Scott County

Basically how I see it...although I'm hoping to see a different school name down at the bottom there.

Did they say when the first round game times would be announced?

Respectfully, I could not disagree more. Trinity is stacked with D1 talent. They have 3 mid/high major players on their roster. They haven’t gelled like they are capable of, but Scott County doesn’t have anywhere close to the talent that Trinity does. Both of them have to make it out of their region, which is no guarantee.

11th vs 7th will be a good matchup. Unfortunately for the 7th I don’t think they can handle Scott County

Is this a typo?

I think the Scott County v. Trinity would be the key game to the whole bracket. Trinity's loss on paper to Madison Central is puzzling but they were without one of their best players, Powell, out and on the road. I would take Trinity in the matchup.

(13)Corbin v. (14)Knott County Central

(11)Scott County v. (7) Trinity

(12)Pulaski County v. (4)Warren Central

(15)Shelby Valley v. (5)John Hardin

(2)Christian County v. (10)George Rogers Clark

(8)Oldham County v. (1)Paducah Tilghman

(3)Owensboro v. (9)Covington Catholic

(6)Fern Creek v. (16)Ashland

Now watch Ballard spoil all the fun and win the 7th.

You nailed it. The way they play can win a tournament and spoil the fun.

Now watch Ballard spoil all the fun and win the 7th.

Scott Co has some tough teams to beat as well.
