Week 13:
Here’s a breakdown of each district tournament along with a final ranking for the regular season. Good luck and injury free ball to each team!

29th:
This is only a three team district. All games will take place at Oldham County. North Oldham was the 1 seed so they have already made the district finals and are waiting to see who they play. South Oldham and Oldham County are the 2-3 seed game. South Oldham beat Oldham County in the regular season by 7 at home in overtime. Christian Veirs had 27 and Julian Miles had 26 in the big win. North Oldham awaits the winner. They split the district this year and beat South Oldham by 10 but lost to Oldham County by 2 on the road. Although there are only two games being played, both should live up to the hype. The district championship is set to be played Friday night at 8. 

30th:
All games for the 30th will take place at Shelby County. Game one is tonight at 8 as Collins and Anderson County square off. Anderson County won the regular season matchup by 12 points on the road. Game two will be Tuesday night at 8 as Woodford takes on the winner from the previous game. Woodford County had two close games as they only beat Anderson by 3 on the road and Collins by 4 on the road. I think Woodford is extremely talented but if they don’t show up to play in their first round game they could be sent home. The other semifinal game is Wednesday at 8 as Spencer County and Shelby County. Spencer beat Shelby by 12 at home in their regular season game this year. The district championship will be Friday night at 8:30. Woodford beat Spencer in the regular season by 10 if all the high seeds advance. 

31st:
All games for the 31st will take place at Carroll County. The first game kicks off tonight as we see Carroll County take on Trimble County at 7:30. Carroll went 2-0 against Trimble this season winning their first game by 11 and their second game by 16. Game two takes place tomorrow at 7:30 as Henry County and Eminence play. Henry County won both of these games this season by 10 and 7. Game three takes place Wednesday night at 7:30 as Gallatin takes on the winner of Carroll and Trimble. Barring an upset, it will likely be Carroll County. Gallatin beat Carroll in both games this season by 32 and by 29. The other semifinal game will be Thursday night at 7:30. Owen County will play the winner of Henry County and Eminence. Owen won both games with Eminence this year by 33 and 48. They split their season series with Henry losing by 1 at home then rebounding with a 16 point win on the road. The district championship will take place Friday night at 8:00. Gallatin swept Henry in the regular season by 16 and 22 and split with Owen County by winning at 2 at home and losing by 7 on the road. The 31st should be exciting. 

32nd:
All games for the 32nd will take place at Grant County. The first game kicks off Tuesday at 7:00 with Walton-Verona taking on host Grant County. All teams play each other once in the district. Walton-Verona won their matchup 19 days ago by a final score of 73-70. This should be a thrilling first round matchup. Aaron Gutman led the way in the win with 29 and 10. The 2-3 seeded matchup will be Wednesday at 7:00 as Simon Kenton and Williamstown play. Simon Kenton won their regular season matchup by a score of 80-50. Travis Krohman led the pioneers with 24 and 3. The championship will take place Friday night at 7:00 PM. If the first two rounds played out with the favorites winning, Walton-Verona beat Simon Kenton in the regular season by 11.

Creates the dramatic effect I reckon. Lol

In the 8th Region bylaws all 8 schools have to agree to move it to Saturday. The last vote, maybe last March, was 7-1 to move it. Wasn’t told who the lone dissenter was.

There was an issue a few years back over draw times.  It got kind of contentious so the decision was made to make a consistent draw time.  Whichever tourney plays first will draw at 10AM on Saturday morning and the one that goes second will draw at 2PM on Sunday.  These times are firm and everyone knows them.  There are also years to take into account a team that might have their championship game on a Saturday night.  

These coaches know the teams in their region pretty well, they have played most.  Don't think it is really that big of a deal.   We shall see should be a great tournament.

Any updates?
