North Notes: Although Central Catholic earned the No. 1 seed in Division 1, the second-ranked Concord-Carlisle have the stronger team heading into the postseason. Both teams have only fallen to teams outside of Eastern Mass. The Raiders lost to St. Peter-Marian, and the Patriots lost to Gardner. Acton-Boxboro deserves its third spot. In Division 2, Stoneham should have been the No. 1 seed, with Tewksbury up higher than ninth. St. Mary's should sit atop the Division 3 seedings.

South Notes: The top spot for Division 1 really is a toss up between Norwood and King Philip. KP has a loss, but it was in an eight-inning thriller to undefeated Milford (20-0) - possibly the strongest team in the state and the No. 1 Central Mass. Division 1 team. They also have some of the best pitching in the state, with the Mustangs showcasing Ali Maloof and Lauren Duggan, and the Warriors touting Maggie Quealy. In Division 2, Cardinal Spellman is handed the sixth seed, but expect the Cardinals to go deep into the tourney.

Tim Daggett?) and Curry College graduate (a proud Colonel!), Larson is the sports editor for the Globe's regional sections: South, West and North, as well as a frequent contributor on the college beat.
