Any of those games shock you?

Four 3-seeds won in both 4A and 6A

 

Average margin of win in the first round was 32 points

Any of those games shock you?

 

I thought Casey had a chance to win, did not think it would be by such a wide margin.

Looking down the list, I'd say that Casey County beating Breathitt County the way they did and Lincoln County beating Harlan County is the most surprising.

Any of those games shock you?

 

Shock, no but I didn't think Dixie had it in them to beat Montgomery Co.--see my king of the carpet entry.

We have 15 teams that got a win who many people think don't deserve to be in the playoffs.

 

There were several other games where the higher seed barely squeaked out the win.

Please tell me what Seneca, George Rogers Clark and Boone County can take as a positive tonight?

 

I KNOW the players at Seneca didn't want to play tonight.

They both (Lincoln and Harlan Co.'s) are down this year but Lincoln Co. actually faired a little better against their 2 common opponents.

Then the losers who don't want to play just have to take one on the chin so the teams and players who do care get their chance.

This is a member school issue, the schools want this round of the playoffs.

Easy to say when your not the one getting embarrassed.

I am sure many of the schools have the best of intentions and others just have selfish coaches.

 

Either way, this round of the playoffs needs to go.
