In this week's girls regional basketball playoffs, the seedings have held up very well across all of the regions involving local teams. The top seed and the second seed have advanced to the semifinals -- with one exception.

In Class 4A North, North Carroll and C. Milton Wright knocked off higher-seeded teams in the quarterfinals and are looking to do the same in tonight's semifinals.

North Carroll defeated top-seeded Dulaney and the Mustangs upset second-seeded Perry Hall. In the regional playoffs, the top four teams are seeded based on their regular-season records while the rest of the teams in each region are chosen at random. The Panthers ended up ninth and the Mustangs, 10th. As a result they will have to play on the road in tonight's semifinals. North Carroll at Woodlawn at 7 and C. Milton Wright at Linganore at 7.

North Carroll is looking for its first trip to the state final four while C. Milton Wright hasn't been there since 1996. Woodlawn reached the state final in 2003 and 2004 but hasn't been back since. Linganore is the only one of the four with any championship hardware in its trophy case -- crowns from 1992, 1996 and 1997.

The regional championship will be played Saturday at the higher seed at a time yet to be determined. The winner moves on the to state final four next Thursday at UMBC's RAC Arena.
