1A- Gladbrook Reinbeck- It seems as though they have found a new gear in the post season and the scariest thing is they were undefeated during the regular season. Some teams have that we won't lose mentality and I think this team is one of them. Last two games they have scored 51-14 and 50-21 at half. Danville has that fire power as well, but GR has more size and that is more important in high school basketball than having shooters.
2A- New Hampton or Western Christian- If Kreiner was still at New Hampton... Good Luck! I do think that this field is more open than people realize. Treynor, Forest City, AP, Cascade, Monticello, Regina, IKM-Manning, Pella Christian, and DM Christian are all good teams as well. On a give night Woodward Academy can take a good team out with its scoring ability from Dontre English and Ivan Johnson.
3A- Again this is open, but I think 3 teams stand above currently and 5 teams on the verge. Wahlert, WSR, and Pella currently look like the cream. Xavier, Assumption, LeMars, Spirit Lake, and Williamsburg.
4A- IC West. I think they can get challenged by the following teams. North Scott, DM Hoover, Pleasant Valley, Waukee, and Ankeny Centennial. Schon not playing for Centennial hurts the chances, but that is still a solid team.
