Editor’s note: We will not be doing rankings this week, as we feel like rankings are useless once the playoffs start. Our four full-time writers will be picking the closest matchups in each region from each division in each classification. Here are our picks for 2A Division 1.
Region 1
Stratford – II
Post – II
Advantage: Push
Reasoning: Stratford’s lone loss of the season was to Canadian, but we felt like Post has a strong offense that can make this a closer game than anyone might think.
Region 2
Mart– IIII
Seymour –
Advantage: Mart, 4 votes to 0
Reasoning: Mart is simply playing too well right now. Seymour is good, but they just aren’t on Mart’s level yet.
Region 3
Cayuga – I
Price Carlisle – III
Advantage: Price Carlisle 3 picks to 1
Reasoning: It’s hard to beat the same team twice in the same year. However, Price Carlisle is not your average team.
Region 4
Mason – I
Shiner – III
Advantage: Shiner, 3 votes to 1
Reasoning: Mason has been on fire lately, pummeling weaker opponents. Shiner has player stronger opponents closer, and is more battle-tested than their opponents.
