Senior outside hitter Melissa Bush and the Highland Hornets will be seeded very high at the Barberton Division I District. Cuyahoga Falls, Wadsworth and Medina should round out the top four at the site when votes are cast Sunday.
The OHSAA Tournament draws will be held Sunday, making this the first step toward state for every school in Summit, Medina and Portage Counties.
Here is a look at where teams from the SportsInk.com coverage area will be playing in the postseason, along with state-ranked teams at each site.
We'll also project the top seed in each district -- bearing in mind that the best team often does not receive the honor because of politics, past tournament failures, and petulant feuds among coaches.
