If there are no Sullivan Rule qualifiers, then sixteen teams qualify for tournament play and Melrose (5) hosts Whittier (12) later this week. The most compelling first round match could be Lynn Classical (4) hosting Bedford (13) with an 11.4 Maxpreps.com strength of schedule differential. Another "upset special" could feature O'Bryant hosting Newburyport with a 15.5 strength of schedule differential.
