MHSAA Bracketology: D2 Predictions

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>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. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://www.mhsaa.com/sports/girls-basketball/brackets/new?division=2&amp;year=2025-26">MHSAA D2 Bracket</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">District Winners</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>District 33: <strong>Negaunee</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>District 34: <strong>Petoskey</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>District 35: <strong>Big Rapids</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>District 36: <strong>Standish-Sterling</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>District 37: <strong>Freeland</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>District 38: <strong>Frankenmuth</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>District 39: <strong>Flint Powers Catholic</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>District 40: <strong>Portland</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>District 41: <strong>Sparta</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>District 42: <strong>Spring Lake</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>District 43: <strong>Grand Rapids West Catholic</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>District 44: <strong>Grand Rapids Catholic Central</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>District 45: <strong>Grand Rapids South Christian</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>District 46: <strong>Otsego</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>District 47: <strong>Berrian Springs</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>District 48: <strong>Plainwell</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>District 49: <strong>Haslett</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>District 50: <strong>Ann Arbor Fa.
