You have to think this district again comes down to Simon Kenton and Walton-Verona. Simon Kenton has a few younger impact players this season so they are poised to make quite a run, but first they must take the district crown from Walton and a Xavier signee in Dieonte Miles. It will be fun to see who takes home the hardware in the 32nd!

 

See below for dates when you can catch these four district foes in action against one another.

I liked it better when the 32nd District teams would play each other twice.

I agree. Why don’t they?
