2024 Sweet 16® Bracket

[GoBucks97]

So now that all regions are set shall we get it going?! I'm taking Crossing vs Lyon in the upper half and Trinity vs Newport in the bottom half. Crossing Vs Trinity in the final, which will lead to Great Crossing being crowned champs!!

[1Forrest1]

Sleeping on Newport. Newport gets the rematch with Trinity and Crossing to bring the Championship to Newport. 
 

They will do it with or without Tay Kinney. This Newport Team is built different.

Newport and Campbell County….16 miles apart from each other will drive close to 100 miles to play each other, March Madness!  Congratulations to both NKY teams.  I wonder how many times two teams from the same county have ever faced each other in the boys state tournament?

Outside of Jefferson County, probably not much!

I'd venture it's happened a few time with the 6th and 7th regions being Louisville heavy

I'd guess that outside of Jefferson County it has never happened.

Top:

Magoffin, Great Crossing, Lyon, Adair. Great Crossing Lyon. Great Crossing

Bottom:

Harlan County, Newport, Trinity, Evangel Christian. Harlan County (if Kinney is out an extended period of time), Trinity. Trinity

 

Great Crossing over Trinity in the finals. 

 

 

[LLS10]

Great Crossing/Trinity Finals. GC coming out on top. 

[TheBallCoach]

A Great Crossing state championship with a +100 scoring margin over the 4 game stretch at Rupp. 

100% rooting for Butler County to pull of an upset over Evangel.

Would like to see those Dragons from Warren Central win a couple games as well.

Trinity is the pick on the lower half, but I believe it to be more likely they don’t make the finals opposed to Great Crossing.

That would be a storybook ending to a spectacular career.

If one could rank the likelihood of first round upsets, what would the order be?

Hearing some really good news in Newport from a very reliable source.

Coin flip games
Magoffin County/Perry County Central
Adair County/Marshall County

Most likely upset potential (with favorite being first)
Newport/Campbell County (especially depending on Kinney's status)
Harlan County/Warren Central

Outside chance (with favorite being first)
Evangel Christian/Butler County
Lyon County/Ashland

"If I woke up tomorrow with my head sewn into the carpet I wouldn't be more surprised than I am right now"
Great Crossing/Spencer County
Trinity/Pulaski County

Newport’s Kinney will play. But beat Campbell regardless of if he does or not. Covington and Jackson will be to much. Starks and Turner will consume everything around them the rim. If Anderson and Silverton get hot it might get ugly. Lowe can get you a quiet 8–10 points as well.
