61st District at Rowan County

 

Rowan County vs Bath County- The Vikings have been the class of the district all season It will take a monumental upset by the Wildcats to reach Morehead. The trio of Ryne Callahan, Justin Graham, and Larry Whelan are hard to contain.

 

Fleming County vs Menifee County- Wilder Williams and some young guns have led the Panthers to a respectable season. Jordan Mann and the Wildcats can score but will they have enough to stop the Panthers on the offensive end?

 

District Pick: Rowan County

 

62nd District at West Carter

 

Elliott County vs West Carter- Round V should be interesting. The Comets have closed the gap in each of the four losses. The balanced attack of the Lions has been the formula for a great season in Sandy Hook. Can the twin towers of Roe and Jordan derail the Lions postseason plans?

 

Morgan County vs East Carter- The marquee game of the region's first round games. Two of the hottest teams in the region. Can the dynamic duo of Jordan Perry and Holden Redparth overcome the veteran Raiders squad? It should be a doozy.

 

District Pick: Elliott County

 

63rd District at Lewis County

 

Raceland vs Russell- The Rams are trying to get to Morehead for the first time since 2008. They own three wins over Russell the last being an overtime win. Jacob Blair is the straw that stirs the Rams drink. The improving, young Red Devils hope to pull an upset on Monday.

 

Lewis County vs Greenup County- This border rivalry is always intense. The talented Musketeers rely on Gage Hughes and athletic post Jair Jackson while the Lions play gritty defense and have Mr March in their corner. This one has the makings of a barnburner in Vanceburg.

 

District Pick: Lewis County

 

64th District at Boyd County

 

Boyd County vs Rose Hill- The Lions enjoy the fruits of the #1 by playing Rose Hill. The Lions, led by Connor Gauze and Bobby Anderson, should punch a ticket to Morehead with ease.

 

Ashland vs Fairview- The boys from Westwood swept the Tomcats in the regular season. Antwan Washington is the key to the Eagles attack. Nick Miller is back for the Tomcats and Christian Villers has been a scoring machine for Ashland. Will tradition and the jersey be enough for the Tomcats to salvage a trip to Ellis T or will the upstart Eagles end the Tomcats long season?

 

District Pick: Boyd County

Nice job as always GB32. Let's hope some of this nasty weather goes away so we can get the post season going. Going to be several good games in both the district and regional.
