Zane Trace has beaten Vinton County (only loss), Adena twice , Piketon (10th ranked) and beat Huntington easily. They are a legit 4-6 seed.
We play them Tuesday night at their place my Braves go there.
NA -1 Piketon-2 Valley-3 Peebles-4 Westfall-5 ZT-6 Minford-7 Adena-8 Portsmouth-9 Huntington-10 Eastern Brown-11 ?-12 ?-13 ?-14 ?-15 toss up. This is the best seeding and lets everybody settle it head to head.
I think Kickinurz has it the way it should be as of today. If Peebles would lose before the drawing I think they might go all the way down to a 6 or worse.
Please let everyone know where your seedings stand Ironman92 . Maybe you can play us in the SE sectional while your at it. So give me your D2 seedings at SE?
Portsmouth's win over South Point last night gave the Trojans a 5-0 record vs. Non-conference competition.......with wins over Wheelersburg, Minford, South Point, and Greenfield McClain.........PHS owns wins over teams from 3 different leagues, and if McClain is now over .500 it gives us 4 wins over teams with winning records........
But I agree with Ozzie.......I just don't think Portsmouth will get that high of a seed.........
So, if piketon gets the #2 seed and wins....they will face the winner of 7 and 10....so according to most of these rankings..piketon would play the winner of westfall and portsmouth??? wow...who couldn't see that one coming, right? lol that would make us play (as of now), the SVC league lead tiebreaker or P-town (Coach L's high school)....
Got to love SE ohio this year!!!
I believe having ZT over Westfall is crazy....Of course, they will play again, but at the present time, according to record, you can't put Westfall below ZT.
We all have to agree, whichever teams come out of the sectional this year, we all need to support the teams because this is our message to the rest of the state! We have a lot of talent in Southern Ohio, and this could be our year! This is a strong sectional!
I really don't see Adena being much lower than a#6 seed considering that they will probably go to the drawing with a 12-4 or 11-5 record. With 6 wins versus DII schools. They stand at 10-4 right now with games this week scheduled against Miami Trace and Piketon. If they were to win both of those games and be 12-4 I feel no worse than a #4 seed would be warranted.
No issues ironman92, I respect your opinion its all good. I do agree with your D2 seedings by the way. Adena will be lower than a 6th seed IMO. Peebles will be the key. Teams should have played Saturday if possible to help themselves but most didnt want too.
i have a method for seeding that would take the politics out and might be fair, therefore, i am sure it will never fly. it goes like this, you get points for each of your wins and no penalty for losses. you would get 4 pts for a d1 win, 3 pts for a d2 win, 2 pts, for a d3 win, and 1 pt for a d4 win. if two teams tie that would be voted off by the coaches.
therefore, you would be rewarded for playing a tougher schedule but only if you were able to beat the bigger schools.
nickle, never said it was perfect. i don't have a horse in this race, just a way to reward for wins against bigger schools and not base it solely on wins against inferior teams.
Whats it matter where your seeded, you still have to win to get out of the sectional. My senior year, SE talked there way out of a 1 seed and let us Piketon into it. They were beat in the sectional finals by a team they had beat twice in the season. They wanted to stay away from Chesapeak in the District semis. So I have witnessed both good and bad decisions by the coaches vote.
As somebody previously mentioned about Peebles being a key, I really don't think they will lose before next Sunday's draw. They have three games this week all at home. Tuesday they play Fairfield which could be a pretty decent game. Then on Friday Peebles has Homecoming against Lynchburg-Clay and then on Saturday it is Paint Valley coming to Peebles. With a good 3-0 week, Peebles would be 12-3 at the drawing next Sunday which should be good enough for the #3 seed, although if Valley would win out I could see them at #3 and Peebles at # 4. Who does Valley have this week?
