Marissa vs Freeburg
Red Bud vs CORL
Wesclin vs Father McGivney
Sparta vs Columbia

If the seeds hold up you could see some very interesting matchups in the final 4. Piasa, the 4 seed would be facing Greenville, the 1 seed. On the other side of the bracket Columbia, the 2 seed would be facing CORL, the 3 seed. We could have a rematch of the Columbia tourney championship game. In that game Greenville beat Columbia 50-42.

The top unsigned seniors would be Bonaldi, Emily and Abagail Reinneck, Oliver and Cockrell. Hallemann, the 6’4 post from Greenville, has the highest ceiling of all the prospects. She needs to add strength but has a nice shot and a natural ability to block shots. Eichenlaub also provides length and potential. She is 6’1 and a lefty. She has the ability to finish with either hand in the post. With some work she shows potential to be able to play away from the basket as a face up stretch 4. Oliver and Pickett are both excellent shooters. The Reinneck twins both have a college ready body and have worked hard in the weight room. They are going to be excellent defenders that come from a good program.
There is plenty of untapped young talent in these small schools. With some work there are many girls that could be a good small school fit.
