The seedings for the eight-team MD/DC Private Schools Volleyball Tournament were announced Sunday night, and three local teams will participate. Top-ranked and Interscholastic Athletic Association of Maryland A conference champion Mount de Sales is the top seed.

The tournament quarterfinals will open tonight, when No. 10 and sixth-seeded Covenant Community School plays at third-seed Holy Cross of Montgomery County at 6 p.m.

The other quarterfinals are all tomorrow. Mount de Sales will host eighth-seeded St. Johns (D.C.) at 6:30 p.m., IAAM A conference runner-up Seton Keough, the fifth seed, will play at fourth-seeded Maryland School for the Deaf in Frederick at 6 p.m. The other half of the bracket features second-seeded Good Counsel hosting Model School, the seventh seed, at 6 p.m., and the Covenant-Holy Cross game.

The semifinals will be held on Tuesday, Nov. 10, while the finals will be on Thursday, Nov. 12. Both the semifinals and finals will be held at Mount de Sales.

If the seeds hold, undefeated Mount de Sales (17-0) would face Good Counsel in the final. The Falcons are ranked 10th in the Washington area, according to The Washington Post, and they have a 20-2 record.

"I’m already thinking about Good Counsel," said Mount de Sales coach Monica Owensby on Saturday after the Sailors won the A conference title. "We’ve never won this tournament before, and it would be a great way for us to end a great season."
