Sub-state predictions

Here it is, semifinal weekend, the final four in each classification remain. We did a little better with our picks last week, but still struggled more than a season ago. Even so, we'll take another stab at ranking the Top 5 in each class and guessing the winners of each semifinal. As always, good luck to each of the final four teams in each classification. Win or lose, what an incredible accomplishment to make it this far.

The asterisk (*) indicates our prediction of which of the two games in each classification will be the closest.

Class 6A
