Forecasting the 2017 Boys Basketball Sub Districts

Forecasting the Boys Basketball Sub Districts

by Bobby Mills (1000 Yard Guy)

It sounds like a broken record every year this time rolls around. Where has the season gone? It always seems like the hoops season flies by once the calendar flips to the new year. How can that be when the prep basketball has 2 months to go?

Dunno.

The time has arrived to peer into the crystal ball and take a stab at how the Boys Sub Districts will play out, who will emerge as winners from the subsequent District Finals, and finally setting the State Tournament fields.
