Southeast Ohio Tournament Predictions

[bbjunky81]

Coming off of a post I saw in pfloyd's thread in which dpatty kindly placed each sectional in order based off of pfloyd's ranking, I wanted to start a thread where we can predict the seeding of each sectional. We're nearing the halfway point in the season so it's not too soon!

I removed the records just because I think some teams will make a strong push to finish the year and others will drop. These are simply predictions at this point so don't berate me if you disagree

I’ll guess SW will face Miller or Symmes Valley at Meigs

Not sure ISJ will get the love at NW.

D3 and D4 doesn’t look very strong and D2 isn’t as strong as usual at the top

I'd like to see Portsmouth (6-2) get the #1 seed at Waverly, but being the only OVC school at that sectional, it will be tough to get the necessary votes for that top spot unless the Trojans go into the draw with no more than 4 losses, maybe 5. With Fairland coming up twice, games with Coal Grove, Gallia Academy, South Point, and Ironton, it will be difficult for PHS to get #1. Getting the #2 or #3 seed is much more likely.

The Jackson sectional is much more stacked than the Waverly sectional.

I don't think anybody will be happy to see the Trojans in their bracket. On their good nights, they can play with any D3 team in the SE district.

I don't see a d3 team on this list that compares to oak hill this year. I see them making a deep tourney run
