E'town.

 

- Home against 4-Wayne (last year's state runner-up, granted Wayne is down)

- Road against 1-Corbin (No. 1 seed, ranked in top-10, long road trip)

- Road against 1-Louisville Central or 2-Bell County (E'town hasn't fared well against either

- Road against 1-South Warren (unbeaten, SW has crushed E'town twice in two years)

- Final against 1-Belfry (rematch of their state final a few years ago when E'town couldn't win when it had three FBS players in QB Chris Todd, TE/Lineman Zipp Duncan and OL/DE Brandon Deaderick).

 

Anybody who takes this road...it's tough

Class 5A Region 4

Pulaski County, Southwestern and North Laurel.

 

Who ever advances from this region will have to work for it.

 

I agree with this

Harrison County.

Harrison County.

 

:laugh:........but true.

Boyd County

 

@ Highlands It probably ends there, but if they win then

@ Ashland (who already beat them this season) or @ Holmes

@ Johnson Central (who already beat them this season) or @ Cov Cath

@ probably Lexington Catholic or Boyle County.

McCracken is the winner ... so to speak.

In 4A I think it will be Mad. N. Hopkins. ACS/@at Franklin Simpson/@Owensboro/@Collins.....

In 2A the toughest road would be Murray's path. Although they should get through the first round pretty easily, after that the road to BG is full of talent for them. Their second round matchup would be against a powerhouse offense in O Cath. If they survive that, their next game would be more of the same in a Caldwell Co team that has already beat them at home. Should they find a trick there and get by, they would next travel to the big city to face the CAL/DeSales winner (no treat there either). An impossible juggernaut to get by IMO. The west side of 2A is LOADED. Not an easy path for anybody. 2A state champion comes from the west, and it is wide open.

I guess I'd have to say Cooper has the toughest road since they have been labeled terrible and horrible and can't beat anyone that every post season game is a huge upset if they win according to some.

 

So so if they are as bad as said to be they would definitely have the toughest road and the most miraculous to get there.

I'm gonna take a stab at all 6 classes.

 

1A: Hazard out of the East. after Lynn Camp in round 1, they will more than likely host a speedy and dangerous Campbellsville team. Win that, you get Williamsburg for the Regional titile. Win and you'll likely face Raceland for the right to play the freight train that is Mayfield.

 

2A: Whoever comes out of the West! you have Caldwell, OCath and Murray all vying for a spot in the Semi State. Win and you'll get either CAL, DeSales or Glasgow. Winner of this semi-state has be the favorite, but more than likely Walton-Verona or NewCath will be waiting them.

 

3A: E-town by far has a tough road, but honestly anyone out of that Region does. Central, Bell, E-town, Corbin, Wayne, and Henry County all have a legit shot to come out of Region 2. Winner will likely get winner of South Warren and PT. Win that and you're in BG playing Belfry or upset winner Garrard Co/Russell. This may be a weak class strength wise, but find a more balanced class this season.

 

4A: I'm going with Boyle. Russell County may be down but still dangerous. Second round will likely be Knox Central, but Dudley Hilton has done an AMAZING job in a few short weeks with Taylor and anyone who gets this team has to be aware of their potential to pull the upset. Regional finals will be a rematch with LexCath. Semi-State is Highlands, finals will be Owensboro or Franklin-Simpson.

 

5A: going with John Hardin here. First round is a rematch at Bullitt East which could go either way. Win and you get a rematch with Grayson County which went down to the wire recently. Win, and you'll get a DANGEROUS Bullitt Central team with explosive potential. Thanksgiving weekend is the annual game with Bowling Green. State finals could easily be the winner of Pulaski and Southwestern, either one who is EXTREMELY dangerous.

 

6A: Meade County or Central Hardin. Meade (likely gets) Henry Clay, Scott County, Central Hardin/Bryan Station, Male/Trinity before a date with Simon Kenton or Dixie Heights in the finals. Central Hardin has to go through PLD, Bryan Station, Scott County/Meade, Male/Trinity before a date with Simon Kenton or Dixie. The ENTIRE top half is STACKED this season, but can't deny Region 2 has a tough road no matter how you slice it.

I didn't list McCrackens 5 possible games before but I will now using calpreps/maxpreps computer state rankings all classes.

1. Manual #8 in the state.

2. St X #3 in the state

3. Male #1 in the state

4. Scott Co #5 in the state

5. Dixie #4 in the state

 

They will miss #2, 6, and 7

#2 is trinity and they simply cant play both male and trinity, 6 &7 are in a different class.

Mathematically nobody can play a tougher road.

 

Marshall Co. would play:

1. #1 Male

2. #2 Trinity

3. #3 St. X

4. #5 Scott Co.

5. #4 Dixie

 

I'm not saying it has any chance of happening, but that is the toughest road.

Wow, that is a winner, but now that I see it Henderson has the same road just with Male and Trinity flip flopped.
