Who wins and why?

Toughest of the first round games to call. I took Knox Central, difference being the grind of two tough games on North (i.e., beating Jackson Co. @ Jackson and losing to Clay County @ Jackson in the district tourney).

 

I think the two big kids on the interior for each team will negate one another more than people might think, and that Knox Central will be able to throw some type of defense at North which dares them to shoot, and it's somewhat unclear whether or not North will be able to shoot them out of it.

 

Knox Central could be a real dark horse in this region, especially if they knock off North.
