This region i think would be a hard one to pick, because there are a lot of good teams.
What do you think?

Anything can happen, but from the latest action, it looks as if Grafton is too deep and too talented compared to the rest of the Region 2 teams this year (They're avg winning margin is 31!). One thing to look at though, Grafton beat DP and FLPR on their home court. THings could be very different at the Betty later this year. If there's anything I've learned watching class B, is that tournament time brings out the best in every team, and I doubt we''ve seen the best yet.
Grafton looked to have met their match in the first half of the DP game Saturday, down 7 at HT. But outscored DP 22-2 in the third.
FLPR is struggling to get offense right now, too 1 dimensional. They've played 2 very good teams in a row now and will have to get much better if they want to challenge for the region title IMO.
Hillsboro had to fight to squeak by a 1pt win over Hatton-Northwood, which leads me to believe they
will have a tought time w/Grafton if they were to meet in the regional tournament.

I saw the Grafton/DP game and I was not concerned at halftime. Coach S. sat Katie Houdek down with 2 fouls in the second quarter and when she is not in the line-up things don't go as smoothly for Grafton. When she got back into the line-up in the third quarter things immediately changed. Grafton is the team to beat in Region 2.

IMO - Hillsboro "squeaking by" Hatton Northwood was more Hillsboro starting uncharacteristically "off" but having the heart to come back and win. Northern Cass handled Hatton Northwood last night. And we remember Hillsboro handling Northern Cass. Possible that the Hatton Northwood "threat" has diminished. The fact that Grafton can sit down one player and affect the game is unfortunate for them. Lots of District games before regionals. Enjoy!!.

Hillsboro suffered a loss in that game - Joelle Evenson tore her ACL in that game and will have surgery. Hillsboro has players to step in, but they will miss her court presence and smarts. A thin bench gets even thinner....
