Girls hoops bracketology

For years bracketology has become a mainstay in the months leading up to college basketball's March Madness and now it has reached high school, thanks to MSG Varsity's Kevin Devaney Jr.

Bracketology is foreshadowing where a team's seed will be in the postseason, using the various formulas the powers that be use to decide each team's fate.

Currently, Devaney has, if the season ended today, the Irvington girls basketball squad as the No. 1, Dobbs Ferry No. 2 and Hastings the No. 10 seeds in the Class B tournament.
