What would the Sweet 16 in football have looked like, if it was set up exactly like basketball with no classes? The districts being the same as basketball, the regions, etc. Then with the same regional pairings that basketball had for its basketball bracket this year?

 

Anyone have opinions on what teams would have made it from their regions, and then what teams would have advanced once in the state tournament?

Interesting idea for a thread but I think most of us would need to know the top teams in each region.

Regions 4, 6 and 7 would have had the same teams in football and basketball. Bowling Green, Fern Creek and Trinity. And saying this as respectfully as possible some of those would have been really weak football regions.

Trinity didn't make it. Ballard made the Sweet16

Trinity didn't make it. Ballard made the Sweet16

 

You are correct, I totally screwed that up. I really don't know what I was thinking.

Region 2: Christian County (beat Hopkinsville and Caldwell in reg. season

Region 3: Owensboro Catholic (beat Owensboro in reg. season)

Region 4: Bowling Green

Lafayette vs. Pulaski County

Bowling Green vs. Mayfield

 

Corbin vs. Campbell County

Belfry vs. Hazard

 

Russell vs. Simon Kenton

Ryle vs. OCath

 

John Hardin vs. Trinity

Simon Kenton vs. Ryle

Trinity vs. Christian County

 

 

Final 4:

Bowling Green vs. Belfry

Ryle vs. Trinity

 

CHAMPIONSHIP:

I'd personally go with Owensboro over Owensboro Catholic even with the regular season upset, but otherwise agree. Predictions round by round are hard to dispute as well.

REGION 12

District 45 – Boyle County, Danville, Garrard County, Kentucky School f/t Deaf, Lincoln County

District 46 – Burgin, East Jessamine, Mercer County, West Jessamine

District 47 – Casey County, Pulaski County, Rockcastle County, Somerset

District 48 – McCreary Central, Southwestern, Wayne County

 

Let’s drill down a little further. If the postseason was just like basketball, I’d pick:

 

45th District- Danville, winner; Boyle County, runner up

46th District- East Jessamine, winner; Mercer County, runner up

47th District- Pulaski County, winner; Rockcastle County, runner up

48th District- Southwestern, winner; Wayne County, runner up

 

Based on this year’s 12th Region tournament, the brackets are:

 

Danville vs Wayne County

East Jessamine vs Rockcastle County

Southwestern vs Boyle County

Pulaski County vs Mercer County

 

Then, Semi Finals:

Danville vs Rockcastle County

Southwestern vs Pulaski County

 

Championship

Pulaski County def. Danville

I'd personally go with Owensboro over Owensboro Catholic even with the regular season upset, but otherwise agree. Predictions round by round are hard to dispute as well.[/quote

 

I think if Owensboro would of beat Catholic they would of been on the list for sure
