The members of NEPSHIA met this morning to discuss the tie-breaker scenario playing out amongst a four way tie for the 7th and 8th seeds of the Elite 8 tournament. The conclusion of that meeting was that Cushing would get the #7 seed and Holderness the #8 seed which then sent a wripple effect across the other prep tournament seedings.
Elite 8
#8 Holderness @ #1 KUA
#7 Cushing @ #2 Avon
#6 St. Sebastian’s @ #3 Belmont Hill
#5 Salisbury @ #4 Dexter
Large School
#8 Berkshire @ #1 Brunswick
#7 Loomis Chaffee @ #2 Kent School
#6 Andover @ #3 Exeter
#5 Northfield Mount Hermon @ Nobles & Greenough
- The swtich between Loomis and Andover here in seeding is to accomodate NEPSHIA guidlines to avoid neutral site games despite Loomis having a higher RPI than Andover at year end.
