Southwest Ohio Girls’ Basketball Tournament Seeding Set

 

No. 1-ranked Lakota West (14-1) earned the top seed in the girls’ Southwest Ohio Division I basketball tournament that is set to begin on Feb. 5. 

 

The Firebirds have elected to play out of the Harrison sectional in the upper bracket, which ultimately routes away from Cincinnati after district play and into the Columbus regional. 

 

Mount Notre Dame, Oak Hills and Winton Woods earned seeds 2 through 4.  At first glance, it appears that the Milford sectional upper bracket is the most competitive.  Barring upsets, Oak Hills and No. 6 Princeton could meet in a sectional final.

 

In Division II, Wyoming (14-1) earned the top seed.  The Cowboys sport one of the best records among all Cincinnati small schools.  Their lone loss was a 30-24 setback on Dec. 13 against Cincinnati Hills League opponent Madeira. 

 

Georgetown (14-2) earned the top seed in Division III.  They are one of the hotter teams at the moment and winners of nine straight after losing back-to-back games on Dec. 6 and 8.  Unbeaten Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy (15-0) came in at a surprising No. 4 seed, setting up a potential sectional final against another unbeaten team and No. 2 seed Madison (14-0).

 

Seven Hills (12-4) was awarded the top spot in Division IV.  Three of the Stingers four losses have come against CHCA.
