MHSAA Bracketology: D4 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
