Regional Tournament Watch: Monday

The following regions will play all four of their first round games: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 10, 11, 13, 14, 15, 16.

The 12th Region will play these two first round games tomorrow: East Jessamine vs. Pulaski County, Lincoln County vs. West Jessamine.

The Top 10 Games of the Day...

10) Apollo vs. Meade County (region 3)
The surprise champion of the 9th District faces a stiff test in the first round in Meade County, who was ranked earlier this season.
9) #4 Allen County-Scottsville vs. Bowling Green (region 4)
The Patriots must be on their game against the darkhorse Purples, who was within two runs of Greenwood in the 14th District Championship until late.
8) Bryan Station vs. Woodford County (region 11)
The Defenders and the Yellow Jackets have both flown under the radar in the 11th region.
7) #3 Greenwood vs. Barren County (region 4)
The Gators beat the Trojans 5-0 late this season, but many remember how close Barren County was to pulling the upset in last year's 4th Region Tournament semifinal.
6) #12 Dunbar vs. Madison Central (region 11)
The Indians have beaten Estill County, South Laurel and Southwestern. Dunbar must shake off their blowout district loss to Lafayette if they are to advance.
5) Muhlenberg North vs. #17 Grayson County (region 3)
Grayson County avoids Owensboro Catholic, but they must not overlook the 10th District champion Stars, who rolled up 17 regional wins this season.
4) #6 Reidland vs. St. Mary (region 1)
St. Mary was upset in their district by Ballard Memorial; they must now take on the favorite Greyhounds in the first round.
3) #9 North Hardin vs. #22 Larue County (region 5)
Like St. Mary, Larue County was upset in their district tournament. Like St. Mary, Larue County will have to play their region's finest out of the gate.
2) #18 Edmonson County vs. #5 Owensboro Catholic (region 5)
Edmonson County wins their first district tournament ever, and the reward is a date against the premier program in the state. But this Catholic team is vulnerable, as seen against Apollo.
1) #1 Christian County vs. #7 Henderson County (region 2)
What else would it be? In this Battle of Colonels, it's a safe bet that the first team to 1 will win. The probable pitching matchup between Driver and Whitmer could be the best this postseason has to offer.

It's pretty fair to say that one of these ranked teams will fall to an upset. Follow the scoreboard for regional tournament results.

  • I'm from Grayson County and I predict that there will be some big upsets in the regional tournaments today and some good teams will go home early.
