MHSAA 6A 1st Round

Schedule and Projections

Interesting 1st Round Games

Clinton (21-8) #11 travels 164 miles to Oxford (22-8) #25- This could’ve easily been a north half game but we get to see it early. Two of the top teams in 6A fell to upsets so here we go. Oxford is loaded with seniors that play very good at home. Clinton is loaded with young talent. One point might decide this one.

Petal (15-7) #15 travels 82 miles to St. Martin (17-11) #58-Petal has to hit the road to face a very good team in St. Martin. Coach Pavlus always has his guys playing so well together. I just hope he has another location picked out to play because Caleb McGill can destroy backboards and home court advantages.

Biggest Potential Upset According to MaxPreps Rankings

Oxford has a chance to knock off one of the top ten teams in the state early in the tournament.
