Harrison Basketball Faces Tough Section I Bracket

The Harrison boys and girls varsity basketball teams will begin postseason play with out-of-bracket games this week.

Harrison's varsity basketball teams will enter playoff action this week with a difficult road ahead, needing wins in outbracket playoff games this week just to advance to the first round of the Section I tournament.

The varsity boys team enters this week as the 19th seed in the 25-team Class A bracket. The boys will visit 14th seeded Panas on Wednesday, the winner of that game will visit third-seeded Eastchester Friday night.

Even with upset wins in the first two games, the Huskies would need a third upset on Feb. 22 to qualify for the semifinals at the Westchester County Center in White Plains. (see full bracket below)
