Hartford Girls, Argyle Boys Nab #1 Seed As Section II Tournament Pairings Are Announced
This has always been my favorite time of year as a hoops fan. The sectionals. The NCAA Tournament. You can't beat it in my opinion. Wednesday, after a one year hiatus Section II announced the pairings for their high school baskeball championships. The Hartford girls basketball team was named the #1 seed in Class D and will be the overwhelming favorite to take the crown. Argyle, fresh of their ADK title game win over Lake George was named the #1 seed for the Class D boys tournament and also should prove very tough to beat.
