(12) Lakeside at (5) Chardon

What: Division I sectional semifinal

When: 7, Feb. 15

Where: Chardon

Records: Chardon 12-10, Lakeside 8-14

For the record: Winner faces the winner of MentorShak­er Heights in a sectional final on Feb. 20

For the record: They didn’t play in the regular season, but the Hilltopper­s played a tougher schedule. The Hilltopper­s’ defense is relentless. Sam Liechty (9.8 ppg) and Kalya Noerr (7.1) lead the team in scoring, but Chardon is balanced in that department.

Kampf’s pick: Chardon

For the record: The Red Raider struggled against CVC competitio­n in that West G, Perry and Geneva - the top three seeds in this district - are in their league. But Harvey is very much improved, led by Tamia Alston (10.1 ppg) and Hailey Davis (22 3-pointers).

Kampf’s pick: Glenville

For the record: Forget the 9-13 record and the six-seed. Gilmour is good enough to win this district. That schedule they play is brutal. The 1-2 punch of Maddie Pulletti and Liz Bender is tough, and guard Megan Duffy is a fine distributo­r.

Kampf’s pick: Gilmour

On deck:

For the record: The Bombers play exceptiona­l defense and have some lengthy shot-blockers in Graci Skala and Rachel Apshago. Guard Catara DeJarnette is a multi-faceted player. Orange has 6-foot senior Kaydan Lawson, a dynamic player who can carry a team. This could be a tight one. Kampf’s pick: Kenston
