Thoughts: This tournament has been going on for a while but this season should be one of the most competitive seasons they have had. Every team should be able to compete with Castle being one of the best in the state. Gibson Southern and Mt. Carmel have a ton of size to compete with Castle’s Nunge.
Wood Memorial is going to be really good at 1A this year and Princeton has a pair of bigs that can compete with most teams in the state. North Posey could struggle a bit but they have a lot of young talent that could shine through.
The best first round matchup right now on paper has to be Castle and Gibson Southern with Mt. Carmel and Wood Memorial being a close second. The amount of legit size in this even is amazing and for college coaches it could be a nice stop on the last day of the even to get a look at every team.
