With a tougher schedule than most of that sectional and wins over Western and demolishing New Boston...I think Manchester is the #1 seed.
They have a loss or two more than Western and NB...but also play vs North Adams (13-1 D3) twice already, Ripley D3, Eastern Brown D3 above .500, Lynchburg Clay 11-3 D3, beat Whiteoak twice
Does anyone have the records for NB, East, Manchester, Western?
Western 9-5?
New Boston 8-4?
Manchester 8-6?
East 8-6?
Not exactly a rockin sectional...but being #1 will avoid the only team above everyone else in Oak Hill for several rounds
Manchester lost to Bath County Kentucky who is 13-3 according to max preps, they lost to Lynchburg who is 11-3, and North Adams twice who is now 14-1. All are bigger schools, Bath would be either a 1 or 2 in Ohio. They have played a lot tougher schedule, hopefully it pays off for them.
If it doesn't pay off in the seeding it'll pay off in their tourney run.
Those teams would beat the other teams that also could be #1....with those teams being their losses....and beating NB and Western....they SHOULD be the #1

*This could play a huge advantage to somebody come Sunday! This is more of a factor than strength of schedule. Strength of schedule helps you for competition in the tourney, not to get a better seed.
Manchester beat western by one (and even that was questionable) with a western put back at the buzzer that would have won the game - the official in position ruled it good but after 2 minutes of consultation was talked into to changing his mind. And that was a bad night for western as well. Shanks scored like 4 points? The third game that week for Western? Just off of a hard fought victory over New Boston by about 10-15 points?
Manchester's lost how many games? I just don't see them at #1 seed.
In the SOC you only have New Boston, Symmes Valley, and Western to look at. They all have two league losses. NB beat Symmes, Symmes beat Western, Western beat NB. But Western also beat Symmes at Symmes by what 16? and only lost to them by one in OT. Symmes and NB conveniently cancelled their match up two weeks ago and postponed until after the tournament draw.
Shanks at 16 points that night and Manchester was coming off a big win over Ripley who is 2nd in the SHL. Even the Western coach said that the basket wasn't any good. I think if they played again Manchester would win easy.
10-6 with 2 loses to 15-2 Na, 1 lose to 13-3 Bath County Kentucky, 1 lose to 11-4 Lynchburg Clay 1 to Horizon Science and don't know who the other lose is to.
If your going to go with who beat who East beat Western and is also in the race for the SOC I title along with New Boston, Symmes Valley, and Western.
The Valley section top 4 should be Manchester, New Boston, East, Western with Manchester getting the 1 seed. the other three could go any way like I said in an earlier post East will have no less than the 4th seed and if they do I will be suprised.
1. Manchester (Beat Western and New Boston) Can clinch their league with a win on Friday with three league games left after Friday.
2. Western
3. New Boston
4. East
5. Whiteoak (Beat D3 North Adams on 1/22/07) Very big quality win.
6. Green
7. Fairfield
8. Paint Valley
9. South Webster
10. Notre Dame
11. Clay
