With some Saturday games still to be played, including Taft and Withrow's meeting, some Greater Cincinnati teams still have a range of seeds they could finish with.
The Enquirer will update this file as the playoff picture becomes clearer.
Below are the first-round playoff matchup projections in Cincinnati from JoeEitel.com, which are considered unofficial until an OHSAA release.
Greater Cincinnati OHSAA playoffs first-round games
Division I, Region 4
Byes: No. 1 Princeton; No. 2 Elder; No. 3 Lakota West; No. 4 Moeller
No. 12 Lakota East at No. 5 Winton Woods
No. 11 Fairfield at No. 6 St. Xavier
No. 10 Little Miami at No. 7 Springboro
No. 9 Middletown at No. 8 Lebanon
Division II, Region 8
Byes: No. 1 Anderson; No. 2/3 Harrison
No. 12 Withrow/Butler at No. 5 Troy
No. 11 Edgewood/Butler/Withrow at No. 6 Columbus West
No. 10 La Salle/Edgewood at No. 7 Talawanda
No. 9 Withrow/La Salle at No. 8 Badin
Withrow is currently the No. 12 seed. With a win over Taft, the Tigers would be the No. 9 seed and would push down La Salle, Edgewood and Butler to their lowest seeds.
Division III, Region 12
Byes: No. 3 McNicholas
No. 12 Monroe at No. 5 Miami Trace
No. 11 Alter at No. 6 Indian Hill/Hughes
No. 10 Goshen at No. 7 Indian Hill/Hughes
No. 9 Northwest at No. 8 Unioto
Division IV, Region 16
Byes: No. 1/2/3 Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy; No. 1/2 Wyoming; No. 4 North College Hill
No. 12 Clinton-Massie/Taft at No. 5 Urbana
No. 11 New Richmond at No. 6 Wilmington
While the exact seeding of the teams with byes is mostly undecided, the teams that received them are not. Taft's impending game is the question. A Senators' win over Withrow would put them at No. 12, taking out Clinton-Massie.
Division V, Region 20
Byes: No. 2 Williamsburg; No. 4 Waynesville
No. 12 Preble Shawnee at No. 5 Summit Country Day
No. 11 Greeneview at No. 6 Fenwick
