This will be an abbreviated run down as I am out on the road traveling this week. We’ll get back to more detailed run downs for the final week of the season next week.

All of the top teams faced adversity this week. Daviess County saw Jonathan Moss pick up 2 technicals against Apollo and cost him the opportunity to play in a loss against Princeton Indiana on Saturday. Grayson County suffered their first loss since the King of the Bluegrass against Lyon County Saturday. The Cougars picked up a game against Male on Tuesday.  Ohio and Apollo continue to show flashes of inconsistency as they both could be dark horse regional upset teams.

 

1. Daviess County Panthers (20-4) – SAME - Wins (Apollo 60-50) & Losses (Princeton, IN 57-52)
                The Panthers were not sharp in a road win at Apollo. Jonathan Moss picked up 2 technical fouls which forced him to sit in Saturday’s loss to Princeton. Acton has been banged up as well. It is reaching that point of the season where everyone is ready for the postseason. Daviess has games against McLean, Owensboro Catholic and Logan County this week.

 

2. Grayson County Cougars (16-5) – SAME -  Wins (76-50 Whitesville Trinity) & Losses (65-55 Lyon Co)

3. Ohio County Eagles (17-4) - SAME – Wins (59-53 Hopkinsville & 66-62 Muhlenberg) & Losses (70-47 Barren Co)

                The Eagles had an up and down week as a bad shooting night cost them against Barren County.  They had already secured the 1 seed in the 10th, but finished district play undefeated with the win over Muhlenberg.

15. Cloverport Aces (0-12) - SAME – Losses (102-15 Meade Co, 71-27 Herritage & 54-9 Francis Parker)

This is shaping up to be a two-team race, and one has to hope they are not on the same side of the bracket in the regional tourney. 

Anyone have any thoughts or ideas on a super regional?  The idea seems to be getting some traction as a way to make changes to what tournament season looks like.

I'm not sure how I feel about this. It will be interesting to see what happens? When are they wanting to do this?

I like it. Let’s go back in time for a minute. The last time Apollo won the region they upset a good Owensboro team in the 1st round of district play. If there was a super regional that Owensboro team would have still had an opportunity to make regionals and possibly go on a run. I think that Owensboro team would have beat everybody else, not named Apollo, in the region that year.

I don't like the idea, but I do think all 16 regions should be uniform.  The 15th is currently using it.

I love the idea, it moves us away from District play and everyone including Cloverport (which I'm not sure has ever made a regional tournament) will play in it. It would also give the Region and opportunity to show KHSAA how flawed or perfect their RPI ratings are.

In the 3rd this year if it was a super region this would be the matchups. Higher seed hosting the first round and after that it would move to the Sportscenter because that's how the 3rd region does with the 8 teams.

Daviess would have a bye and would move on to the Sportscenter

Daviess would play the winner of the 8/9 match up between Muhlenberg County vs McLean County

5/12 match up would be Apollo vs Hancock

4/13 match up would be Edmonson County vs Owensboro

That would be the top half of the bracket

Bottom half would have

6/11 Meade County vs Breckenridge County

3/14 would have Grayson County vs Butler County

7/10 would be Owensboro Catholic vs Trinity.

2/15 would have Ohio County vs Cloverport.

That would be a heck of a super region! But that's my $.02 worth.
