Here are a few things that appear likely for Hamilton County Teams:
>>>Class 4A No. 1 Hamilton Southeastern (20-0) will be and should be cast as the favorite at Sectional 8, arguably the toughest schedule in the state.
>>>3A No. 6 Hamilton Heights (18-4) is the team to beat in Sectional 24 at Yorktown.
>>>Guerin Catholic (16-7), winner of six games in succession, should get a shot at No. 2 Mt. Vernon (17-5) in the championship game if the Lady Golden Eagles can avenge a season loss to Bishop Chatard in a 2A Sectional 26 semifinal bye game.
>>>Sheridan (14-5), which has won eight straight games, would appear to have an excellent shot of surviving 2A Sectional 38 at Delphi. The Lady Blackhawks have beaten three sectional opponents, but they meet first-time foe Fountain Central in the opener.
>>>University, despite a 4-15 record, is 2-1 against sectional teams in Class A Sectional 58 at Bethesda Christian (and the loss was by one point to Deaf School), could spring a surprise.
