SW District- Div. 1 Dayton Sectional Preview

With the tournament draw held around Ohio on Sunday, every team in the Buckeye state now knows their path to the state final four weekend coming March 12-14 at a location to be announced. Dayton will have two sites for the Division 1 tournament as games will be held at Troy and Butler High Schools. Below is a preview of the complete schedule along with some faces to watch. Note the Butler/Troy opening round game has not settled on a location since teams cannot host their own game. <strong><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: ’arial black’, sans-serif;">Schedule of Games</span></strong> <span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: impact, sans-serif;">TROY HIGH SCHOOL</span> <em>Feb. 11- West Carrollton (12) vs Miamisburg (4) 5:00;  Northmont (15) vs Springboro (3) 7:30.</em> <em>Feb. 13- Springfield (18) vs Wayne (1) 11:00;  Butler (9) vs Troy (8) 1:30 (location TBA); Beavercreek (10) vs Sidney (7) 4:00.</em> <em>Feb. 16- Bellbrook (6) vs West Carrollton/Miamisburg 5:00; Fairmont (14) vs Northmont/Springboro 7:30.</em> <em>Feb. 18- Fairborn (19) vs Wayne/Springfield 5:00; Butler/Troy vs Beavercreek/Sidney 7:30.</em> <em>Feb. 22- Upper bracket finals 5:00; Lower bracket finals 7:30.</em> <span style="font-family: ’arial black’, sans-serif;"><strong><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Top 8 Seeds</span></strong></span> 1.
