I have this irrational fascination with streaks. With Frederick Douglass being in my coverage area, I was interested in knowing who else was really hot coming into the tournament. So I started making a list on paper and just decided to go ahead and finish it up here. It's practically useless but I also have this irrational fascination with high school basketball. 

Not so irrational, I'd say.  You know how the saying goes: "When you're hot you're hot"!  If the concept holds, it looks like we may see a match-up of Warren Central vs Frederick Douglass!  That would make a pretty high-powered final.
