The Favorite
Charleston Lady Trojans are still undefeated (28-0)and come into regional play as the favorites. They have been dominating their last several outings. Sophomore Phenomenal Shae Littleford has been incredible this season leading Charleston in scoring and recently passing the 1,000 point threshold. She is a huge part of their offense with a high usage and she also averages a team-high 23.6 ppg.
The Dark Horse
Champaign Lady Maroons have the most impressive strength of schedule in this bracket already having wins against Rantoul, Urbana, and Mahomet. The Maroons have a youthful talent with outstanding talent that includes Junior Star Guard Chanice Willis. The fascinating part for the Maroons believes they have not played their best basketball and will look to hit their stride in the postseason.
Predictions
My predictions are Central defeats Rantoul
Clinton defeats Mahomet
Central defeats Urbana
Charleston defeats Clinton
Charleston faces off against Central in the Championship game in a classic game.
