I look at South O'Brien's losses, & I see they are to poor to mediocre teams.
Looking closer, they're all before Christmas & recent wins are against big-time opponents.

Maple Valley seems to have schedule of cupcakes & not many close games.
Wonder how they will react if they have to play from behind?

IF S O'Brien gets the lead, I expect them to hold it/pull away.

Strong start out of the gate by South O'Brien. SO showing why they dominated on the road to state, 11-4.

Good game with two evenly matched teams. Kuhlmann was a beast when he got the ball in the paint. South O'Brien just couldn't hit shots down the end and MVAO did.

The two first game winners looked like much better teams.
