Let me hear your potential upset choices for round 1. I know that there are some match ups in which the higher seed winning wouldn't really be thought of as an upset, but for the purposes of this post, let's stick with upsets by seeds only.
I think #20 St. Pauls 6-3 will take care of #13 Greene Central 9-1. I haven't been sold on GC all year, even with their 8-0 start. It's the subpar schedule for me, in which my school is a part of. They do have an outstanding defense though, but then again, is that because of the opponents? And although I'm not counting St Pauls as a world beater, I do believe that they are better than anyone that GC has played. And SP is coming off of consecutive state championship and eastern finals appearances. I think that experience will serve them well vs a team that is not accustomed to big games just yet.
I think #17 Eastern Wayne 6-4 takes down #16 Trask 7-3. I don't think Trask did anything wrong this season. It's just that EW's 4 losses came against teams with a combined 35-5 record. Those 4 teams were elite teams in the east this year. But then again, the teams that they beat were just terrible. They didn't play anyone that was just...good. Their opponents were wither terrible or elite, and they played it perfectly by beating the bad ones and losing to the great ones. Trask is good, so who knows how this will play out? My gut tells me EW.
And I'll go ahead and say it...I have #19 SW Edgecombe 4-6 over #14 Holmes 7-3.. We've done it before, as a #15, defeating #2 East Duplin, so why not again? Lol. I'm joking. There is no way we will be able to keep up with them offensively.
I don't know enough about the west to make predictions, but I can't wait to hear other opinions.
