Central Massachusetts boys basketball seedings

Good afternoon and welcome to the MIAA headquarters in Franklin for the Central Massachusetts Boys High School Basketball Tournament seedings meeting.
The meeting is getting ready to start in a couple of minutes and we will publish the seeds for all teams in the Division 1, 2 and 3 tournaments.
As a note before the seeds are announced, the schedule for this year’s semifinals and finals have changed from last year due to a robotics competition at WPI. Here is the new schedule: the Division 1 and 2 boys semifinals will take place in the afternoon and evening on Sunday, March 6. The Division 3 boys semifinals will take place at 6 and 7:45 p.m. on Monday, March 7.
All of the girls basketball finals, along with the Division 2 and 3 boys finals will be played at Fitchburg State University on Saturday, March 12.
The Central Massachusetts Boys Division 1 final, which is normally played on the Friday before the other five finals, will instead take place on Sunday, March 13 at WPI.
Ticket prices remain the same for the three college venues. Prices are $7 for students and seniors, $10 for adults and children under 5 get in for free.
