Division III, Jackson Sectional
In Division III, a pair of familiar foes will square off when the No. 5 Nelsonville-York Lady Buckeyes face off with the No. 12 Alexander Lady Spartans in the Jackson Sectional. The game will be played at Jackson High School on February 11 at 8:30 p.m. The Lady Bucks swept the season series in conference play, however the past has shown that anything can happen come tournament time. The Wellston Lady Rockets ended up with the No. 9 seed and will play No. 8 Chesapeake in the opening round. The Meigs Marauders have a long road ahead, as they face off with No. 2 Ironton in the first round.
