Both Millennium and Desert Mountain had very impressive wins in the first round, both easily winning their games. I really like the guard duo for Desert Mountain and they can get hot in an instant and change a game. However, I think Millennium is just too deep for Desert Mountain.
Prediction: Millennium wins by 20
4 Gilbert vs 5 Verrado
This seems like a tougher game to predict. Both teams have turned in great seasons and deserve to be at this point. I think I’m going to believe in Gilbert, as they have proven us all wrong this season and more than exceeded anyone’s expectations.
Prediction: Gilbert wins by 12
3 Cactus Shadows vs 6 Buena
I think this game is going to be all Cactus Shadows. I believe in their team and their coaching. Cactus Shadows has proven themselves as legit contenders and I don’t think their journey ends here.
Prediction: Cactus Shadows wins by 8
2 Sunrise Mountain vs 7 Casteel
This is probably the marquee matchup of the quarterfinals, in my opinion. You got SM who’s seemingly come out of nowhere and solidified themselves as contenders. In the other corner, you got Casteel, a team who was looked at as the second overall team in 5A during preseason. However, injuries set them back a bit. I think this game is actually going to be very close in score. However, I believe Casteel will pull off the upset.
Prediction: Casteel wins by 2
