I found out tonight that the first round games of the 51st District Tourney will be as follows:

 

Knox Central vs. Barbourville (I'm not sure who is the 2 or 3 seed, but it doesn't matter).

Pineville (1 seed) vs. Lynn Camp (4 seed)

Lynn Camp rallied tonight from 21 down at the half to beat Whitley County in OT by 3. Good win for the Wildcats. Are the Colonels cursed?

Hey Bubba, I've already put up a thread on that. And, the Campers trailed by 23 in the third before rallying.

What was the tie breaker between KC, P-ville and B-ville based on?

I didn't ask that. But I heard Dinky on the radio today and to my ears, he didn't seem to happy about a KC/B'ville first round match-up.

All the rest of Knox County is happy about it even if Coach Phipps is not....lol

Not sure what would make Dinky happy, the man is a hard person to please. I think this game will be huge and would not be surprised to see the winner lose in the finals against the LC / Pineville winner. All the media, community and fans will be focused on the KC and Bville game and this might just allow one of the other two to slip in the backdoor. Time will tell.

Its about time something went Pineville's way this year. But Lynn Camp can't be overlooked, everybody saw what they did last year to the Mtn. Lions.

JD Strange is a first class guy and a very good coach. If Pennington or he either one wins the district I would be very happy for them.

Anyone could win this district.The old warriors, Dinky and Strange against the new lions Elam and Pennington. It should be a wild tournament.

Coach Elam has a couple of districts under his belt already. He knows the drill and is surely the most fun Coach to quote in that district. Coach Pennington is a firey little guy who kinda reminds me of a young David Fraley, for those of you old enough to recall Uncle Dave back in the day. I wonder if the referees for the district will come from out of region as well this season? This might have a huge say in who makes it to the regional tournament.

I didn't ask that. But I heard Dinky on the radio today and to my ears, he didn't seem to happy about a KC/B'ville first round match-up.

Coach Phipps is probley not to happy to be playing the Panthers in their new gym, sell-out crowd, trip to the region, bragging rights, etc. all rolled into one, when he can't use the underdog role after their win a couple of weeks ago. Should be fun, I can't wait.
