SMC too tough. Now I would agree in most years, but Murphy is the only team in SMC that could even be in a game with Mtn. Heritage in the WHC this year. So I would say Mitchell has played 2 better teams in Erwin and Heritage than Murphy has even seen this year.
I think both conferences as a whole are down some, but I believe we still have 3 teams in the 3rd round playing and SMC has 2. Post has no validity this year.
May be 3 in the 3rd round but there will be 2 smc teams in the 4th round
