So I did my best percentage-wise last week. I was 20-4 in the regional finals (83-percent of the games right). Have to admit I finally got Drew Pasteur and his Fantastic 50 formula too (finished 18-6).
Feels good. But another tough week looms. There are several games that could swing either way on one play.
The Top 5 games in order of predicting difficulty? I say…
1. Pickerington Central vs St. Xavier
2. Whitmer vs St. Ignatius
3. Delphos St. John’s vs Marion Local
4. Chagrin Falls vs Youngstown Mooney
5. Aurora vs Avon
Anyway…here goes again. Here’s who I see making the state finals…
