    Congrats Alex, Gurdane, Hana, Luis and Shashin.

    From what I remember, Durham JE advanced to octas, Hillsborough SC advanced to octas and in fact quarters I think (lost to Hana?). My pairings were stolen so I really can’t remember the rest.

    Yes, quarters should read:

    Pace AZ def. Trinity Prep JN
    Lake Highland HA def. Durham JE
    Lake Highland GB def. Hillsborough SC
    Stoneman Douglas LP def. Taravella NS

    Durham JE dropped (3-0) to Lake Highland HA in Octas, not quarters.
