One more day of high school basketball... and it's the best day of the year.
SUPER SATURDAY!
Today is the day that we bring out the hardware across the Treasure Valley and see which schools will proudly take it home.
We've had some great matchups in the tournament thus and some upsets as well. It's everything you would expect at the Real Dairy Shootout.
I hope that you all can attend these games in person today. But, if not, we've got you covered here on IdahoSports.com.
Here's a breakdown of how many championships can be won by each district in today's state title tilts:
District I - 1 (Post Falls)
District II - 1 (Lapwai or Prairie)
District III - 1 (Bishop Kelly)
District IV - 2 (Buhl, Carey)
District V - 3 (Highland, Soda Springs, Rockland)
District VI - 3 (Rigby, South Fremont, Firth)
The breakdown of how many third place trophies can be won by each district:
District I - 1 (St. Maries)
District II - 0
District III - 3 (Borah or Capital, Mountain Home, Weiser)
District IV - 3 (Twin Falls, Oakley or Valley, Dietrich)
District V - 0
District VI - 3 (Shelley, West Jefferson, Mackay)
And finally, the breakdown of how many consolation trophies that can be won by each district:
District I - 1 (Kellogg)
District II - 2 (Grangeville, Logos)
District III - 4 (Rocky Mountain, Fruitland, Liberty Charter or Ambrose, Council)
District IV - 2 (Burley, Declo)
District V - 1 (Century)
District VI - 1 (Skyline)
In recap of my previous picks, I went 21/24 on Day 1 and 19/24 on Day 2. Super Saturday is ALWAYS the hardest to choose winners and I don't see this year being any different.
With that, if I pick against your team, I'm sorry. I'm truly sorry. But hey, if I'm wrong, it's all good.

One more final note: ALL of these games were very difficult to choose... I really do truly feel that they go all go one way or the other. Hopefully that means we have 18 nailbiter, down-to-the-wire games today.
Good luck to all of the remaining teams in the tournament. Let's finish the 2014-15 basketball season with a BANG!
