UPDATED: LHS Hockey Teams Continue Waiting Game to Learn Tourney Pairings
Details need to be ironed out before Lexington boys, girls squads learn post-season fates.
The MIAA released seedings and pairings for the boys’ and girls’ sectional and state tournaments on Saturday, but that doesn’t mean the waiting is over for the teams.
Some details still need to be sorted out before both the Minutemen teams know exactly who, where, and in the case of the boys’ squad, when they’ll open the state tournament.
On the girls’ side, the Minutemen earned the No. 7 seed. Only No. 1 St. Mary’s of Lynn (19-0-3) and Middlesex League foe No. 2 Woburn (18-1-1) have the same amount or few losses than Lexington, which finished the regular season at 14-2-4.
