With Region play set to be concluded by tonight, the following should be an almost accurate forecast of 1st Round Match-Ups in the AAAA Upper State Playoffs

1st Round

TL Hanna - Region 1 - #1
Hillcrest - Region 2 - #4

Fort Mill - Region 3 - #2
Ridgeview - Region 4 - #3

Mauldin - Region 2 - #1
Westside/Easley - Reg. 1 - #4

Blythewood - Region 4 - #2
Nation Ford - Region 3 - #3

Clover - Region 3 - #1
Rock Hill - Region 4 - #4

Wren - Region 1 - #2
Spartanburg - Region 2 - #3

Spring Valley - Region 4 - #1
Northwestern - Region 3 - #4

Dorman - Region 2 - #2
Greenwood - Region 1 - #3

Some seeds are in question, and I seeded according to the following:

For Fort Mill and Clover. Both teams split the regular
season series and scored 2 goals against each other. Clover
only allowed 2 region goals, whereas Fort Mill allowed 4.
On goals against in the region, Clover would get the #1 seed.

For Nation Ford and Northwestern. Nation Ford won 2-1 on 4/27, and Northwestern won 2-1 in PKs. The PK game counts
as a 1-1 game in the head to head goals against calculation,
meaning Nation Ford would earn the #3 seed via the first
tie break, head to head goals against.

Rock Hill owns the head to head goals against advantage
vs Lancaster and should earn the #4 seed for Region 4.

Mauldin owns the head to head goals against advantage 4-2
over Dorman and should earn the #1 seed for Region 2.

For Region I. Greenwood is 4-5 with a game remaining against Wren. They own the head to head goals against
average vs Easley at 5-3, and are tied with Westside at
4-4. Easley and Westside play tonight. Should Easley
win, or lose by 1, they will earn the head to head
goals against or outright 4th seed over Westside. Should
Westside win by 2, they would tie in head to head goals
against vs Easley and Greenwood, and based on the 2nd
region tie-break, goals against in the region, Westside
would earn the #4 seed and Greenwood the #3. Unless
the 2nd tie-break is goals for in the region, in which
case Westside would earn the #3 seed and Greenwood the #4.

Coaches from Regions 2,3, and 4, please correct me as
there is a good chance I am wrong with Region tie-break
information for your regions.

Pardon my ignorance, but am I reading this right that Westside WILL NOT be a part of the playoffs? If so, what gives with this team? My goodness, I thought WHS was a shoe-in for region honors this year based on their hype.
