Per Jason Frakes:

Tuesday at Valley – Butler vs. Fern Creek, 3:30; Moore vs. Fairdale, 5; PRP vs. Doss, 6:30; Bullitt East vs. Southern, 8:15

 

Thursday at Valley – Semifinals at 6 and 8 p.m.

 

Saturday at Valley – Final, 7 p.m.

Could see a semi match up of Bullitt East and PRP.

Moore - Fairdale should be a great game.

 

BE vs Moore, Faridale or Butler in the final.

Bullitt East poses a very tough matchup for PRP. PRP has to play a near-perfect game and Bullitt East has to be out of sync. I look for Fairdale to come out of other bracket and play Bullitt East in the final. Fairdale has struggled lately, but they have already beaten Butler twice, and lost to Moore by 2 at Moore. Their starting five is outstanding, and they can shorten games with their ballhandling, and are really tough to beat when they make perimeter shots. Bullitt East over Fairdale in a close final is my prediction.

Moore - Fairdale should be a great game.

 

BE vs Moore, Faridale or Butler in the final.

Region 6: Tournament to be played at Valley High School

Schedule: Tuesday (2/26) 3:30pm Butler-Fern Creek; 5:00pm Moore-Fairdale: 6:30pm PRP-Doss; 8:15pm Bullitt East-Southern

Semi finals Wednesday (2/28) at 6pm and 8pm Title game 3/2 at 7:00pm

Favorite:

In a Region loaded with strong teams, Bullitt East (28-4) appears to be the cream of the crop The Chargers had a rough week around Christmas where they lost 3 games in a span of seven days. Aside from that not so Merry Christmas, Bullitt East has been outstanding with no losses within the District or Region. The trio of Troutman (Player of the Year in Region 6), Willis and Young are hungry after being bounced from the Sweet 16 early last year by eventual champion Trinity. They are on a mission.

In the hunt:

PRP (22-7) is always tough but fell to Bullitt East by 20 points in the King of the Bluegrass Tournament and (if they get past (19-10) Doss likely draws the Chargers in round two of the tournament. Moore (23-7) has played well at times but may not be deep enough for the long haul. They face a dangerous Fairdale (18-9) in a Tuesday afternoon, round one matchup. Either of these schools could win several other regions in the state. The Moore/Fairdale winner will meet the Butler/Fern Creek winner for a spot in the Region 6 title game.

Could shock the world:

If Fairdale gets by Moore, watch out. Coach Longacre’s payers are well seasoned and have the firepower to win it.
