Magnolia Hoops Preseason 5A Playoff Projections

Here is a preview of some games that we might be able to look forward to in the playoffs. Keep in mind that I’m not close to getting them right but I will get a few of the projections. If you think your team is better than I have the team slotted ahead of you then simply put your team name in that place and that might be your road to the gold ball. A lot of these predictions can also change by the locations of the quarterfinals in each class. Remember, the best team doesn’t always win, some take the better path.
