Last Night's Boys' Regional Scores

Eric did a good job last night of reminding us that for a lot of schools -- like Heath or Ballard Memorial -- making it to the regional semi-finals (a.k.a. the round of 64) is a huge deal. I've been following Heath since about 1979, and the Pirates have only made it to the regional semi-finals maybe 4 or 5 times during that period -- and they've never made it past the regional semi-finals. So congrats to the 24 teams who won last night, and condolences to the 24 losers. There are now 90 teams still playing for the title:
