This will be the first seeding game in the 29th District.    The 29th District is a 3-team district, so the team earning the #1 seed gets a free pass to the region tournament as they will be guaranteed at least a runner-up finish in the district tournament.

Oldham has won five straight in the all-time series, and 8 of the last 9.

 

One of the best rivalries in the region, look forward to these Oldham games each season! Give me Oldham County in a close one, but South will not go down without a fight. 

I like south in this one.  Also, looking forward to this match-up.  I think South 1-7 players are better than Oldham stop 7.  Although you’re right Max green for Oldham may be the difference making.
