Local Hoops Teams Set For Playoffs

The basketball postseason is about to begin for the boys and girls teams from Parkville, Overlea and Loch Raven high schools.

The schools won't, however, play one another—each is in a different Maryland Public Secondary Schools Athletic Association classification, based upon school population.

Check the .pdf documents in the gallery above to see the full bracket for each division.

Boys and girls games both start this afternoon—here's a rundown of who's playing, and where:

• in Class 1A girls basketball, Overlea's 10th-seed Lady Falcons will take on seventh seed Havre de Grace in Harford County. The winner is set to battle No. 2 New Town on its home court in Owings Mills on Feb. 27
• in Class 1A boys basketball, the fourth-seed Overlea Falcons have earned a first round bye and will take on Havre de Grace at home on Feb. 28. The winner of the Overlea-Havre de Grace contest moves on to play the winner of a contest between No. 3 Bohemia Manor and No. 6 Sparrows Point.
• in Class 2A girls basketball, Loch Raven's 8th-seed Lady Raiders take on Dundalk at home. If they pull out a win, they'll have to travel to face No. 1 Randallstown on Feb. 27.
