More recently, GV finished ahead of Haverford in the league tournament despite missing multiple starters. Thirdly, Haverford’s dual meet schedule looked significantly weaker than GV— who is their best win outside of GV?   No horse in the race for me, and no insight on how the meeting went. Just thought it was an interesting case.  As it turns out, GV was the only lower seed to advance to the quarterfinals, so maybe there’s some justification in that, too. GV always seems to get stronger in January once all those football players (most of their lineup every year) shake off some rust/get on weight.

You are right Delco, Haverford did get hosed. They are having a great season and got disrespected because of reputations.

While I agree with your statement, it may also result in 3 D1 teams making it to the final 8 in Altoona. Most likely Boyertown and CR South (pretty clearly the 2 best / most complete teams) will finish 1st and 3rd (in some order) and I would make both of them a solid favorite to make it from those spots in the state bracket. Whoever comes in 2nd should also make it, but would not have been favored if they had come in 3rd.

4D chess by the committee.
