DISTRICT BREAKDOWNS & PREDICTIONS...
9th - at Daviess County -- Owensboro vs Apollo - The Devils have beaten Apollo by sizable amounts in the regular season.  This is just a match-up where you cannot see a path for an upset.  Daviess County vs Owensboro Catholic - While Daviess County does hold a regular season win over the Aces, it was with Cole Burch and the Aces were without Webb and Griffith.  The Aces will be heavy favorites to advance.  It will be up to the guards of the Panthers to try to lead an upset.  PREDICTION: Owensboro over Owensboro Catholic

10th - at Muhlenberg County - Ohio Co vs Mclean Co - this is the best first round game in the entire region.  Both teams dominated the home meetings against each other so it is fitting to take the rubber match to a neutral floor.  The Eagles are expected to be without Elijah Decker in this one, but the other Eagles have stepped up big in his absence.  When Brady Dame is involved, he is one of the most unstoppable players in the region.  Jaxson Floyd vs Josh Manning should be a great one on one match-up as well.  PREDICTION - Muhlenberg over Ohio County

11th - at Breck County - Meade County vs Cloverport - the Waves will be the overwelming favorite here.  They are undefeated in district play and defeated Cloverport by a large margin in both meetings this year.  Hancock County vs Breck County - this game is a tale of two teams headed in different directions.  Hancock has won their last 6, while Breck County has lost thier last 9.  The first game, was an overtime win for the Hornets.  The second meeting was a 14 point Hancock win.  PREDICTION - Meade Co over Hancock Co

12th - at Butler County - Butler County vs Grayson County - the 12th is the most balanced district in the region with all teams in the first round match-ups, splitting regular season games.  The Bears come in as the host and the 1 seed, but have only gone 4-4 over the last few weeks.  Grayson has underachieved most of the season and have only 3 wins in their last 10 games.  Both teams will be looking for a clean slate in this one.  Whitesville Trinity vs Edmonson County - These two just hooked up in a double overtime classic less than two weeks ago with the Cats getting the win.  Trinity had been playing very well up until their final 3 games, which they lost.  Edmonson comes in as the hottest team in the district closing the season with 5 wins in their last 7 games.  PREDICTION - Butler County over Whitesville Trinity
