The No. 1 seed in this class has not reached the championship match the last two tournaments. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Should the favorites be on alert next week? That would be wise with some sneaky good matchups in the quarterfinals and tricky paths to the title litter the landscape.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Norwalk is a worthy No. 1 seed. The Warriors are 30-6 and champions of the Little Hawkeye Conference. It seems like they've been on a collision course with defending Class 3A champion Assumption, who moved up a classification this year. The Knights are loaded with talent despite rebuilding after graduation losses. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Clear Creek Amana has been a high seed throughout this decade. It feels like the outside expectations are lower for the Clippers, but they're capable of winning it all.
