Division IV Bracket & Picks!

Division IV

D4 could end up being a great tournament.  This may be one of the first times in tournament history there were two undefeated 20-0 teams in the regular season (Twinfield & Proctor) and neither of them received the #1 seed! That honor went to Danville, who actually had a blemish on their record, a 6 point loss to the hands of Enosburg back in early February. Danville finished the season at 19-1, but 14 of their 20 games came against division 3 opponents. Pretty impressive considering what their end record was. No question Danville's signature wins came with their season sweep of #1 seed in division III the Hazen Wildcats. Danville could very well be the overwhelming favorite.
The Twinfield Trojans and star big man Chad Copeland may be what's standing in the way of Danville. Copeland, who has got to be in the conversation for Central VT Player of the year honors (especially if they can bring home a banner) had a great off season with Lone Wolf Athletics this past summer, and his game has shown improvements. A double-double machine, Copeland along with David Codling and Avery Whitcomb have a legitmate shot at the Division 4 crown.  Strength of schedule is the only concern for the Trojans.  Having not played a team such as Proctor, or Danville does leave some questions. 
Theres not a whole lot to say about Proctor.  Proctor, is Proctor.  The Phantoms have become a yearly fixture at the Aud, winning 5 of the last 6 state titles in division 4.  Anyone who knows anything about VT hoops knows they are always a force, and undoubtly come March will find their way to the Granite City.
One sleeper, may be the #5 seed Websterville Baptist. With 6'8" Big man Andrew Shuman, this may be the only team with a post presence who can contest Copeland.  It will certainly be an entertaining tournament at the D4 level.  My pick is Twinfield.  I like their depth, their speed, and their size. Oh and I like the fact they have the best player in Division 4.  Go Trojans!
