Class C 8 man playoff predictions
Posted: Sat Oct 31, 2020 8:11 am
The Class C 8 man playoffs begin in 5 hours. Here are my predictions. It is obviously a total crapshoot at this point in time, as most of these teams have not yet crossed over and played anyone outside of their own conference. Your thoughts?
Fort Benton over St Ignatius by 18 : The Longhorns have a lot of weapons if they spread out the ball.
Joliet over Westby/Grenora by 14 : Joliet beat Shelby handily early in the season. I think the real question is, “how tough is the east this year?”
Drummond/Phillipsburg over Belt by 14 : Two extremely well coached teams, each with a superstar. This one could be interesting. Flint Creek might have more depth.
Fairview over Ennis by 36 : Even though Fairview lost a ton of seniors last year, I still think they roll in this one.
Park City over Ekalaka by 24 : Park city beat Joliet a few weeks ago. They were also very good last year. I don’t think they are seriously challenged in this one
Alberton/Superior over Shelby by 16 : This is an interesting matchup. Due to Covid, Shelby hasn’t played in several weeks. They clearly have talent, Alberton/Superior has played very well in what appears to be a powerful Western division.
Scobey over Cascade by 22 : Scobey is loaded with athletes. They have to be the clear favorite to win the class C basketball title this winter. In last year‘s 8-man playoffs, however, Belt travelled to Scobey and beat them handily. Cascade is much improved over the past years, but I think Scobey has too much.
Thompson Falls over Simms by 12 : I think that this game could potentially be close. Simms is big and hard nosed. They might be over matched offensively though.
Fort Benton over St Ignatius by 18 : The Longhorns have a lot of weapons if they spread out the ball.
Joliet over Westby/Grenora by 14 : Joliet beat Shelby handily early in the season. I think the real question is, “how tough is the east this year?”
