The Illinois High School Association (IHSA) released sub-sectional seeds for the upcoming boys basketball state series on Thursday.
Sherrard earned the No. 1 seed in the local 2A sub-sectional, which splits 10 teams into two regionals. Riverdale grabbed the No. 2 seed, IVC was seeded No. 3, and Farmington rounded out the top four seeds at No. 4. Kewanee was tabbed as the No. 5 seed, Mercer County was seeded No. 6, Hall was seeded No. 7, and the No. 8-10 seeds are Monmouth-Roseville, Princeton, and Rockridge in that order.
Farmington and St. Bede are hosting the two regionals in the sub-sectional. IVC is the sectional site, while the super-sectional is at Sterling.
In 1A, Orion was seeded No. 3 in their sub-sectional. The rest of the top four consisted of No. 1 Newman, No. 2 Eastland, and No. 4 Annawan. The regionals are hosted by Bureau Valley and Alleman, the sectional is at Orion, and the super-sectional is at Western Illinois University.
The IHSA updated its procedure for splitting sub-sectional teams into the two regional sites this season. Teams will be separated based on their true seeds, unless there is a hosting conflict.
The IHSA will release the full boys basketball postseason pairings on Friday afternoon.
The boys basketball postseason tips off on Monday, Feb. 16.
