The Section 2 boys' basketball postseason brackets have been released, setting the stage for the upcoming playoff action. Top seeds include Christian Brothers Academy and Amsterdam, with the first-round games scheduled for February 24 and 25, and championship contests to be held March 6 and 7 at Harding Mazzotti Arena in Glens Falls, according to Yahoo Sports.
Alongside Section 2, the Ohio High School Athletic Association (OHSAA) announced final district seeds for boys basketball Divisions I and II, which were determined using the MaxPreps Rating Percentage Index (RPI). District tournaments begin Monday in the Dayton area, with district finals slated for March 6–8, regional finals on March 14, and state championships March 19–22 at Wright State University and the University of Dayton, as reported by Yahoo Sports.
The OHSAA district brackets feature key schools like Butler High School, with notable venues including the Cintas Center and UD Arena hosting important district and regional games. These seedings provide a clear roadmap for teams’ paths through the postseason across the state’s competitive divisions, according to reporting from Yahoo Sports.
Meanwhile, the USA Today Ohio Super 25 rankings, compiled from votes by sports media across Ohio, have named Lakota West as the top boys basketball team for the 2025-26 season. This ranking reflects statewide perceptions of team strength heading into the final months of the high school basketball season.
Observers will be watching closely as both local Section 2 matchups kick off and Ohio’s district tournaments progress, with the seeding and rankings providing a framework for potential championship contenders. The upcoming weeks will clarify which teams can capitalize on their positions and advance toward the state finals in late March.
