District 1
1. West Lyon
2. CL/GLR
3. Western Christian
4. Cherokee

2/3/4 Comes down to points, I believe that even with a 17 point loss CL/GLR still takes the 2 spot, and Western Christian is ahead right now in the points over Cherokee.

District 2
1. Spirit Lake
2. Okoboji
3. Forest City
4. ELC

ELC vs GHV for the final spot this week. Technically it could become a 3 way tie for first if Forest City beat Spirit Lake but I still think it would be this order.

District 3
1. North Fayette Valley
2. Osage
3. Crestwood
4. Waukon

Waukon vs New Hampton for the 4th spot this week.

District 4
1. Northeast Goose Lake
2. West Liberty
3. Anamosa
4. Monticello

It will probably be a 3 way tie for 2/3/4 but I think once the dust settles this will be the way the points will finish.

District 5
1. Mid Prairie
2. West Burlington
3. Mediapolis
4. Albia

As long as Mediapolis beats Central Lee this is the way that it will finish. It could come down to points if the Hawks win.

District 6
1. PCM
2. West Marshall
3. Jesup
4. Union

3/4 should come down to points, if Jesup takes care of business and PCM and West Marshall take care of business, then this is how it finishes.

District 7
1. Van Meter
2. Clarinda
3. Centerville
4. Chariton

Centerville vs Clarinda for the second spot.

District 8
1. Kuemper
2. Roland Story
3. DSM Christian
4. Greene County

Greene County vs DSM Christian for the 3/4

Predicted matchups

West Lyon vs ELC
Spirit Lake vs Cherokee
NFV vs Union
Northeast vs Waukon
Mid Prairie vs Monticello
PCM vs Albia
Van Meter vs Greene County
Kuemper vs Chariton

CL/GLR vs Forest City
Okoboji vs Western Christian
Osage vs Jesup
West Liberty vs Mediapolis
West Burlington vs Centerville
West Marshall vs Anamosa
Clarinda vs DSM Christian
Roland Story vs Crestwood

Predicted Pods : It wouldn't surprise me if all of the sudden Northeast jumped up to #4 next week to make things easier on the state.

West Lyon vs Western Christian
NFV vs Roland Story

PCM vs Jesup
Mid Prairie vs West Liberty

Spirit Lake vs Des Moines Christian
Kuemper vs CL/GLR

Van Meter vs West Marshall
Northeast vs West Burlington

Current Rankings

1. West Hancock
2. AC/GC
3. Saint Ansgar
4. Lisbon
5. Tri Center
6. Gehlen
7. Maquoketa Valley
8. Pekin
9. Riverside
10. North Linn

So if all of these teams won out, taking rankings and geography into account. I think we would get pairings like this for the second round.

West Hancock vs MMC-RU
Gehlen vs Riverside

AC/GC vs Woodbury Central
Tri Center vs Earlham

Saint Ansgar vs Wapsie Valley
Madrid vs Pekin

Lisbon vs North Linn
Maquoketa Valley vs Nashua Plainfield

This is of course assuming that these are the teams. Gehlen is kind of an island and being #6 I think that the state would send them to the #1 if it is the closest. AC/GC vs Tri Center would be 2 vs 5 and again geographically it makes sense. Saint Ansgar is probably going to have to go to Wapsie in the second round, I see Wapsie as the weakest district champ in the area, and then get the winner of Madrid Pekin where Pekin is #8 and Madrid is currently unranked. It is a long haul, but Maq Valley is ranked ahead of Pekin and Madrid so I think they would get paired with Lisbon, and Madrid and Maq Valley essentially would have the same travel time to get to Saint Ansgar, Pekin would be a haul.

I will also say that in the 2/3 matchups I think that Underwood, NW Webster, Alburnett, Sumner Fred and Pleasantville are all capable of winning.

I'd say this looks pretty accurate and I agree with your predictions. If Wilton does indeed beat Regina this Friday, then I think you're spot on. Thanks for doing this PNation (saves us the time of having to look everything up). 👍

My thoughts after week 7

District 1
1. OABCIG
2. Hinton
3. Ridge View
4. West Sioux

This will likely come down to points which OABCIG has an advantage in with game with Lawton Bronson this week so they should maintain this. Hinton has the second advantage, but if they would happen to lose to West Sioux or not win by much Ridge View could pass them, and of course if they would lose they would fall to 4. But I think that this is how it will finish.

District 2
1. Emmetsburg
2. NW Webster
3. Sioux Central
4. East Sac

Emmetsburg vs NW Webster for 1/2 and Sioux Central vs East Sac for 3/4 this week.

District 3
1. DNH
2. MFL Mar-Mac
3. Sumner Fred
4. Aplington Parkersburg

Same as last week.

District 4
1. Grundy Center
2. South Hardin
3. Alburnett
4. Hudson

Hudson did give South Hardin a better game then I thought they might, so maybe they got some kids back, but I believe that these are set.

District 5
1. Wilton
2. Beckman
3. Regina
4. West Branch

With a Wilton win it is very easy these are the standings. With a Regina win it comes down to points, if Regina wins by 17 they are the champs and Wilton is 2, anything less Wilton is the champ, and Regina could easily fall to 3 with a close win. Although I could see Cascade keeping it within 17 against Beckman.

District 6
1. Sigourney Keota
2. Pleasantville
3. Pella Christian
4. EBF

No changes

District 7
1. Woodward Granger
2. South Hamilton
3. Ogden
4. Grandview Christian

Top 2 are set, Ogden has Nodaway Valley so that should be a win to move them into 3 and Grandview beat WCV so they get the 4.

District 8
1. Treynor
2. AHSTW
3. Underwood
4. Shenandoah

I believe that these are set in stone.

First Round Matchups

OABCIG vs Shenandoah
DNH vs East Sac
Emmetsburg vs West Sioux
Grundy Center vs West Branch
Wilton vs Hudson
Sigourney Keota vs AP
Woodward Granger vs EBF
Treynor vs Grandview Christian

Hinton vs Underwood
NW Webster vs Ridge View
MFL Mar Mac vs Alburnett
South Hardin vs Pella Christian
Beckman vs Sumner Fred
Pleasantville vs Regina
South Hamilton vs Sioux Central
AHSTW vs Ogden

Predicted Top 4 at the End of the Season
1. Grundy Center
2. Dike New Hartford
3. Emmetsburg
4. Wilton

Predicted 2nd Round and Quarterfinal Pods

Grundy Center vs South Hamilton
OABCIG vs AHSTW

Dike New Hartford vs Beckman

Sigourney Keota vs Regina

Ha! The BS was all his.

He will come back with a vengeance when he feels like it.

Agree or disagree with him, it will be entertaining as always.

He's good. I was giving him hell Saturday about the end of the first half of the bammer game. He brought up 4th and 31.

He posted something on FB a day or so ago. I think he's good.

If someone knocks on your door wearing one, ffs don't open the door unless you armed.
