Predictions? I very much look forward to seeing this play out. It might be as good as a state tournament!

Given the seeding and district tournament brackets, I am going to go with the following:

 

33rd District Champ- Cooper

33rd District Runner Up- Boone Co

 

34th District Champ- Dixie

34th District Runner Up- St Henry

 

35th District Champ- Holmes

35th District Runner Up- Covcath

 

36th District Champ- Newcath

36th District Runner Up- Newport

 

Region Tournament Draw:

 

Newcath

St Henry

 

Cooper

Covcath

 

Holmes

Boone Co

 

Dixie

Newport

 

If Covcath beats Holmes in the district finals:

 

Newcath

Boone Co

 

Dixie

Holmes

 

Covcath

St Henry

 

Cooper

Newport

 

Region Tournament Draw:

 

Newcath

St Henry

 

Cooper

Covcath

 

Holmes

Boone Co

 

Dixie

Newport

 

That is subtitled, Holmes' dream scenario.

.........

 

My only differences from Walter's prediction is I think CovCath wins the 35th with Holmes as runner-up, and I think Highlands makes it over Newport as the 36th's runner-up (assuming they don't do a blind draw and Highlands gets the Breds in the District semi's [i forget which districts draw and which earn their seeding]).

 

I also think Erik Goetz sees that Highlands team make the Regionals and beats his head into his desk over some of the Holy Cross rosters that never made a Regional because of being in a district with Holmes and CovCath.

I don't think that both Boone and Cooper make it out of their District. I think that one of either Ryle or Conner pulls a mild upset to advance. Out of all the District tourneys that is the one I want to watch the most... should be very competitive.

Newport will play Highlands in one side of the bracket as the 36th is now seeded.

Ryle beats Boone so I agree with your assessment here. Ryle will be tough at home.

Newport will play Highlands in one side of the bracket as the 36th is now seeded.

 

This will be another really fun game to watch. Its all gonna be over soon, so I need to get as many of these games in as possible.

That was what I thought...and I think Highlands gets the win. Would be a great game though!!

Why are we predicting the draw for the region?

 

You might as well predict lottery numbers.

Yawn ... 9th region tournament is about as much a forgone conclusion as any region in the state.

I'm afraid you are probably right. I hope otherwise, but if I had a chance to win a million dollars I'd bet NCC and feel pretty good about it.

I don't see anyone beating NCC or CCH except one of those two beating the other one. Holmes is the only other team that has a prayer of a chance of beating those two and I make Holmes a clear underdog to both CCH and NCC at this point.

Where are all the District tourneys being played? 35th Boys is at BOKC, (not sure where the Girls get Title IX'ed to), 36th should be NCC if my history is correct.....

That could happen whether Holmes wins or loses in the district finals.

 

Boone winning the 33rd wouldn't shock me. They are the #1 seed for a reason.

 

I personally think Covcath wins the 35th district, given the way Holmes is playing right now, but went with an "upset scenario."
