Greetings on this VHSL Region Championship Monday as we almost have the 2020 State Tournament bracket set for Boys and Girls Hoops. Pretty soon we'll be doing some Girls Hoops picks, too.
There are four regional titles on the line on Monday night and two more on Tuesday before State Quarterfinal action starts at supersites on Friday. Interestingly enough, on this particular night we have all chalk as No. 1 and No. 2 seeds are exclusively playing. That's not entirely the case across the board, nor is it for Tuesday. So any of those results wouldn't exactly be called an 'upset.'
Before we get to the selections, let's review the record so far and how we did on Saturday...
6C = 1-0
3A = 1-1 (missed on Petersburg/Phoebus)
3B = 0-1
3D = 1-0
2B = 1-0
2D - 1-0
1A = 0-1
1B = 1-0
1C = 0-1
1D = 1-0
Saturday's Record: 7-4 (.636)
Total Record thru February: 150-37 (.802)
