Everyone is looking forward to a possible upper bracket finals matchup between Anna and Arcanum. The Rockets advanced to the state final four last season before being shut down and always play a solid defensive game. Arcanum has plenty of firepower with Unger, Fearon and Gray.

Tournament Thoughts
I have always said it is no fun to have to play Versailles in the tournament, as they seem to always heat up around February. They are the #6 seed, the lowest they have been in a while, but have a chance to put together a run into the districts.
