Division 3 Sectional Records

[FannyPack]

Alexander has a tough rematch at Meigs tonight. A 17-4 record with the above schedule is impressive. Losses to three division 2 teams and at Chesapeake.

Fool me once, shame on me. Fool me twice, shame on you.

If Alexander gets to the Convo, remember they ain't playing at the Alley, I'll pick them to lose by 15 there.

The saying is:

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

If the Spartans keep shooting the ball the way they have been, they are going to be a tough out anywhere.

Go Alex.

Thanks for correcting my mistake. Here's a non mistake, Alexander is now 6-4 away from the Alley, those 6 wins came against teams who average 4.25 wins. They better hope they get gifted another high seed so they can walk to the Convo.

I know the voting was mostly over but no one will want to see Portsmouth in the first round. Portsmouth lost a tough game at Fairland who HAS to be a 1 seed! But on neutral court they will be tough game for anyone!

Put the top 5 teams names in a hat at Jackson and draw from there. Although, I think Fairland is definitely the 1 seed, after that it's a crapshoot.

Looks like someone at Zane Trace made someone mad as they drop to the #8 seed.

All first round DIII games at the Convo will be on a Sunday thanks to the Ohio Bobcats playing on Saturday.

It was probably everyone that ZT played this year lol. A lot has gone down, so I'm guessing they weren't going to get any favors.

But, they have won 6 straight, including pounding 2 seed Lynchburg. They deserved a better seed and I'm not sure Valley is real excited to see them.

Yes! As both a student teacher and baseball coach, this is perfect. Won't cause me to miss a game.

Having watched North Adams last night, if they are the 6th best team, this is the worst sectional in the state.

Lol! I was trying not to base my thoughts on them based on the Huntington game (trailed for 31+ mins) but that seals up what I was thinking in general.

Zane Trace has played well lately. Valley will have their hands full if Zane Trace gets past Southeastern for the third time.

Definitely. Surprised they slipped below NA. Tough draw for Valley.

1. Valley
2. Lynchburg
3. Adena
4. Westfall
5. Portsmouth
6. Zane Trace
7. Eastern
8. North Adams

Asking the SVC guys.....Do any of you feel if the top 2 are set (Valley - LC), that ZT would make a play at the 7 for the matchup with LC rather than playing Adena again? Do you think the SVC guys would want to play each other and ensure an SVC presence at the Convo, or attempt to set matchups to where 3 teams have a chance?


1. Fairland
2. Chesapeake
3. Wheelersburg
4. Alexander
5. Minford
6. Ironton
7. Wellston
8. Oak Hill

You can make the case for Wheelersburg at #2, but I would guess the OVC sticks together and gives Mark and his team another chance at a game they blew a few weeks ago.

These are my predictions for the seeds. And here is my guess for the District Semis:

1. Valley vs.5. Minford (Round 3)
2. Lynchburg (if ZT is the #6- If ZT is the #7 - I'll take them) vs. 3.Wheelersburg
6. ZT (If they are #7 I'll take Adena over Eastern) vs. 2. Chesapeake
5. Portsmouth vs 1. Fairland (Round 3)

Well only Eastern was able to crash the party as 7 of the top 8 seeds advance to next Sunday.

Having watched 4 of the championship games, I will say this about 2 of the teams in the Valley side of the bracket....I have not seen two teams all year that play as hard and as smart as Eastern and Alexander. Two very solid squads.

There is not a single "mismatch" in my opinion at the Convo next Sunday. The team that wins 3 in a row will be pretty prepared to play the East/Columbus team for the trip to the Schott.
