WVSSAC Baseball Tournament Predictions

The West Virginia Secondary School Activities Commission (WVSSAC) Baseball Tournament starts this weekend with Class A and AA games. Here are my predictions for who will come out on top in each class.

In Class A, I think Buffalo will take the title. They have a strong team and they’ve been playing well all season. In Class AA, I think it’s going to be either Hurricane or Lincoln County. Both teams are evenly matched and it should be a close game but I think Hurricane has a slight edge.
