Iowa high school girls’ basketball mock regional brackets, Take 2
Our second crack at projecting the 2021 girls’ basketball regional pairings.
The Iowa Girls High School Athletic Union plans to release the real pairings Feb. 4 in Class 3A, 2A and 1A, Feb. 11 in 5A and 4A.
In the meantime, chew on this:
Class 5A
(Note: In basketball, the IGHSAU has had a habit recently of a somewhat unconventional bracketing system in 5A, putting the 1 and 5 seeds in a bracket and 2-3-4 in the other. We will go that route this year, as well)
