhere. But you could go with Saint Albert to Madrid, Lake Mills to Wapsie, Starmont to Lisbon, Nashua Plainfield to West Hancock and HMS to Tri Center and then Wayne to AC/GC if you wanted to, but I think the overall travel is worse with that.
Predicted top 4 after next week
1 West Hancock
2. AC/GC
3. Saint Ansgar
4. Lisbon
My predicted pods would be
(1)West Hancock vs MMC-RU
(6)Gehlen vs (9)Riverside
(2)AC/GC vs Woodbury Central
(5)Tri Center vs Earlham
(3)Saint Ansgar vs Wapsie Valley
(8)Madrid vs (10)Pekin
(4) Lisbon vs North Linn
(7)Maquoketa Valley vs South Winn
These aren't perfect rankings wise or geographically, but kind of a balance, it was also surprising to me that Pekin is closer to Madrid then Maquoketa Valley, it's kind of on an island of the probable schools for the last 16.
