Statewide, across all classifications, the home team (theoretically the favored team) won 51 out of 62 region quarterfinal games.
Of the 11 "upsets" in the round, 9 of those were in #4/#5 games. The only #6 seeds to defeat #3 seeds were Flowers over Roosevelt and College Park Academy over Friendly.

Ohhhh, that's rough for my guys, state title game one year then 21 total points in a full game (loss) the next year. Ouch.

Ohhhh, that's rough for my guys, state title game one year then 21 total points in a full game (loss) the next year. Ouch. Damascus had a really good team in 2022-2023, but it was very senior heavy. I think the Hornets' top 8 rotational players graduated last year. When I saw Damascus play this season, it was a very thin varsity roster, suiting up 7 guys for some games. The good news for the program is that the JV team was strong this year. I would imagine Damascus will improve next year.
