If the season ended today: girls basketball - magic numbers (CC, C and D updates)

Continuing the subject from last night, let's make some guesses on how the brackets are going to pan out this year.

Class CC

I could see the committee bumping Voorheesville higher than the 8 seed because of their standing in the Colonial Council, but on the strengths of wins and losses, they are lower than Galway, Canajoharie and Spa Catholic.

Opening round
Byes - 1 Maple Hill, 2 Hoosic Valley, 3 Schenectady Christian, 4 Albany Academy for Girls
(Chatham and Hoosick Falls have 1-15 records this season and may decline to participate. For the sake of the experiment, I'm including them here as the 11 and 12 seeds)
8 Voorheesville vs. 9 Corinth
5 Galway vs. 12 Chatham
7 Saratoga Central Catholic vs. Cambridge
6 Canajoharie vs. 11 Hoosick Falls

Quarterfinals
1 Maple Hill vs. 8 Voorheesville
4 AA Girls vs. 5 Galway
2 Hoosic Valley vs. 7 Spa Catholic
3 Schenectady Christian vs. 6 Canajoharie

Semifinals
1 Maple Hill vs. 4 AA Girls
2 Hoosic Valley vs. 3 Schenectady Christian

Finals
1 Maple Hills vs. 2 Hoosic Valley

Class C

Like Class CC, some of the teams at the bottom may decline to participate, but I've included them all for the sage of the exercise.

Opening round
Byes - 1 Greenwich, 2 Waterford-Halfmoon, 3 Berne-Knox-Westerlo
4 Rensselaer vs. 13 Hadley-Luzerne
5 Lake George vs. 12 Middleburg
8 Fort Plain vs. 9 Schoharie
7 Berlin vs. 10 Mayfield
6 Duanesburg vs. 11 Warrensburg

Quarterfinals
1 Greenwich vs. 8 Fort Plain
4 Rensselaer vs. 5 Lake George
2 Waterford vs. 7 Berlin
3 B-K-W vs. 6 Duanesburg

Semifinals
1 Greenwich vs. 4 Rensselaer
2 Waterford vs. 3 B-K-W

Finals
1 Greenwich vs. 2 Waterford

Class CC/C Playoff
Greenwich vs. Maple Hill

Class D

Like the other classes, some of the bottom teams will not compete in sectionals. I'm leaving Salem, Northville, Fort Ann, North Warren, New Lebanon, St. Johnsville and Hawthorne Valley out of the playoffs, but some of them may chose to participate.

Play-in game
9 Doane Stuart vs. 8 Fort Edward

Quarterfinals
1 Germantown vs. 8 Fort Edward
4 Argyle vs. 5 Sharon Springs
2 Whitehall vs. 7 Loudonville Christian
3 Heatly vs. 6 Hartford

Semifinals
1 Germantown vs. 4 Argyle
2 Whitehall vs. 3 Heatly

Finals
1 Germantown vs. 2 Whitehall

Again, these are just for fun. Upsets are sure to happen. Until the brackets come out on Wednesday, Feb. 17, have fun guessing how things will turn out.
