I have to agree Holiday. Norton should benefit from an easier regional than they are used to attending. Goodland is the only other deep team attending the Ellis regional. That should allow Norton and Goodland to qualify more kids than on a normal northwest regional year. I would guess Norton to get around 10 kids(if healthy) and Goodland around 8. Beloit, S.C., P-burg, Ellsworth,P-Ville, Hoisington, & Osborne all attend the Beloit regional. Should see the most state placers come from this regional with the Ellis regional 2nd. However S.C. should still get 8 to 10 with a good tourney, P-Ville & P-Burg around 6. I know P-Burg has some banged up kids (could be more), Osborne 4 or 5. Point is Norton, S.C., Beloit, & Goodland will all qualify a good number of kids. It will come down to champions and backside on Sat. I would agree with the teams in the top 10, but maybe not the order. I believe it is S.C. to defend this year and could see Norton, Beloit, & Goodland all right there. Should be as close of a top 4 finish as we have seen in a while.
