MHSAA Bracketology: D2 Predictions

Who doesn't love an impossible challenge? I remember filling out many ESPN March Madness NCAA brackets as a teenager, hoping to pick the winner from every region. Regardless of the inevitable truth that my bracket would be busted, I always enjoyed the excitement of trying to predict the winners and losers with 100% accuracy. Who says the fun has to be limited to college basketball? Since 2022, I have enjoyed the annual tradition of printing out an MHSAA State Tournament bracket and picking the winners for each division. The games won't be won on paper, but I still love the challenge of predicting how the postseason tournament will play out. I've attached a link to the MHSAA blank bracket for those who wish to join in the fun, and shared my projected winners from each round of the tournament.   <a href="https://www.mhsaa.com/sports/girls-basketball/brackets/new?division=2&year=2025-26">MHSAA D2 Bracket</a>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">District Winners</h2>   District 33: Negaunee   District 34: Petoskey   District 35: Big Rapids   District 36: Standish-Sterling   District 37: Freeland   District 38: Frankenmuth   District 39: Flint Powers Catholic   District 40: Portland   District 41: Sparta   District 42: Spring Lake   District 43: Grand Rapids West Catholic   District 44: Grand Rapids Catholic Central   District 45: Grand Rapids South Christian   District 46: Otsego   District 47: Berrian Springs   District 48: Plainwell   District 49: Haslett   District 50: Ann Arbor Fa.
