Not sure if my Red Devils can get out of this hole. I do think Apollo beats Catholic in the district tournament. Daviess Co. and Grayson Co. are the favorites for sure, but I have a "dark horse" in the tournament and it's Apollo. 

After having watched Grayson and Daviess County play, the gap between those two and the rest of the region is a great gulf. What will be sad is if those two have to play a Semi-Final in the region. If you want to have a packed house at the SportsCenter for a regional final, please Basketball god, put those two on opposite sides of the bracket!
