My Red reply guess lost with Bixby, but in my defense, I didn’t see the regional teams.    #homertrumpshumor

Any hope for Blanche Ely to keep the score close for a quarter and a half before the slaughter starts?

I assume the higher seed STA hosts?  

Friday night forecast looks fine.  
I doubt it.   

This poll Blue Star 1-8 (STA inclusion stalls any top 25 review to me) looks solid imo.  Not a clue about this source, but not sure one can have a better 1-8 (perhaps in diff order, but solid top 8 imo).
