[Case I H]

Bracket B is super tough. Don Bosco gets a cakewalk to the Dome. Imagine that

 

[high90school]

Bracket B will be absolutely BRUTAL to whoever wins that. 3 teams that many had in their top 4 or 5 prior to week 8 and Newell finishing in the top 8 of the RPI. Looking ahead though, there are some potential excellent rematches set up in the quarters in every bracket. Don't think the state got the bracket correct but I do feel they did set up some excellent games prior to reaching Cedar Falls!
