Anyone agree/disagree?

I think its a two horse race and will give the field. Apollo - best college prospect in the region, solid point guard, shooters, and just enough rebounding, and the 3rd Region Coach of the Year. Owensboro - best bigs in the region, athletic perimeter play that when shots are falling will be an extremely hard out. I think these two teams "B game" can beat everyone else's "A game". However, that is why they play the game! Bring on March

The top 4 teams are all in 1 district? That probably doesn't happen very often around the state.
