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.
Posted from: 70.121.249.66
January 22nd, 2008 22:11
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
Posted from: 69.133.147.158
January 23rd, 2008 20:11
Durham JE dropped (3-0) to Lake Highland HA in Octas, not quarters.
