23rd District Tournament Preview (6th Region)

23rd at Bullitt Central

* Monday – Evangel Christian (5) vs. Southern (4), 6

Despite Southern coming in with a 6 game losing streak, this will be an easy win over Evangel Christian. They played earlier in the season and Southern doubled the score on Evangel winning by 47 points.

* Wednesday – Evangel Christian-Southern winner vs. North Bullitt (1), 5:30

This could get interesting. North Bullitt is 15-10 and Southern is 10-15. Southern has played the tougher schedule and owns a victory over North Bullitt already by 8. Both have struggled of late. I think it will be #4 seed Southern in a close one over the district #1 seed, but would not be surprising to see North Bullitt win either.

* Wednesday - Moore (3) vs. Bullitt Central (2), 7

Because this is at home and Bullitt Central has won 6 out of their last 7 games they appear to be the slight favorite, but again it will be a close game that Moore could easily get the victory to advance to regional play. Moore lost to Bullitt Central by 7 earlier in the season. Even though they have lost 3 out of their last 5 games, they are playing good as of late with close losses to PRP (2 points), JTown (2), and Doss (10). It would be no surprise to see Moore win this game and the district, but Bullitt Central gets the slight edge here.

* Friday – Final, 7

It really is hard to predict who will be in the final and any of 4 teams could win this district. I am going to pick Bullitt Central, but either Southern or Moore could just as easily win. In all honesty, this district will send two teams that had they been in any other district would likely not be advancing to the regional tournament.
