Going to be interesting to see what Sheldon does with the 3 seed. Does he go to Willard side with a short drive to Monroeville or to Upper side and a long drive to Bascom?

He should have good input from his brother over at crawford on Upper and what side to go to.

Easy choice. Western goes to Uppers bracket. As Western doesn’t have much size which hurts them vs Willard.

I look for Western, Carey, Huron and Oak Harbor to go to whichever side Upper is at. Western Reserve thinks they can run with Upper. Carey has had success with Upper the past couple years. Huron.... see last years tournament... Oak Harbor want no part of Willard for a 3rd time.
Willard by all rights should cruise to the district final if it gets the 2 seed. But a blowout loss to Vermilion will definitely move them out of the 2 seed to the 3. Then this district meeting on Sunday could get interesting 😎😎😎

But feel like these teams would want matchups they like. Sheldon whole heartedly thinks they can run with Upper. Carey is never afraid of Upper. Huron flat out out coached Upper. And like I said Oak Harbor got destroyed twice by Willard so why not take a chance at someone else. Maybe not entirely accurate and one team may not go to Uppers side but it is a good chance these teams do.

If Willard loses by 20 or so to Vermilion dk you think teams will respect them. Do you think SBC'S votes will win them the 2. Guarantee Firelands teams will vote for Western. And possibly Upper and Carey too. That would move them from 2 to 3 very easily. Hopefully Willard handles the game and makes a statement heading into the weekend but we shall see.

With Upper seemingly not clicking as a team do they take a buy or play the 1st game to try and establish some rhythm to avoid last year's result?

I get your argument, and its not bad, with a few exceptions. A 20 point blowout by Vermilion will be more of a validation of their team, than Willard losing respect from other teams. Anyone who has seen Willard play, or who has played against Willard knows they have the best Athletes of any team in the area. When they are playing together, unselfishly, they are clearly the best team in the district. However, just as they can be that good, they can be average when not playing together. I believe if WR and Willard have the same record going into Sunday evening, Willard gets the 2 seed. But crazier things have happened.

Harraway is a good athlete, as other teams have good athletes as well. No team Ive seen has the overall athleticism as the Flashes....positions 1 thru 5. Not withstanding the Richland County teams, as Ive only seen a few.

I was really impressed with Harraway this year. Bigger and stronger and smother than last year. 1 thru 5 I'm sure Mansfield Senior could match up with Willard athletically. 1 thru 10 Senior is superior. Lex had good enough athletes to make it to Columbus last year in DII. They return 6 of their top 8. Lex/Norwalk should be a good match up Friday. I've seen both play, they're comparable.

Willard has the best starting 5 of any team I've saw this year in our league and against the teams we've played. Bench players will be key for them heading into the tourney because a few of our starters tend to get in foul trouble easily and the teams in our district have scouted us well. If they play as a single unit they'll make it to regionals, if not they'll bow out early.

Willard should clearly be #1 SEED and go to Monroeville.defense always travel well that's why I have a better feel about this team getting out of the districts.if we just tried to out shoot you then I would be 50/50 about it.holding vermilion under 50 points is incredible and will give these kids confidence going forward.

But a blowout loss to Vermilion will definitely move them out of the 2 seed to the 3. Then this district meeting on Sunday could get interesting 😎😎😎 If I were Huron, I'd be careful with that theory. Shooting wise, Upper couldn't hit a bull in the *** with a scoop shovel that night....1 night. Who knows what, if anything, Winslow's going up against his former school (Huron) had to do with Upper's, or even HIS performance? It was the 1st time, and those things can be tricky. Huron is an enigma, wrapped in a riddle, and have been for a couple seasons. They stunk out the joint vs. Willard this year, so going to that side is no bargain either, and it would be their 2nd game vs. Willard in a week, since they play the last Friday of the season also. Carey's "success" vs. Upper is 1 win since 2015, but in fairness, many of the games have been competitive. This boils down to Upper/Willard, Willard/Upper unless 1 of those 2 schools add the color yellow to their school's scheme.

Looks like Carey and Oak Harbor were really interested in going to Upper side, who is the 2 seed

Oak Harbor must like potential matchup with Carey. Carey must feel like their loss to Willard is an overcomable step if they get there. Like the games coming up and look forward to catching quite a few of them

its obvious upper has easier side. I thought Carey and Wynford would go upper side. It don't matter because if we play our game its on to regionals.

Flashes have never played in Monroeville. Agree with OH thoughts about Carey.

Beddingfield is using an old Haas theory...schedule a regular season non-league game vs. whomever hosts the Sectionals. Haas put Sandusky on the schedule for that reason (and a competitive game), and now Willard plays H-L. for the same reason (and some others). These coaches, for the most part, aren't dumb. Almost everything is calculated.

Almost everything is calculated. That may be but the sectional sites are much more year-to-year now compared to the 80’s when it hardly switched. Also there are 2 sites now with the super sectional format compared to one standing sectional site. It really doesn’t matter. The baskets are all 10 feet high

The baskets are all 10 feet high There were ALWAYS 2 Sectional sites, that's not a "now" thing. The process HAS changed, because, as you know, a school was locked in to 1 "standing" site or the other. It WAS easier in the old days, but now, if you do just a little "math" it's not that hard to figure out, roll the dice a bit, if you will. They've also added 2 games jumping from 20 to 22 games, so that works back in favor of "now."
