Ok. So looking at Div 1 for SWOH to see which teams are happy this morning and which aren't and which games to go see in the next few weeks. My guess is SUA not super thrilled today, league champions and the #4 seed but probably not going to win their district. The rest of the GGCL not likely any happier to be looking at potential 3rd game slugfests for their district since that league already plays a regular season home/home series. Mason and Loveland never shy away from a rematch but I was kinda hoping to get a chance to see LW vs. Loveland too, maybe it still happens in a potential regional matchup.
Looks like a few teams will skate through their sections but we should have some good games on 10/17 and 10/21 to decide the rest, barring upsets its likely to look like this in a few weeks:
- North 3 - not seeing likely challengers to Beavercreek
- South 2 - SUA vs. Lebanon 10/21
- North 3 vs. South 2 for SW1 District (Beavercreek recently beat SUA 3-1)
- South 3 - MND vs. Milford 10/17 (MND won early season 3-0) and then winner vs. Anderson 10/21 (MND beat Anderson early season 1-0, Milford recently tied Anderson 0-0)
- South 4 - MMcA vs. OH 10/17 (OH won early season 1-0) and then winner vs. Seton 10/21 (Seton tied MMcA early season 2-2 and then beat them recently 2-1, and beat OH early season 3-0)
- South 3 vs. South 4 on 10/24 for SW2 District (too many games to compare, more clear after 10/17)
- North 1 - Springboro vs. Carroll 10/21 (tied early season 2-2)
- South 1 - not seeing likely challengers to Lakota West
- North 1 vs. South 1 on 10/24 for SW3 District
- North 2 - not seeing likely challengers to Centerville
- South 5 - Mason vs. Loveland 10/21 (Mason won early season 1-0)
- North 2 vs. South 5 on 10/24 for SW4 District
DI Prediction time (someone else please jump in with DII and DIII copy/paste templates, I'm out of time for today)
Who wins their section and plays for Districts on 10/24?
- North 3 - BC - no challengers
- South 2 - SUA - tough team with speed, haven't seen Leb but i thin SUA wins close one
- South 3 - MND - MMcA handled Milford in scrimmage and MND went 1:1 with MMcA
- South 4 - MMcA - Oak Hills game was a fluke with MMcA missing 3 starters. Seton game will be a toss up.
- North 1 - Springboro seems to have gotten better as the season went on
- South 1 - LW - no challengers
- North 2 - Center - no challengers
- South 5 - Mason - Beat SUA and already Love.
Who wins Districts and plays in the Regional Semis on 10/29?
- SW1 (N3 vs. S2) - SUA - just because they are battled tested
- SW2 (S3 vs S4) - Seton - wins close one against MMcA and handles MND as they already have
- SW3 (N1 vs. S1) - LW - only because they have KD
- SW4 (N2 vs. S5) - Center - wins close one with Mason
Who wins the semi and plays for the Region on 11/2?
- Winner SW1 vs. SW4 - SUA - again very athletic physical team with speed
- Winner SW2 vs. SW3 - LW - i think this will be a high scoring game - KD VS EF & HA i think LW may have the stronger defense
Who wins the Region heads to Columbus the State Semi on 11/5?
- Winner SW - LW - only bc they have the better defense
