Talk about some BS with how the teams are seeded this year for the Elite 8 tournament. CHS at 3? St. Jude at 5? SJ beat CHS multiple times this year and even won a tournament, unlike Catholic. Having St. George 1 and Aloysius 2 is perfectly fine, but having the Baby Bears at 3 is laughable, at best. Smells like some home cooking for what is supposed to be a merit based end of the year tournament...

Is your goal to win a game, or win the championship?

If your goal is to win a championship, then why do you care who you have to play to win it? You have to be the best to win it all, and you're going to have to beat the best to win it all. What does it matter if you do it in Rd 1 or the championship game?

That whole age group is just not that good outside of St. Aloysius and St. George. There's multiple 7th grade teams that would beat the rest of those 8th grade teams routinely.

Who cares about the 3 and 5 seeds!? I wanna know who was left out. Was there any bubble drama?

@Redstic15 doesn’t have a dog in the fight. He’s a ref in the league and likely wanted to call some games that weren’t stacked.

Coaches rank them. At least that’s how it’s been previously.
