District Playoff Preview and Predictions


Jack Harvey will be a difference maker for North Branch come playoff time.

Woah Nelly...the playoffs are here!!!

It happened so fast...the team hoodies were being handed out and the schedule was finalized. We all blinked and the playoffs are here for all non-AA teams. Depending on the district, playoffs end and Region bids are handed out this Sunday and others last throughout both weekends. 

YHH will be covering District playoffs with our normal passion. This weekend we plan to see several games, especially ones with Regional significance. We will be in Virginia and Hibbing to see the PeeWee playoffs in District 12. We will also be all over the Metro to see who lives another day toward Regions. 

The following are the 32 teams we project to make it out of District play into the Regional playoffs. Over the next two weekends we will find out the teams that were hungry and the one's that were starving. We make special notice of the teams throughout MN that we think could be dangerous...put some Caution Tape around these guys.
