With the state tournament just around the corner I figured it was about time to do some predictions for the tournament. I'm going to be focusing on the two areas I follow closely, which is the top region of the D2 Sun Prairie regional which includes teams from the South Central and Badger North and also the D1 Waunakee sectional which is made up primarily of the Big Eight, Badger Conferences, and the Mississippi Valley. Today will be the D2 region and tomorrow will be D1.
First Round
(5) Prairie du Chien over (4) Mauston- Prairie is playing great right now, they just recently beat a top team from Iowa and also just beat River Valley who is the number one seed in the region.
(3) Portage over (6) Reedsburg- Portage has their leading scorer back and Reedsburg has been underachieving all year long.
(2) Wisconsin Dells over (7) Richland Center- Richland Center doesn't have a win yet this year and I don't think they will get it against the Dells.
Regional Semi Final
(1) River Valley over (5) Prairie du Chien- Yes Prairie did just defeat River Vally but, I don't think they will lose to them a second time within a week period.
(3) Portage over (2) Wisconsin Dells- Dells beat Portage this year but, that was without Portage's best player who is back now. The game was close the first time so with their top guy back Portage should have the edge.
Regional Final
(3) Portage over (1) River Valley- River Valley has been struggling a bit as of late and Portage comes out of tough conference in the Badger North which has a couple pretty good D1 teams.
Well there are my predictions for the Wisconsin Dells regional and will probably get some criticism for choosing Portage over WD but, I just think Portage is peaking at the right time.
