Bedford (14-2) 2. Pinkerton (14-2) 3. Bishop Guertin (15-2) 4. Souhegan (15-3) 5. Merrimack (9-6) 6. Londonderry (10-7) 7. Exeter (9-8) 8. Nashua North (8-9) **Eliminated:** Hollis Brookline (6-8), Concord (6-10), Salem (4-9), Nashua South (4-12), Manchester Central (2-13), Dover (2-14), Manchester Memorial (0-13). **Remaining games:** Exeter at Salem, May 27; Londonderry at Pinkerton, May 27; Nashua North at Merrimack, May 27; Nashua South at Manchester Memorial, May 27. **Playoff scenarios:** If Pinkerton beats Londonderry, it's the No. 1 seed; if Pinkerton loses, Bedford is the top seed. A loss would also drop the Astros to fourth, moving Bishop Guertin and Souhegan up one spot. A Merrimack win over North gives the Tomahawks the fifth seed, regardless of what Londonderry does against Pinkerton. If Merrimack loses, and the Lancers win, they'll be the fifth seed. Exeter and North will be the seventh and eighth seeds, respectively. **Noteworthy:** A win by South over Memorial in the finale would be the Panthers' fifth win of the season, the most the program has had since at least 2009. **Quarterfinal matchups** - No. 8 Nashua North at No. 1 Bedford - No. 5 Merrimack at No. 4 Souhegan - No. 7 Exeter at No. 2 Pinkerton - No. 6 Londonderry at No. 3 Bishop Guertin ### Division II Top eight teams qualify for the quarterfinals. 1. Portsmouth (15-3) 2. Windham (11-4) 3. Hanover (11-5) 4. John Stark (10-4) 5. Winnacunnet (11-5) 6. Goffstown (8-6) 7. Kingswood (7-6) 8. Timberlane (6-9) **In the mix:** Keene (5-9) **Eliminated:** Pembroke (2-12), Merrimack Valley (1-13), Spaulding (0-15). **Remaining games:** Hanover at Goffstown, May 27; Timberlane at Keene, May 27. **Playoff scenarios:** Portsmouth has clinched the No. 1 seed. A Hanover win against Goffstown would give the Marauders the No. 2 seed and drop Windham to third. A loss for Hanover means Windham is second, John Stark moves up to third, Winnacunnet moves up to fourth and the Marauders fall all the way to fifth. A Goffstown win would keep the Grizzlies in sixth and Kingswood seventh; a loss would mean the two teams switch spots. Timberlane needs to beat Keene to get in, otherwise a win for the Blackbirds gives them the final playoff spot. **Quarterfinal matchups** - No. 8 Timberlane at No. 1 Portsmouth - No. 5 Winnacunnet at No. 4 John Stark - No. 7 Kingswood at No. 2 Windham - No. 6 Goffstown at No. 3 Hanover ### Division III Top eight teams qualify for the quarterfinals 1. Laconia (14-2) 2. St. Thomas (13-2) 3. Derryfield (12-2) 4. Kearsarge (12-3) 5. Bow (10-3) 6. Pelham (10-3) 7. Oyster River (7-6) 8. Lebanon (6-7) **In the mix:** Gilford (6-8), Hopkinton (5-8) **Eliminated:** ConVal (4-8), Coe-Brown (4-10), Bishop Brady (3-10), Plymouth (2-11), Belmont (1-12), Campbell (0-13). **Remaining games:** ConVal at Belmont, May 24 (no result reported); Lebanon at Bishop Brady, May 27; Pelham at Bow, May 27; Hopkinton at Campbell, May 27; Derryfield at ConVal, May 27; Plymouth at Oyster River, May 27. **Playoff scenarios:** Laconia has clinched the top seed in the tournament. A win over ConVal would give Derryfield the No. 2 seed thanks to the head-to-head tiebreaker with St. Thomas, who would be the No. 3\. A Derryfield loss to ConVal means St. Thomas is the No. 2, while Kearsarge would move to No. 3 and Derryfield would fall to No. 4\. The winner of Bow-Pelham gets the fifth seed, while the loser goes to No. 6\. Oyster River is the seventh seed regardless, thanks to its win over Lebanon earlier this year. Lebanon gets in with a win, or a loss and a Hopkinton loss. But a Lebanon loss and a Hopkinton win would give the Hawks the final playoff spot. **Quarterfinal matchups** - No. 8 Lebanon at No. 1 Laconia - No. 5 Bow at No. 4 Kearsarge - No. 7 Oyster River at No. 2 St. Thomas - No. 6 Pelham at No. 3 Derryfield
