JACKSON, Ohio — The high school postseason is just around the corner, but the roads for the southeast district tournament were paved Sunday afternoon at Jackson High School during the 2013 OHSAA Southeast District Boys Basketball Tournament selection meeting in the Apple City.

Six area schools — Gallia Academy, Meigs, River Valley, Southern, South Gallia and Eastern — now know where their opening games will be and who they will be facing in those matchups.

Four of the six programs will start the 2013 postseason needing one win to advance to districts, while the two others will need to win twice to advance to the Ohio University Convocation Center in Athens.

The Ohio Valley Publishing area had only one Ohio high school earn a seed higher than five, as Southern (9-11) came away with the four seed in the Division IV Meigs bracket. The Tornadoes will face county rival and fifth-seeded Eastern (7-13) in a sectional final at 6:15 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 26, at Larry R. Morrison Gymnasium.
