All Tell Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Draw happens Sat, Feb 25 at 11. District Winners: Ballard Male Manual Trinity District Runners-up CAL Central St. Xavier Waggener First round games Tuesday Feb 28 at D winners. Semis Thursday Mar 2 at Valley, finals Monday Mar 6 at Valley Overall the 7th isn't as deep as it normally is. Waggener is the best of the runners-up and I see them as the only one with a shot at a win but that depends on the draw. I would pick them over Male or Manual and give them a shot against Ballard but would pick Ballard in that match-up. I don't see Central, CAL or X beating any of the winners. Trinity has to be favored but the elephant in the room is that they haven't played Ballard yet this year. I don't think Ballard is as dominant as they have been in the past but they are still Ballard. Male and Manual both seem to be peaking right now which is great for them but I don't see either beating Trinity or Ballard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoopJunkie Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Definitely comes down to the draw. CAL or Waggener will beat Male or Manual. But nobody is close to Ballard or Trinity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All Tell Posted February 25, 2017 Author Share Posted February 25, 2017 Waggener is in position to play in the championship game. They got a great draw. Trinity and Ballard potentially in the semi-final again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BasketballJunkie3 Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Trinity. Better coached than any other team and have 2 studs with a great supporting cast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Three of these teams aren't even affiliated with JCPS. Because the Valley gym was built specifically to host the regional tournament. I'm not a fan of driving to Valley for the games either but it is what it is. It's not going to change so complaining about it is rather fruitless.

All Tell Posted February 26, 2017 Author Share Posted February 26, 2017 I might try to make it to this one. You'll probably want to go by one of the schools Monday to get your ticket. I don't know that any will be available at the door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongTimeReader Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 They are playing in Steinhauser which should be an incredible atmosphere. I want to say back in the early 2000s X and T met in the Regional round and they played at X...it was a phenomenal atmosphere. X doesn't have the offensive fire power to knock of T this year. They have to keep the game ugly if they want to pull off an upset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't get another person in there with a shoehorn. X won that game by 20. Hoping for a similar result for the home team this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
