When: 1, Feb. 22

Where: AOA

Records: AOA 13-7

On deck: Winner plays the winner of (2) Cornerstone and (7) St. John in a district semifinal at 6p.m. on Feb. 26.

For the record: Brookfield crushed sixth-seeded Fairport in its tournament opener. Audrey Reardon scored 21 to lead her team, with Sophia Hook scoring 16 (including two 3-pointers). But AOA is a cut above. Tai Roberts (17.3 ppg) is fast, explosive and can put points on the board and June Ruiz has 24 3-pointers this year. Can Brookfield keep up? Kampf’s pick: AOA

NO. 7 ST. JOHN VS. NO. 2 CORNERSTONE

What: Division IV sectional final

When: 7, Feb. 22

Where: Fairport Records: Cornerstone 175, St. John 10-13

On deck: Winner plays the winner of (3) AOA and (11) Brookfield in a district semifinal at 6 p.m. on Feb. 26.

For the record: The Heralds advanced with a forfeit win over Newbury,

which was struck down with the flu this week and didn’t have enough players for the sectional semifinal. Emily Cevera is a 1,000-point career scorer, and both Sydney Carpenter and Lati Fleming can score. But Cornerstone is a juggernaut, with Madison Cloonan, Michaela Cloonan, Kailey Tyna and Riley Stopp all averaging double figures and the Patriots featuring a smothering, relentless defense. This one won’t be close.

Kampf’s pick: Cornerstone

NO. 6 BERKSHIRE VS. NO. 3 KIRTLAND

What: Division III sectional final

When: 1, Feb. 22

Where: Kirtland

For the record: The Badgers cranked up the defense in their sectional semifinal win over Conneaut, 37-27. Kirtland won both regular-season matchups against Berkshire, 47-13 and 49-28. The Badgers, led offensively by Lexi Boyk and Lydia Kastor - both scoring in double digits - are going to have to find a way to ramp up the offense against the defensive-stingy Hornets. Kirtland is led by Julia Camino (8.5 ppg) and Lauren Snyder (12.7 ppg).

On deck: Winner advances to play the winner of (2) Garrettsville and (7) Crestwood in a district semifinal at 6 p.m. on Feb. 26

Kampf’s pick: Kirtland
