XENIA — Five Greene County teams will enter sectional tournament play with a winning record this season as all learned their postseason path on Sunday.
Bellbrook received the highest seed after being voted No. 2 in Division I’s North grouping of the Southwest District. The Golden Eagles had a 10-game winning streak earlier this season and remains undefeated in the Southwestern Buckeye League. Bellbrook plays for an outright league title at home on Tuesday.
