All A Thoughts and Predictions

Matchups have been set, so what does everyone think?

Beechwood vs. Lynn Camp

Knott County Central vs. Owensboro Catholic

Lexington Christian vs. University Heights

Louisville Collegiate vs. Raceland

Mayfield vs. Green County

Pikeville vs. Somerset

Walton-Verona vs. Holy Cross (Lou.)

Clinton County vs. Robertson County

Here's who I'm going with in these first round matchups:

Beechwood

OCath

LCA

Raceland

Mayfield

Somerset

WV

Clinton County

Haven't seen a bracket yet so can't speculate on second round matchups, but I will say I like LCA, Mayfield or WV to win it all. OCath should be a tough out too. UHA definitely got a tough draw but I think they are a top 5 team in this tourney.

Louisville Collegiate gets no love. 17-4 and getting picked to lose to Raceland. Their 2nd round matchup would be Lexington Christian, who I think is head and shoulders above the rest of the field.

Their schedule has been terrible

UHA got the worst draw of the bunch. However, I think the put up a good fight against LCA before bowing out in the 4th quarter.

I really think we will see a Mayfield vs LCA final. Should be a great matchup.

There's a very good chance you're right. I'm fairly confident the LCA/UHA winner will face the winner of a likely Walton-Verona/Mayfield semifinal match. LCA likely beats UHA, and I think Mayfield/WV is pretty close to a toss up.

If someone outside of that group of 4 is to pull off an upset, I'd go with Somerset.

Does anyone know anything about Lynn Camp? They have a great record against a weak schedule.

Someone told me this might be their best team ever. Will they bring a strong crowd?

O-Cath

LCA/UHA

Mayfield

Walton Verona

My final four -- and I give UHA a MUCH better chance against LCA than the rest of this thread. What an awesome first round matchup, a shame they had to draw each other right out of the gate.

Mayfield is REALLY good. They probably have the most impressive wins of anybody in the tournament. It seems LCA's ratings are boosted by losses to really good teams. But in reality, they don't have the wins that Mayfield Has. When we beat Mayfield earlier in the year they were without one of their best players and so were we (Trice). So it's hard to gauge that game.

Mayfield has beaten UHA (albeit without their second best player) and John Hardin.

Walton Verona is a tough team to gauge as well as they are playing without their big guy.

I think Mayfield definitely makes the final. Then I think the winner of UHA and LCA makes the final. The talk among folks I know at UHA say that they think the game boils down to LCA making 3's and UHA rebounding. If UHA can't close out on their shooters and can't draw even on the boards they will struggle to win. But if they can defend the 3 point line and hold their own in rebounding they think they have a very good shot.

Will there be a video stream of the games?

Dinky will coach them up but they will likely fall in the first round. But I say "Go Campers!!! "

Tanner Boggs is a nice player.
