Gideon lost to Winona in 2, and Clarkton lost to Winona in 3. Montana Person and [player_tooltip player_id='234483' first='Bree' last='Winchester'] have redemption on their minds. I will go with Clarkton in 5 to knock off last year's Class 1 runner-up.</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"textColor":"primary"} --> <p class="has-primary-color has-text-color">District 3</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Bell City 22-2-1</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Vs.

I'm going to take Advance in 5 with late-season improvements, including wins over South Iron and Lesterville. Advance has won districts for so long that I'm not sure they know how to lose in districts. Bell City is an unknown team at this point, with no stats posted anywhere, but it beat Advance 18-25, 25-22, 25-19, and 25-20. Alexis Hoffmann goes off in the middle for the Hornets.</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"textColor":"primary"} --> <p class="has-primary-color has-text-color"><strong>District 4</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Meadow Heights 21-8</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Vs.
