D1 Waunakee Sectional

The D1 Waunakee sectional is the sectional that I have followed the closes all year long and will probably will follow the closes throughout the playoffs. Madison Memorial is the favorite as usual but, this year Waunakee and Madison East are right there to challenge them and their will probably be a few upsets here and there.

Regional Quaterfinals
(1) Madison Memorial over (16) Monona Grove- Memorial has one lose while MG has only 4 wins, Memorial is the easy pick.

(8) Lacrosse Logan over (9) Sauk Prairie- Trevor Jorgenson is just too big and strong on the inside and gives Logan the edge.

(5) Lacrosse Central over (12) Watertown- Don't know much about Watertown but, Central is a much higher seed with a better record so I'll give them the win.

(4) Baraboo over (13) Madison West- West always seems to pull a few upsets come playoff time but, they just don't have the athletes or players that they've had in the past.

(2) Madison East over (15) Tomah- East is just way to go for Tomah here.

(10) Middleton over (7) Sun Prairie- Prairie just hasn't impressed me whenever I've seen them and I also give Middleton a coaching edge.

(6) Madison Lafollette over (11) Deforest- Lafollette's underachieved all year so wouldn't be completely surprised to see Deforest win but, I just think Lafollette is too quick for Deforest.

(3) Waunakee over (13) Holmen- Waunakee is playing great and Holmen just isn't very good.

Regional Finals
(1) Madison Memorial over (8) Lacrosse Logan- Mississippi Vally just can't compete with the tops of the Big Eight.

(5) Lacrosse Central over (4) Baraboo- Baraboo has been playing terrible as of late so will give it to Central.

(2) Madison East over (10) Middleton- Middleton will give them a game but, there is a reason why they were on opposite ends of the standings.

(3) Waunakee over (7) Madison Lafollette- If Lafollette shoots well there in this game but, like I said Waunakee is just playing too well right now.

Sectional Semifinals
(1) Madison Memorial over (5) Lacrosse Central- Once again Big Eight better then Mississippi Valley.

(2) Madison East over (3) Waunakee- This was the toughest game for me to pick. With Waunakee playing so well but, East just seems to always be able to pull it off.

Sectional Finals
(1) Madison Memorial over (2) Madison East- Memorial is determined to get to state this year and East won't be any match for this Memorial team.

Well I really didn't do much for predicting in this round since I went with the higher seeded team but, the higher seeded teams are just that much better.
