The girls state tournament brackets have been released. The biggest surprise, though it hasn’t been a surprise for a week, is that Wayne Hills earned the top seed in the North 1, Group 3 bracket over undefeated Northern Highlands.

Personally I think that is wrong. But the power points, as my colleague J.J.Conrad pointed out in a very in-depth post, went Wayne Hills way so you can’t fault them for that and I don’t. I just think anyone who knows anything about soccer would agree Highlands should have been No. 1.

Besides Wayne Hills, New Milford, Pascack Hills, Lyndhurst and IHA also received top seeds. J.J. is going to bring a more in-depth look at the state tournament brackets soon on this blog. But we wanted to get you the seeds as soon as possible. Check below to see where you’re team is seeded. Locals in bold.
