It’s that time of year again. Playoffs are right around the corner with the division tournaments starting this week. Here is a sample of some of the games we can see in the playoffs. These projections are from the current MaxPreps class rankings. I am seeding and advancing the better ranked teams according to the current MaxPreps class rankings on Saturday February 1st.
