DISTRICT TOURNAMENT PREVIEWS

9th District - #1 OHS (18-7) vs #13 Apollo (3-24) - Owensboro Swept Apollo this season by a large margin. Apollo struggles with speed and ball pressure. It would be hard to see an upset in this matchup

#3 Catholic (16-10) vs #8 DC (10-14) - Catholic swept Daviess County this season. Catholic had to come from behind in the first meeting, but won the 2nd meeting handily. Anytime you a leading scorer, like Dakota Walden you have a chance, but Tim Riley will have the Aces ready.

PREDICTION - OWENSBORO OVER OWENSBRO CATHOLIC

10th District - #6 Muhlenberg (13-10) v #7 Mclean (11-14) - Easily the most intreguing 1st round game in the region. Both teams split wins in the regular season. Mclean comes in red hot, but it would still feel like a bit of an upset if the Cougars were to score the win.

PREDICTION - OHIO COUNTY OVER MCLEAN COUNTY

11th District - #2 Breck (24-3) v #15 Cloverport (1-26) - Breckenridge should cruise here.

#11 Meade (11-16) v #14 Hancock (6-21) - Meade swept series by an average margin of 34.

PREDICTION - BRECKENRIDGE COUNTY OVER MEADE COUNTY

12th District - #5 Grayson (15-14) v #10 Trinity(13-15) - Grayson swept the season series in 2 close games. Cameron Wright has been injured most of the 2nd half of the season for Trinity but will try to give it a go. The Cougars athletisim will be hard for Trinity to handle.

#9Butler (14-10) v #11 Edmonson(11-16) - Both teams split wins in the regular season, but Edmonson will host the district, giving them a slight edge. Butler has 2 very dynamic scorers to offset the home court advantage. This one should be a good one!

PREDICTION - GRAYSON COUNTY OVER BUTLER COUNTY
