GREENE COUNTY — Greene County-area girls high school basketball teams earned plenty of respect last weekend. As the seeding and pairings for the 2018 sectional tournament were revealed, six of the nine area teams were rated as a No. 4 seed or higher.
Two teams — Beavercreek in Division I and Legacy Christian Academy in Division IV — were chosen as the top seeds. Two others — Bellbrook (D-II) and Cedarville (D-IV) — were selected as the area’s No. 2 seeds.
Greeneview is the No. 3 seed in Division III and Carroll is the No. 4 seed in Division II.
Other area seedings include Yellow Springs at No. 6 in Division IV, with Fairborn and Xenia rated Nos. 14 and 18 respectively in Division I.
The sectional tournaments get under way for area schools on Valentine’s Day, Wednesday Feb. 14 when the Greeneview Rams take on 15th seeded Brookville in a Division III opener at Trotwood-Madison High School.
