Ordered from toughest to easiest IMO

Region 6 - Best & Toughest Region. Solid games every night.
Region 7 - should be a fun super regional...4 solid teams
Region 3 - most balanced region...solid games each night (especially starting in the semis)
Region 1 - Milnor will be pushed by all District 2 teams
Region 4 - 3 solid teams and as we saw in districts an upset could happen
Region 8 - 3 team race but New Town is favorite
Region 2 - probably the 2nd easiest region...but teams are starting to keep games close with Cavalier
Region 5 - two team race between Flasher & Shiloh

I don't see anyone else but FWM coming out of Region 4. St. John played poorly at districts, but they could get back on track this week and have a good tournament. I could also see them getting bounced by NRS in the first round as they have been playing well lately. Northstar is always up there, but with their lack of depth I can't see them upsetting the Indians especially with the easy road FWM has to the championship.

Region 6 - clearly the best region in the state. 4 great teams and 4 good teams. Rugby and DLB will be pushed, but I believe it'll be Rugby over DLB in the ship.
Region 3 - This will be the most interesting region tourney as many teams have a shot at making it to the "B" this year. I'd say Lamoure is the favorite right now.
Region 1 - This will be a very interesting tourney as well... As the #2 and #3 ranked teams in the state are on the same side of the bracket. Milnor is probably the favorite followed by (in order) Oak Grove, Kindred, and Enderlin.
Region 7 - 4 team race.. Don't really see any upsets in the making in this region. I don't think there is a clear favorite.
Region 4 - don't know much about this region...
Region 8 - New Town is the favorite. There are a couple teams who could upset them though.
Region 5 - Shiloh and Flasher.
Region 2 - definitely the easiest region. Cavalier won't really be challenged. There are a few teams like Grafton that could give them a scare, but Cavalier will take the region.

Region 6- Loaded with 5 solid teams. One or two great state teams will be left behind here. Bad deal kinda.
Region 1- Milnor, Oak Grove, Kindred
Region 4- Four Winds, St. John, North Star, NR
Region 7- Beulah, Trinity, (New England??) Beulahs tough in post season games always mentally ready. Trinity at home court and coached well for region play.
Region 3-Linton, (Lamoure ?) I take Linton.
Region 5- Shiloh (Flasher ?) Shiloh takes over in post season games.
Region 2- Cavalier should handle it.
Region 8- New Town could roll thru.
Its too bad some regions have a few state bound worthy teams that wont make it but some fun region play to watch. High school basketball ya never know who will show up to finish it out.
