10^th Region, Regional Tournament Review Week 2

We have finally reached march, but the Madness has yet to occur… the week went as expected for the first round of the tournament. The one game we thought would be close, ended up being a great one as Bracken County won a barn burner ending in double overtime. The top-heavy 10^th we’ve watched all season is now down to four games, Lets take a look at next weeks matchups.

March 7^th 6:00 pm

#1 George Rogers Clark vs #2 Mason County – GRC (-16)

               Despite these teams avoiding each other during the regular season, fate has brought them together… Finally, we get to see the matchup we’ve all been waiting for. The Cardinals clearly are the favorite for this matchup, but if the Royals shoot well, they certainly have a chance. With a 6:00pm start time, it will be hard for most people to get to the game in time, but I don’t think that will stop the Mason County faithful. I am going to say Mason County fans far outnumber the Clark County fans in this one. Maybe this gives mason a bit more of an edge coming into the game, but In the end this Clark county team has been much too dominate to pick against. I’m picking Clark by double digits.

March 7^th 7:45 pm

#3 Bracken County vs #4 Campbell County – Campbell Co (-3)

Well, this one is tough to pick. The Bracken Co fans should be happy that I picked against them, they seem to always win when I do. I expect this one to end like the Bracken/Harrison first round game. I just think Campbell has been on a tear lately and they’re a completely different team then they were in the first half of the season. I think the Camels pull out a tight one and advance to the regional finals.

March 8^th 7:00 pm

Predicted Championship Matchup

#1 GRC vs #4 Campbell Co - GRC (18)

The Cardinals have been dominant all season, can’t pick against them now. Tough Matchup and I would be pretty surprised if this Clark Co team loses, but crazier things have happened. These have been Clearly the top 2 programs in the last 5 years in the 10^th region and its only fitting that they meet again, in the finals. Can Aric Russell aka Mr. March pull off an all time upset? We will have to wait and see…
