Fort Frye is (13-1).

After Morgan's win at Coshocton, Raiders are 10-5 and Coshocton is 5-8.

Any updates

I think Cadets deserve 1 seed. Fort Frye beat New Philly and Shenandoah and both teams beat Tusky Valley. Tusky Valley beat Ridgewood.

Top 4 should go Fort Frye-1, Tusky Valley-2, Ridgewood- 3 and Union Local -4

Tusky Valley and Ridgewood was supposed to play again last night, but Ridgewood cancelled. Tusky Valley beat Ridgewood 59-49 in their only meeting. Both teams had a starter out for the game.

Think Ridgewood or TV will go to Fort Frye side of the bracket?

I could see the #2, #3 and #4 seeds all going away from Fort Frye. Morgan could be the sleeper again that may play Fort in the district semi

My predictions on seeding... 1- Fort Frye, 2- Ridgewood, 3- Union Local, 4- Tusky Valley. Tusky Valley (as lotto mentioned) was scheduled to play at Ridgewood last night but as the visiting team, canceled because they didn't want to make the drive. Ridgewood has won 7 in a row now since getting back a healthy Gabe Tingle (we all know how important he is to the football team, he is just as important to the basketball team) and been playing very well, beat D1 Massillon on Saturday. They controlled that game from the start and lead by as many as 12.

Tusky Valley played Ridgewood without their best player and TV played without one of their best players.

The Massillon team that Ridgewood beat was without their best player Ballard as he early enrolled at Ohio State. That Massillon team was not very good at all.

Oh, cmon now Dan. I know you are TV through and through and nothing wrong with that. But, lets not go making off the wall claims. Massillon plays the D1 schedule and are a tough opponent for a D3. They came into that game with Ridgewood at 9-5 with two losses to 13-2 Ashland (one was the night before by 3), a loss to University and then one to Massillon Jackson and one to McKiney. They were 4-1 without Ballard going into the Ridgewood game. "Not very good at all" is not a fitting way to describe that and as a basketball guy, you know that.

D3 Eastern District Predictions

1. Fort Frye
2. Tusky Valley
3. Ridgewood
4. Union Local
5. Morgan
6. Harrison Central
7. West Muskingum
8. Bellaire
9. Buckeye Local
10. Coshocton
11. Buckeye Trail
12. Bridgeport
13. Garaway
14. Martins Ferry
15. Sandy Valley
16. Barnesville
17. Edison
18. Newcomerstown

My predictions were close. Fort Frye got 17 of 18 first place votes.

Bracket Season

It’s gonna be a fun tournament.

Looks like teams shied away most from Fort Frye and Ridgewood

The other item I note is that 15 of the 18 schools are north of I-70. Fort Frye and Morgan are real outliers

Ridgewood lost to TV. Figured those 2 teams would rematch. Team I didn’t wanna face as a Fort fan is Morgan.

Am I looking at this right? Ridgewood at #3 and West M at #7 each took an extra game (while #1 & #2 had already passed on taking the play-in winner)?

And for West M, they now have to pull two upsets, rather than just one to make it out of the Sectional? Apparently they felt they couldn’t beat any of the top 3 teams?
