Section Winner: Tartan. This won't be easy for anyone. The top 4 here are as good as any section. Seantrel Henderson and CDH are as talented as anyone here. I'd definitely want to see Seantrel Henderson or Ryan Duxbury go at it with Mike Rostampour. Seeding here will definitely be interesting with 5 Suburban East teams voting against 3 Classic Suburban teams. If Stillwater or CDH wins the Suburban East outright, then I'd expect them to be voted the top seed by their peers. I think Tartan is the best team but against the other 3 contenders they have no matchup for the big guy. Not to mention they'd have to overcome that not once, but twice. Great constrast of styles. The semis and finals are at the new East Ridge gym rather than Concordia-SP or Arlington which should be a great venue.
