11^th Region District Review / Region Preview

        The District Championships started with a great game in the 44^th as Madison Southern defeated Madison Central in the finals by 5 points.  The Eagles quickly got up 10-0 before the Indians answered with a run of their own.  This was a back-and-forth game the whole way with a great environment at the site of the regional tournament at EKU. The 3 championship games on Friday night did not disappoint.  In the 41^st, Great Crossing kept rolling as they defeated Western Hills.  In the 42^nd, Frederick Douglass defeated Henry Clay in the best game of the night.  Frederick Douglass also picked up a tough win over Bryan Station in their semifinal game.  In the 43^rd, Lexington Catholic once again defeated Dunbar. The Bulldogs were up 34-24 before Lexington Catholic made a run to take the lead.  However, I would not count out the Bulldogs in the 11^th Region Tournament.  The top half of the draw includes 4 of the Top 25 teams in the state with Lexington Catholic, Madison Central, Henry Clay, and Great Crossing on the same side of the bracket.  Check out the rest of the schedule below and my predictions for the region!
