Geneva (7-11), Madison (4-14) and Riverside (4-13) are seeded ninth, 11th and 12th, respectively at Euclid.
The Dragons will face a familiar foe in a sectional semifinal March 2 in sixth-seeded North (9-8), which Lakeside just defeated, 54-49, in a Premier Athletic Conference clash Friday night at Lakeside Gymnasium.

The top seed at Lakeland is Collinwood (13-5), while John Hay (12-5) is seeded second and Harvey (9-8) fourth.
Rounding out the seeds there are East Tech at five, Notre Dame-Cathedral Latin (7-9) at eight and Beachwood (8-10) is 10th.
In Division III action at Howland, the area’s two representatives — Grand Valley and Pymatuning Valley — are seeded sixth and seventh, respectively, and, you guessed it, will play in a sectional semifinal on March 1.
