Quarterfinals Matchups Are Set

Top-seeded Longwood hung on against Sachem North Tuesday night. Click here for a full recap.

So the quarterfinals set for next Tuesday are as follows:

1. Longwood

vs.

9. Patchogue-Medford

4. Lindenhurst

vs.

5. Bay Shore

3. Bellport

vs. 

6. North Babylon

7. Walt Whitman

vs.

15. Deer Park

Obviously the big surprise is No. 15 Deer Park upsetting No. 2 Brentwood. The Indians fell in double overtime, 84-81, for the quick exit. It's not terribly surprising when you consider the skill of Josh Malone, who poured in 29 points for Deer Park in the win. I saw him this year light up Riverhead and he can really score. J.J. Moore added 28 for Brentwood, but it wasn't enough. Brentwood returns most of its team around Moore so the Indians will be back next year.

Last year in AA the higher seed won every game throughout the bracket. Not so this year. I don't really consider No. 9 Pat-Med winning as an upset, though. The Raiders are a legit team, their record was just hurt by playing in League I. Should be a good one next week at Longwood.
