NOTES: CHARLESTON WILL ENTER DISTRICT PLAY AS HEAVY FAVORITES. THE BLUE JAYS ARE RANKED THIRD IN CLASS 3 AND FEATURE A LINEUP NEARLY IDENTICAL TO THE ONE WHICH HELPED THEM ADVANCE TO THE FINAL FOUR LAST YEAR. SCOTT CITY HAS HAD A STRONG SEASON UNDER FIRST-YEAR COACH LANCE AMICK, BUT WILL HAVE TO COUNT ON THE OUTSIDE SHOOTING OF JEREMY SCHLOSSER AND MARK DANNENMUELLER IN ORDER TO UPSET CHARLESTON. BLOOMFIELD AND KELLY HAVE SHOWN FLASHES THIS SEASON AND COULD PROVIDE BUMPS IN THE ROAD FOR THE TWO TOP-RANKED TEAMS.
