State Bracket Released

It's not quite Selection Sunday, but it's fun nonetheless. Here's a look at how the state tournament will be seeded per region...

8 v. 12
9 v. 6

2 v. 15
13 v. 3

4 v. 10
11 v. 1

5 v. 14
7 v. 16

Quick Analysis

It's a pretty fair draw in my opinion. My attention is grabbed by that region 13 v. region 3 game in the first round, which will likely be one of the Laurels against Owensboro Catholic. Then, that winner would play the winner of region 2 in all likelihood, whoever that might be. What a sub-bracket that is. I think the weakest first round game is region 8 v. region 12, but things will change before June.

Taking my regional champion predictions from below, let's see what the state tournament would look like...

(8) Shelby County v. (12) Danville
(9) Ryle v. (6) Butler

(2) Henderson County v. (15) Pikeville
(13) North Laurel v. (3) Owensboro Catholic

(4) Greenwood v. (10) George Rogers Clark
(11) Dunbar v. (1) Reidland

(5) North Hardin v. (14) Estill County
(7) Mercy v. (16) Russell
