The girls high school basketball postseason tips off in less than two hours, which still gives me plenty of time to make my picks for this year’s WIAA playoffs.

Division 1

Chippewa Falls has the upper bracket’s best record, and the #1 seed, but not that much separates Chi-Hi from teams like #7 seed Eau Claire Memorial, which played the Cards fairly close in two regular season games.  Speaking of the Old Abes, they should have momentum after an 11-point win over Stevens Point, the other #1 seed in the sectional
