What up Mississippi -

So it's here, the state tournament at the BIG HOUSE, and as always the competition will be fierce and the action intense. Here are my picks for the High School version of the Big Dance:

5A Boys - Provine. Luther Riley's club is too good, and so is the guy going to U-CONN! Scottie Haralson can play. Wingfield is good, but the Rams are better.

4A Boys - Vicksburg. A bit of an underdog most of the season... they beat Lanier twice this year and are primed to take a Gator bite out of the competition

3A Boys - Aberdeen. At 33-3 coming in... the record speaks for itself.

2A Boys - I'm going with Newton here. Why? They've won 24 in a row.

1A Boys - Myrtle. The 1-A runners-up from a year ago take home the hardware in '08.

So who do you pick? Be bold or go home. Let us hear from you!
