44th District Draw

[BIG_BALLIN]

Madison Central vs. Model

 

Madison Southern vs. Berea

 

I'm sure Model and Coach Scarberry are not real happy since they already beat Madison Southern this year...LOL

wow didn't know this district held a draw.

Model or Berea won't vote to seed it. Bit Model in the butt this year.

Knowing Coach Scarberry he'll embrace the challenge and have his team ready to compete. Model has 2 of the better players in the district in Otieno and Chen, but it'll take a near perfect game for them to upset the Indians.

That's the luck of the draw!!!

Oh well. Tournament draws are pointless. Rewarding teams that are less than mediocre.

Well if he or the AD at Model would put their big boy pants on and vote to seed then this wouldn't even be an issue.

This is the last thing I'll say about this!!! Berea, Model, Madison Southern all play each other. Madison Central plays Madison Southern and Berea, but Model won't schedule Madison Central, I'm not sure why other than the fact they don't have to and they would take an "L". The 44th district is a joke, and its sickening to see Model or Berea in the Region when majority of the time THEY DON'T deserve it. Central dominates this district winning it 20+ straight years I think, but it hurts when the 2nd best team sometimes doesn't get in, and causes somebody in the 11th Region to basically gets a bye in their first game. Model is paying the price this year. Would they win an 11th Region game...probably not, and in all honesty even though Model beat Southern this year its a wash because they are very close. But think of this...what if Berea were to go and play in the Region...that would be a joke and the rest of the 11th Region teams should raise this issue because it makes the Region road a little easier than in other Regions. Not trying to raise a fuss or cause a stir, but IMO its just the right thing to do.

Do you know for sure that Model won't schedule Madison Central?

I'm not disagreeing with what you say, I think the KHSAA should mandate seeding, but in recent years Model and Madison Southern have been pretty competitive with one another, but it seems as though you single out Model when they would deserve a regional opportunity as much as Southern would.

I agree with you, Model and Berea WILL NOT vote for seeding under both administrations, and YES Model DOES NOT deserve to play Madison Central in the first round of the district. My point is instead of playing Central they should be playing Madison Southern (who they have already beaten) and get a shot to go play in the Regional tournament. Model and Berea usually are the bottom 2 this year it is Southern, (but I know if this was brought up Southern would ALWAYS vote to seed). Point being as has happened MANY times before your best 2 teams will not represent the 44th district in the 11th Regional tournament. In reality, not seeding has hurt girls basketball in the 44th district more than the boys.

...and to answer your first question...YES...Model will NOT schedule Madison Central.
