Philly, I think WW had 1 or 2 top players transfer this season--also not being in a league their schedule is set up willy/nilly with available opponents from Cincy/Dayton area, but difficult to keep kids engaged with no conference title to play for. Moving into the ECC with Lebanon and Little Miami next year will help their scheduling issues immensely and give them a solid 22 game schedule.Why can't Winton Woods keep a decent team together for more than one year at a time?
Not sure how you’ve come to your conclusion on these brackets but there is 0% chance a top 15 seed chooses Moeller’s bracket. Last year the best team they faced prior to the sweet 16 was a 12 seed in Winton Woods. Prior to them the best they faced was 19 seed Middletown who I’m pretty sure was put there because they missed their pick so went last.
Yes Moeller has a loss this year but other than that only one game decided by less than 10 points, on the road at notoriously tough Lasalle. No team is willingly going into their side of the bracket. More than likely Moeller gets a group of teams with less wins combined than Moeller has all year.
Also the second best team isn’t East it’s Lasalle. East will only get the 2 seed if all the GMC coaches come together like usual and vote them high.
There is some strategy by going into their bracket, a lower ranked team has a better chance of winning a first, second round game and then meeting up with Moeller rather than the other brackets. The way they do the draws brings up strategy, rivalries, etc. Playing Moeller in Dayton is more fun than losing a first or second round game!

No DI District Championships are in Dayton this year. All four games are at Cintas Center on Sunday, March 8.There is some strategy by going into their bracket, a lower ranked team has a better chance of winning a first, second round game and then meeting up with Moeller rather than the other brackets.

Is the bracket available yet? trying to plan a trip in March thxNo DI District Championships are in Dayton this year. All four games are at Cintas Center on Sunday, March 8.
Here's the link with dates and times for the sectional games--no teams listed til Sunday's draw--Is the bracket available yet? trying to plan a trip in March thx
If I'm a team like Edgewood, Mt.Healthy, or West I'm jumping in the bracket with Moe. Probably guaranteed to win a game or two and make it to a sectional final something neither of these teams have been able to do in recent memory. These three teams stand no chance going into a bracket where they have to face two teams that are very good just to get to a sectional final. These three teams have had really good years, but are great examples of teams who are not that good to win two or three tournament games against quality opponents in a sectional bracket. That's why I would jump in the bracket with Moe, beat a Little Miami, Kings, or a Withrow and see if I could pull off that upset in a sectional final! lol
And Colerain will be Moe's 2nd opponent---#31 and #32 seeds will get stuck with Moe, unless some other team wants to get their season over--or misses the draw like Middletown did last year and was placed in the last open spot!!I have news for you. Little Miami is probably going to play Moeller in its first game.
Based on overall body of work, and votes due by noon, here are my seeds 1-14:
1--Moe 19-1---1st place GCL
2--East 18-2--1st place GMC
3--LaSalle 18-2--2nd place GCL
4--Turpin 17-2--1st place ECC
5--Oak Hills 15-5--2nd place GMC
6--Princeton 14-6--tied 3rd place GMC
7--Hamilton 14-6--tied for 3rd place GMC
8--St. X 12-6--3rd place GCL
9--West Clermont 15-5--2nd place in ECC
10--Walnut Hills 14-6--3rd place ECC
11--Mt. Healthy 15-4--tied 1st place in SWOC
12--Mason 11-7 --tied for 3rd place GMC
13--Elder--11-9--tied for 3rd place GCL
14--Edgewood 15-5--tied 1st place SWOC
Meeting for the draw will be at 2:00 on Sunday 2/9 at Lakota West--should be interesting as always!!
Don't be so sure of top teams avoiding East and LaSalle--many teams have played them tough and may choose to play them in a sectional final if that's a better path to the regional--the Turpin bracket should be the loaded one I anticipate!!we will see almost all of the 4-14 seeds in the same 2 brackets. No one will want to go up against the top 3. Moeller Lasalle and East will all have incredibly easy draws headed into the games at Cintas. Teams 4-14 will feel very confident of making it to Xavier going up against each other.

Here's the link with dates and times for the sectional games--no teams listed til Sunday's draw--these brackets will be filled in sometime after the draw is finished--probably online by 4:00 to 5:00.Are the meetings open to the public? I assume they are for coaches only, but just wondering as I too thought it would be interesting to see how the brackets unfold.
