?? We're entering the final month of the regular season. I thought it worthwhile to have WOPR sort through the latest Massey Ratings. It should help pin down who the 64 District favorites might be and advance to the 16 Regional tourneys.

? Each District will have the Top 3 contenders listed by statewide rankings. For ease of use, this breakdown comes in four parts. 

?➕️ We'll close with a look at the Top 16 Districts in a variation of the "Power Plus Regional Rankings."
