State Seedings

Seedings and First Round Pairings for the State Championship were decided on Sunday. My guess is that the regular season, the league tournament and last year's finish at state were all considered in seeding the teams (combined scores are shown in parentheses), although I cannot help but wonder whether the committee transposed Hoffman Estates and Hoffman Estates (Conant). MSL teams drew the following spots:

7 Barrington (17.5)
21 Palatine (16)
22 Mt Prospect(Prospect) (14)
32 Palatine(Fremd) (14)
42 Hoffman Estates (9)
51 Hoffman Estates(Conant) (13.5)
63 Rolling Meadows (9)
64 Buffalo Grove (10)
76 Elk Grove (2)
108 Schaumburg (2)

If there was a mistake, it simply makes Hoffman's job that much tougher as they play 14th seed Glenbard North in the first round while Conant meets 23rd seed Oak Park-River Forest. Rolling Meadows and Buffalo Grove drew the 96th and 97th seeds respectively while Prospect plays 50th seed Romeoville.
