It's a shame, but the current realignment will create the worst rewards for strong regular seasons by some AAAA girls teams than any other year in AAAA.

If there was ever a time to argue/lobby for a points system to determine seedings, this would be the year.

Some region champions are getting horrible first round match ups, while some third and fourth seeds are getting very favorable first round draws.

The upper state should feasibly be seeded 1-16 as follows, with the1 seed playing the 16 seed and so on:

1. Mauldin
2. Riverside
3. Irmo
4. TL Hanna
5. Clover
6. Blythewood
7. Spartanburg
8. JL Mann
9. Dutch Fork
10. Northwestern
11. Spring Valley
12. Wren
13. Dorman
14. Hillcrest
15. Greenwood
16. Lancaster
