Staying in Area I for both of my games to watch on the first day of area play. Tough turn around for these teams with only one day off between regional and area play. It will be interesting to see how teams coming off of a loss in the regional final fare against those with a little momentum coming off a regional consolation bracket win.
Pawnee v. Merritt - two unranked teams who have been playing like top 20 teams of late. Pawnee has been very dangerous with Gordon back off of his 2nd knee injury. The Bears played with out him for all but 4 games of the regular season. With him back they are very dangerous. Merritt has been playing solid basketball in the playoffs with a win over #8 Watonga and a tough loss in OT v. #9 Hooker. They are very balanced and have solid parts everywhere.
#10 Amber-Pocasset v. #8 Watonga - two top 10 teams playing with their season on the line. AmPo beat Minco in regionals avenging two losses to the Bulldogs in the regular season. AmPo then gave Cashion a solid scare on Tuesday night in the regional final. Watonga battled conference rival Fairview on Tuesday afternoon and survived by hitting a last second three to move on to area.
