Normally, a 15-4 team would garner one of the top seeds in a bracket.
But this isn’t a normal season.
With three teams ranked in the top 10 of the state by the Associated Press — Fairland, Unioto and Sheridan — which doesn’t even include defending district champion Warren, the upcoming Division II Southeast District tournament is deep in terms of quality with 11 double-digit win schools.
Circleville (15-4) was seeded eighth on Sunday by the district coaches in Division II, grabbing the final seed to host a sectional final. The Tigers are slated to host ninth-seeded Waverly (12-6) on Feb. 16 at 7 p.m.
The winner will likely advance to a district semifinal against top-seeded Fairland (18-0) at either Piketon or Logan high schools on Feb. 20.
Logan Elm (4-17) was seeded 14th and gets the task of traveling to defending state runner-up and third-seeded Sheridan (16-2) on Feb. 16 at 7 p.m. for its sectional final.
In Division III, Westfall (5-15) was seeded 26th and will travel to 23rd seeded Wellston (6-12) on Feb. 15 at 7 p.m. for a sectional final. The winner then travels to second-seeded Portsmouth West (19-1) for a sectional final on Feb. 18 at 1 p.m.
