Continue ReadingPlayoffs are finally here and we are ready to rock and roll! I am super pumped to see all of the great games throughout this year’s playoffs. Today, we will be going over Round 1 of the playoffs and briefly discussing each game, while making predictions. We will do this for all games/each round for 6A, 5A, and 4A.
Top of Bracket:
1 Desert Vista vs 16 Valley Vista
I think DV takes this one pretty easily. The DV team is super deep and super talented.
Prediction: Desert Vista wins 20+
8 Cesar Chavez vs 9 Basha
I think this could be the first “upset”. I think Basha will come to play and take home the W.
Prediction: Basha wins by 5
5 Brophy Prep vs 12 Perry
I think Brophy wins this one. While I think Perry could potentially upset them, I still am going to give the W to Brophy in a closer game.
Prediction: Brophy wins by 8
4 Skyline vs 13 Corona del Sol
I think Skyline comes out and makes a huge statement and wins big!
Prediction: Skyline wins 20+
Bottom of Bracket:
3 Highland vs 14 Pinnacle
I don’t think Pinnacle has the depth to upset Highland. Highland is very battle tested and ready for the playoffs.
Prediction: Highland wins by 12
6 La Joya vs 11 Mountain Pointe
I think this could be a really competitive game and wouldn’t be shocked if Mountain Pointe pulls out the win. However, I think La Joya wins a close game.
Prediction: La Joya wins by 10
7 Chandler vs 10 Desert Ridge
I’m going to take Chandler in this one. I really like their team. They have a lot of offensive firepower and I think it’ll be too much for DR.
Prediction: Chandler wins by 14
2 Hamilton vs 15 Tucson
Tucson is a really scrappy team and I think they will challenge Hamilton early on. However, I think Hamilton will adjust and eventually win the game in the second half.
Prediction: Hamilton wins by 14
