Competing in the second tier of the Midwest Championships are a lot of familiar teams:
Wisconsin's Vernon on one side of the bracket against Michigan's Berkley, taking on the winner of the Noblesville, Indiana and St Joseph's B-side match. Vernon, Berkley, and Noblesville all competed in the top tier at one point, although it's been years since that's been the case.
The other side of the bracket features newcomer Bishop Dwenger high school against Michigan's Livingston, another repeat competitor. Lakeview, Michigan rounds out this side of the tournament against DSHA's JV team. Lakeview has been at numerous Midwest Tournaments and they continue Michigan's strong tradition of sending multiple teams to the event. DSHA has an especially strong JV team this year and it'll be interesting to see how they compete against the top sides from other schools.
Wisconsin teams have had a run for the last number of years of winning both sides of the second-tier brackets and meeting in the final. With Wisconsin's #3 team moving up to the top tier as a result, it'll be interesting to see how Vernon and DS stack up, especially since Michigan's top team dropped out of division one to compete in the lower bracket.
