The upper bracket of this sectional has four of the top 10 seeds in the open draw, so expect some outstanding competition throughout the games. The 6, 8, and 9 seeds all play in the first two games, as Dixie comes from the WOAC as #6 led by senior Sierra Brinson. West Liberty Salem and Greenview both are from the OHC and will provide some talent. Preble Shawnee is likely the best team in the upper bracket as the #3 overall seed. They have a pair of 1,000-point scorers with Liv Thompson and Campbell Jewell Campbell Jewell 5'6" | PG Preble Shawnee | 2023 OH . In the bottom bracket, it runs through #2 Miami East as the Vikings have a balanced squad led by 2024 McKayah Musselman in the paint, an improved solid player at the basket. They are the only team above .500 as Versailles stands 10-10 and several sub-.500 teams looking for the upset.
