Dutch Fork will get West Florence. Spring Valley, by virtue of last week's win over Dutch Fork, will draw Wando. Make sense?

Dutch Fork has Region IV-AAAA's 4th seed and Ridge View has the 5th seed regardless of what happens in the remaining games. The order of the top 3 seeds is technically still undecided between Irmo, Blythewood, and Spring Valley. Blythewood and Irmo each have 2 region games remaining and Spring Valley has 1. Irmo can clinch the 1 seed by winning one of their last 2 and, assuming they do, Blythewood can clinch the 2 seed by winning 1 of 2. Spring Valley hosts Irmo Wednesday night. The Lady Vikings won the first match 3-1.

Blythewood still staring at a possible first-round state playoff match at Wando. Pretty tough "penalty" for finishing 3rd, when the 4th place finisher gets West Flo.

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

Dutch Fork and Spring Valley, (along with Ridgeview), are "lowerstate" teams by virtue of finishing 3-5 in Region 4.
