I guess I'll throw my hat into the proverbial ring of picking the state tournament games. Gary Jones had his state championship picks before the tournament ever started and Paul Kingsbury went day-by-day. That only leaves me one option: to cheat/slack off and pick games only on Saturday.
It's been a great tournament thus far with lots of fun atmospheres and fantastic games. Thanks to everyone who has come and said hello to us broadcasters and also to all of you who have tuned into the games throughout the weekend.
First off, let me say that I have no rooting interest in any team. I'm not from Idaho originally and don't have a bias towards a team. So if I happened to pick against your team, don't take it personally. This is all just for fun! I like to think of it as a nice addition to the great showcase that our high school kids have put on for us this weekend.
Let's dive into this:
Class 5A

3rd Place - Highland over Mountain View
Championship - Borah over Rocky Mountain

3rd Place - Skyview over Twin Falls

Good luck to all the teams out there! Play with class and grace!
