The 2022 Sweet 16® kicks off Wednesday at 11:00 am with Jeffersontown, champions of Region 6, going up against the Region 12 champs, Lincoln County.

The Chargers have a balanced attack with 4 players in double figures, but none averaging 14 ppg. or more.  Meanwhile, Lincoln County...well, the Patriots also have a balanced attack with 4 players in double figures, but none averaging 14 ppg. or more.  Go figure.

Who moves onto the Friday Quarterfinals?

Lincoln County wins it 48-44.

Lincoln County wins 36-32. Lowest scoring game in the history of the boys sweet sixteen lol.

I don’t think LC can hold Jtown down.

Chargers 59-50

Do not know a lot about Jeffersontown but I do know Jaxon Smith is good at controlling the games pace. Kid is strong with the ball and is great vs pressure. If Smith and Alcorn play well which normally opens up shooters then LC will be moving on from the first round. Coach Jackson will not care to hold the ball if he feels like he has to. LC 58 J-town 50.

I'll take J-Town. 6th Region was tough this year and impressive J-Town won it. I don't know much about Lincoln County but if they beat J-Town then they are impressive team.

One common opponent in Great Crossing. Lincoln defeated them while Jeffersontown lost. About the only connection. If Lincoln can control pace and make shots they can win. I suspect Lincoln plays zone on the defensive end and see what J-town can do.

Worth noting from the game at Great Crossing: J'town was without 6'7" Sr. PF/W Lavonte Harris - super athletic, 10.1p/4.5r, shooting 55/43/78% this season.

Sweet 16® starts in less than an hour!
