Semifinals

2011 vs 1995
2026 vs 2022

As someone pointed out, the voting does seem to have a recency bias. However, these are still four outstanding championship games.

Quarterfinals: 2011 vs 1978 1977 vs 1995 2026 vs 1989 1969 vs 2022 There is a recency bias in the voting, which is too bad... We're any of the choices Class A? There haven been some good Class A finals... Yes, there are A LOT of good Class A Finals: so many that we decided to do a separate bracket ...

What a clown show by Tucker Johnson at the end of the game

Wasn't this scheduled for Wed night? Anyone know why is was moved to Thursday?

All the sections are now up!

Anyone else notice the state tournament schedule is different? The MSHSl website lists the 1/8 game as the 1st of the day followed by the 4/5 game with the 2/7 and 3/6 game in the late session.
