As the playoffs get ready to start this week, here is Publisher Joshua Wilson’s projected bracket for Class 5A.
This could be the easiest bracket to project of all the classifications. Looking at Class 5A North, arguably Rickards and Baker County could have the best paths to get to Orlando. However, to be honest it is wide open as to who will really emerge from the North. Looking at the South, it looks like it could be no contest here as American Heritage stands out from the rest of the teams. Pretty easy to say it no matter who comes from the North, they are going to find it tough to get past American Heritage. For this, I take Baker County to get to Orlando, but ultimately seeing American Heritage winning it all.
