On Thursday classes C1-D2 will begin their playoffs and on Halloween night the 2008 Class A and B state football playoffs will begin.  (Does anybody else find it odd that the NSAA chose to start the Class A and B playoffs on Halloween night?)

Here are my picks:
Class A:
Title game: Omaha Creighton Prep over Millard South
Dark Horse: Elkhorn
Longshot pick: Millard South
Lincoln team with best shot: Lincoln NorthStar

Class B:
Title game: McCook over Lincoln Pius X

Longshot pick: Anybody on the west side of the bracket
Lincoln (area) team with the best shot: (other than Pius) Waverly

Class C1:
Title game: Hastings St. Cecilia over Boys Town
Dark horse: Grand Island Central Catholic
Longshot pick: Broken Bow
Lincoln (area) team with the best shot: Fairbury (a case could be made for Lincoln Lutheran cause they are in Lincoln, but 4-4 isn’t going to cut it. 

Class C2:
Title game: Elm Creek over Aquinas Catholic
Dark horse: Kearney Catholic or Camridge
Longshot pick: Ravenna
Lincoln (area) team with the best shot: Elmwood-Murdock (Lincoln Christian could have a case, but Murdock is the better choice)
