KLAA

Really tough conference tournament going down tomorrow in Howell with two of the state's top-5 teams in D1. Brighton and Hartland lead the way in the KLAA, with Westland John Glenn and Howell also both having really solid years. Teams like Brighton and Hartland have numerous guys ranked at multiple weights, so we do our best to predict how they might enter their lineups here. We give our prediction for top-4 at each weight.
