MHSAA Bracketology: D3 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=3&year=2025-26">MHSAA D3 Bracket</a>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">District Winners</h2>   District 65: Calumet   District 66: Menominee   District 67: Harbor Springs   District 68: Roscommon   District 69: Maple City Glen Lake   District 70: McBain   District 71: Beaverton   District 72: Morley Stanwood   District 73: Shelby   District 74: Kent City   District 75: Saugatuck   District 76: Saranac   District 77: Kalamazoo Christian   District 78: Bangor   District 79: Niles Brandywine   District 80: Schoolcraft   District 81: Jonesville   District 82: Jackson Lumen Christi   District 83: Brooklyn Columbia Central   District 84: Monroe St. Mary Catholic Central   District 85: Plymouth Christian Academy   District 86: Dearborn Heights Robichaud   District 87: Grosse Pointe Woods University Liggett   District 88: Rochester Hills Lutheran Northwest   District 89: Sandusky   District 90: Cass City   District 91: Millington   District 92: Genesee   District 93: New Lothrop   District 94: Pewamo-Westphalia   District 95: Bath   District 96: Stockbridge   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Regional Winners</h2>   Region 17: Roscommon   Region 18: McBain   Region 19: Shelby   Region 20: Niles Brandywine   Region 21: Jackson Lumen Christi   Region 22: Rochester Hills Lutheran Northwest   Region 23: Cass City   Region 24: Pewamo-Westphalia   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Quarterfinal Winners</h2>   Quarterfinal 9: McBain   Quarterfinal 10: Niles Brandywine   Quarterfinal 11: Jackson Lumen Christi   Quarterfinal 12: Pewamo-Westphalia   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Semifinal Winners</h2>   Semifinal 5: McBain   Semifinal 6: Jackson Lumen Christi   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">State Champion</h2>   Jackson Lumen Christi
