Girls Hoop Walkertology

Here's the latest, if the season ended today. I have some what-ifs posted in the notes, as well as a playoff picture update or two. Also, this accounts for all of Central's forfeits and their losing status as a tourney team.

Also, the Division 2 rankings do not include Cathedral's schedule game vs. Sci-Tech on Monday, as I can't find a result anywhere.

Drop me a line at jpignatiello@gazettenet.com.

Division 1
1. Amherst (1-1-1)
2. Holyoke (2-2-3)
3. East Longmeadow (3-3-2)
4. Pittsfield (4-5-5)
5. Chicopee Comp (5-4-7)
T6. Ludlow (6-6-6)
T6. Minnechaug (7-7-4) - Ludlow gets No. 6 seed because it wins two categories.
NOTES: If Minnechaug beats Holyoke Thursday it gets the No. 6 seed. ... Holyoke seems to have the No. 2 seed clinched even if it loses to Minnechaug and EL beats Hamp. ... Longmeadow was eliminated Tuesday with its loss to Agawam and Comp's win over Westfield, clinching second in the Suburban for the Colts.

Division 2

1. Palmer (1-1-1)
T2. Frontier (2-2-3)
T2. Monument (3-2-2)
4. Wahconah (5-4-4)
5. Drury (3-5-6)
6. Cathedral (6-6-5)
7. Belchertown (7-7-7)
8. Hampshire (8-8-8)
9. Mahar (8-9-10)
10. Mount Greylock (11-11-8)
11. Athol (10-10-11)
NOTES: Greylock got in with wins over Drury and St. Joseph's on Sunday and Monday. ... Lots of craziness here with what-ifs. ... If Cathedral beat(s) Sci-Tech and Commerce and Drury loses to Pittsfield, it looks like Cathedral moves to No. 5 and Drury is No. 6. ... It also looks like the Wahconah-Monument game on Wednesday is for the third seed, but there could be some outside forces that I'm missing there. ... I'm also seeing a chance for Monument (and maybe even Wahconah) to catch Frontier if the Red Hawks lose to Athol on Thursday.

Division 3
1. Lee (1-1-1)
2. Smith Academy (2-2-2)
3. Sabis (3-2-3)
T4. Ware (4-4-5)
T4. Hopkins (4-5-4)
6. Monson (6-6-6)
7. McCann (7-7-7)
8. Holyoke Catholic (8-8-8)
9. Gateway (TCL winner)
10. Pathfinder (TCL)
11. Franklin Tech (TCL)
12. Dean Tech (TCL)
NOTES: Looks like if both Ware (vs. Granby) and Hopkins (vs. St. Joe) have the same results in their final games (both win or both lose), it will come down to a tiebreaker for the fourth spot. It won't be by categories as that is tied, so it could be the third category, which the committee has used before or it could be something else. ... Lee, Smith and Sabis have wrapped up top three spots. ... Also of interest is that it looks like even if Catholic beats McCann on Wednesday, sweeping the season series and winning the league title, it won't be enough for the Gaels to catch the Hornets in the Walker. So does the tourney committee flip them? I know they've done it before.
