DeCourcy's bracket:  342 points

Lunardi's bracket:  336 points

Palm's bracket:  323 points

---------------------------------------------

USPS's bracket:  336 points

My bracket:  322 points

Last season USPS's bracket I believe beat all three of them.  I'm still learning.  322 isn't real good but believe I had 308 last year.

 

My love for the MWC made me tie Lunardi. 
 

Not bad for a mailman that wasn’t able to scrub as much as some of these that get to do it for a living

Way back in the day, Randolph County used to have like 20+ high schools -- all probably under 100 students each -- County tournament looked like that bracket.

A lot of places did. My small town had about 4-5. In the 70s Indiana went through consolidation state-wide which led to the single class set-up until the 90’s when they went multi-class. In many ways that consolidation led to the breakup of the single class system 20 some years later as some of those consolidated schools got pretty big.
