This should be a great tournament this upcoming week at Walton Verona. Really think you could pick a name from a hat and not go wrong. I think the favorites are Gallatin, Williamstown, Walton Verona (home court). Would not be surprised one bit to see Owen or Eminence knock off Walton Verona (no sure winner over a capable Trimble team) in the 2nd round. Looking forward to results of this tournament, thoughts?

Completely agree. I have no idea who the favorite would be. Also interested to see which of these teams start a little momentum to their season. At first I thought gallatin would be the favorite.

All "A" Brackets

 

Having not seen three of the four teams on the bottom of the bracket, I'll take the winner of the second round matchup on the top as the 8th Region representatives in Frankfort.

I believe pre season 8th region all A coaches ranking had Gallatin, Williamstown, Eminence and Owen as top 4. Walton Verona has beat Gallatin, Eminence and Owen but has yet to play Williamstown so it seems Walton Verona was overlooked prior to season start.

While I have no dog in this fight, I'm going to root for Williamstown for whom this opportunity rolls around much too scarcely.

? is, can the winner of this thing even be considered for the 8th region championship and trip to Rupp?

Williamstown and Gallatin have a couple of the best guards in the region in Stanley and Wilson, Walton Verona has one of the best bigs in Miles. I think those 3 schools would be very competitive with top teams in the 8th. If Walton Verona had a guard like Stanley or Wilson I would put them right there at the top but I think that is their missing piece.

Mustang, will you be coming to any of the games? I think you may find you know a few of these players parents & it should very competitive tournament.

An 'A' team will not win the 8th in March...

I'm always for the A schools, but I believe your statement is correct.

 

I saw you from a distance last night in Warsaw.

My thought is an A school had Mr. Basketball last season and couldn't get out of the first round. Not much chance this year. Maybe I will see you tonight.

Nothing against your post but I posted a similar post about the 10th Region and was told that I needed to post game by game threads.

You sound like the kid at school that's mad because the teacher got on him for something, but didn't see another kid do the same thing. Nobody likes that kid.
