Division 2 Rankings, Possible Seeding


Heading into the home stretch, East Boston is likely to claim the top seed as they are 17-0 overall. Woburn rebounded from their loss to Winchester and shutout Hamilton-Wenham yesterday.

If these standings are correct, the top seeds in D2 North are likely East Boston, Melrose, Hamilton-Wenham, Danvers, Lynnfield (17-3, not shown), and AC...followed by Marblehead, and Burlington. 

Historically, the Boston teams have not fared well in the tournament. If this is right, Burlington could advance into the bracket #1 slot with a quarterfinal win over East Boston. 

The Central has traditional powers Westborough and Medfield as well as Medway. Don't judge by records as the Central teams face tough regional standouts like Hopkinton and often perennial D1 champion Barnstable. 

In the South, Duxbury and Hingham have gotten ink but don't sleep on NDA (Hingham) which plays a killer schedule and has played well over the second half. 

Legendary basketball coach Don Meyer reminds us, "It's not who you play, it's how you play."
